Job description

Our mission is to make world‑class software security available to everyone. This means building program analysis tools that are open source, easy to use, powerful, and fast. It also means building a team with security expertise and a passion for great developer experiences. Most of all, it means working with honesty and respect in a diverse community of dreamers and builders. We’ve redefined static analysis tooling by committing to all of these, and turned our project, Semgrep, into an essential safeguard for code at Snowflake, Dropbox, and more.

The Senior Technical Support Engineer I (TSE) is a critical role in our Engineering Department. Our TSEs enhance the customer experience and drive value by being trusted technical experts. We engage with customers to troubleshoot highly technical issues and serve as the first line of defense against technical support issues that arrive via email, Slack, and other support forums. In this role you will investigate and resolve customer problems for the Semgrep product line, including Semgrep SAST, Supply Chain and Secrets. Support is a very cross‑functional team, partnering across Engineering, Product, and Sales – providing opportunities for career growth in a lively and fast‑paced environment.

• This role can be fully remote, in either Singapore or Australia

Prior experience in a fast‑paced, tech environment is helpful, but we are more interested in your problem‑solving skills than your pedigree. So if this opportunity excites you but you don’t meet the exact requirements, apply anyway!

What you’ll do

• Understand, reproduce and resolve complicated technical issues supporting AppSec Engineers, Security Engineers, and Software Engineers.
• Drive an operational mindset with managing support tickets – ensuring data and systems are updated to resolve tickets and identify areas of improvement for the customer experience.
• Be the voice of the customer to help prioritize recurring feature requests with our product and engineering teams.
• Help our team scale over time – write documentation, create troubleshooting playbooks, develop new tooling/training/processes that drive efficiency.
• Participate in on‑call duties to cover urgent tickets for regional holidays, Semgrep company holidays, and a global rotation for weekend support.

You are ideal for this role if you have

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• A deep understanding of developer workflows and build systems, including CI / CD environments such as GitHub Actions, GitLab, Circle CI, Jenkins, and Buildkite and SCM environments such as Git.
• Familiarity with Web Application Security concepts including OWASP Top 10.
• Basic understanding of API and Webhooks.
• A genuine interest and passion for helping solve problems, with a high degree of empathy for the customer experience.
• 2+ years of experience working in a technical customer support role or former experience as a software engineer.
• Ability to work 9am – 6pm local time Monday through Friday; plus availability for rotational on‑call support for weekend/holiday rotation.

Compensation

Salary Range: $101,000 – $119,000 USD (for San Francisco Bay Area). Our compensation package includes equity and benefits in addition to salary.

What we offer

We invest in our employees’ well‑being and long‑term success with comprehensive health plans, generous vacation time, 401(k), learning stipends, and more. We provide competitive equity and a rich benefits package to support work‑life balance and professional growth.

Who we are

We have people from France and the Philippines, physics and philosophy, formal methods research and full‑fledged corporations. We’re new parents and new grads, aspiring authors and aspiring Americans, dog lovers and dog‑fooders. In our interactions, we believe respect and honesty go hand in hand and prioritize both. Our culture is built on teamwork, curiosity, and a relentless focus on delivering value to our customers.
