Semgrep, Inc
About the role
As an AI product engineer on Semgrep’s Code team, you’ll apply cutting-edge AI/ML tools from industry leaders to build user-facing security tools that help developers write and ship secure software faster. Semgrep’s Code product improves the software developers create by identifying real vulnerabilities without slowing them down. AI has the potential to unlock more efficiency by cutting through noise and delivering actionable, accurate results. You’ll learn about the application-security space, mentor other engineers, collaborate with product managers, security researchers, and application developers, and shape features our customers love. Your work will help Semgrep become a leading code analysis project and trusted security platform. You will
Integrate AI platform APIs into the Code product Develop and refine LLM prompt chains for real developer use cases Experiment with the latest AI/ML advances and determine how they can be productized Evaluate and fine-tune ML models using human- and machine-generated data Learn directly from users to understand their needs and deliver features that help them secure their code Work on major product initiatives end-to-end, from design and prototyping through implementation and deployment Contribute to technical discussions, roadmap planning, and mentoring within the team You are ideal for this role if you have
8+ years of experience writing production software Curiosity and a love of new technologies, especially AI/ML Experience experimenting with GPT-4/GPT-5, Codex, Claude, or other LLMs; familiarity with ML algorithms and applied research Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where prototypes are rapidly iterated or discarded Strong Python skills (experience with other languages a plus) Interest in prompt engineering, embeddings, and vector databases Excitement about building for customers, iterating fast, and seeing solutions solve real developer problems Excellent and proactive communication skills, both verbal and written Some example projects you might work on include
Building new detection capabilities that utilize fast, deterministic static analysis technologies within an autonomous LLM-driven agentic code analysis pipeline Identifying causes of and solving for non-determinism in model output Generating real-time, AI-powered remediation guidance for vulnerabilities in developers’ own code Automatically drafting secure code suggestions that align with project context and frameworks Building and orchestrating purpose-built custom agents for evaluating and triaging code security risks Enhancing the IDE experience with AI-assisted security insights and explanations Experimenting with AI-powered rule generation to help customers expand and tailor their Code product usage Compensation
Salary Range: $202,000 - $238,000 Our compensation package includes equity and benefits in addition to salary. The range reflects base pay for the San Francisco Bay Area. What we offer
We aim to fairly compensate every Semgrep employee with compensation bands that are reviewed against market data and updated to remain competitive. We also invest in well-being and long-term success with comprehensive health plans, vacation time, 401k, learning stipends, and more. Our benefits are designed to support all employees, including flexible work arrangements as needed. Who we are
We value diverse backgrounds and strive to create an inclusive environment where respect and honesty are prioritized. Semgrep is an equal-opportunity employer and seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce.
