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.

About Semgrep

Semgrep, the leader in code security for builders, empowers invention without friction. Teams catch, flag, and fix real issues before they ship, powered by security that learns as they build. Semgrep secures code as it’s written and provides guardrails that pave the road for developers to move fast and stay secure. Built for builders and trusted by security, Semgrep lives where developers work, delivering fixes without breaking flow, and giving security teams visibility, control, and confidence. Semgrep gets smarter as you build, with AI that learns your context to cut false positives and prioritize reachable vulnerabilities, validated by 95% of security reviewers across 6M+ findings. Semgrep makes zero false positives a reality with AppSec teams triaging 80% fewer false positives across Code and Supply Chain, dramatically shrinking the backlog.

Founded in San Francisco and backed by Menlo Ventures, Felicis Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint Ventures, and Sequoia Capital, Semgrep is recognized by Gartner in Application Security Testing and is trusted by leading organizations, including Vanta, Lyft, and Dropbox.

About the role

Semgrep is building a system called Workflows that combines traditional code security scanning tools with LLMs in innovative ways to detect, validate, and even remediate security issues better than traditional tools or LLMs on their own. This system is fundamental to how Semgrep is going to succeed in an AI-native world.

The workflows system consists of an SDK for composing operations (typically CLI tool calls and agent invocations) into workflows, an environment for periodically executing these workflows, and a set of pre-defined workflows that work out of the box. The workflows team owns all three of these areas (with assistance from our platform, infrastructure, and security research teams).

We are looking for an engineering manager to lead a team of 3-5 engineers and make their own contributions as well. You are ideal for this role if you have:
