Job description

Join our team at Semgrep and play an integral role in shaping the future of software analysis and security.

We run a mixed model — co-located in some geographies and distributed in others.

We think that our culture is more about what we value, who we bring on board, and the quality of our work rather than just being stuck in the same office space. But hey, we do enjoy hanging out with each other and we like to encourage our teams to get together every now and then throughout the year.

Our HQ is located in downtown SF, easily accessible by public transit.

New York

Our satellite office in the Big Apple is small, but mighty.

Remote + Hybrid

Enjoy the flexibility and convenience of working from home or wherever you work best.

We look for upside, asking "What can go right?" rather than “What can go wrong?”. We question everything and relentlessly look for the big opportunities to serve our users, impact our mission, and improve ourselves.

We offer health, dental, and vision plans for you and your dependents.

Unlimited PTO

We work hard so it’s important to recharge. Time off is mandated and at least 3+ weeks is encouraged.

We offer retirement plans, including 401(k), for investing in your future.

In our interactions, we believe respect and honesty go hand in hand, and prioritize both.

Semgrep is an equal-opportunity employer seeking a diverse range of backgrounds. We value who you are — including your cultural heritage, your socioeconomic status, your age, your race, your gender, your sexual orientation, your disabilities. We value what’s vitally important to you — your family, your religion, your politics. We value what you love in this world — your music, your weekend pursuits. We believe in welcoming varied professional backgrounds, educations, and interests. If you’re exceptional in your role, believe in Semgrep’s mission, and treat Semgrep’s values as your own, you belong here.
