Semgrep
Semgrep is on a mission to make it expensive to exploit software. As the team behind the most popular SAST, we built the Semgrep AppSec Platform to deliver industry‑leading code, dependency, and secrets scanning to enable organizations to ship secure code quickly without slowing down development.
With fast, customizable code analysis across large codebases, Semgrep helps teams catch vulnerabilities early and fix them faster. Leading companies like Snowflake, Plaid, Figma, Lyft, and Dropbox rely on Semgrep to secure their software.
Semgrep is funded by top investors, including Felicis Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Menlo Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, and Sequoia Capital.
About the Role
As a Sr. Sales Engineer at Semgrep, you’ll be an integral part of a diverse team working to help developers build more secure applications.

You will be the technical expert working directly with our customers to understand their goals and challenges, integrate our products and services into their environments, and ensure we deliver maximum value. Prior experience in a fast‑paced, tech environment is helpful, but we are more interested in your problem‑solving abilities than your pedigree. If this opportunity excites you but you don’t meet the exact requirements, apply anyway! Location:
Candidates must be located in San Francisco, CA, or New York, NY. What you’ll do
Become an expert on Semgrep and integrate our platform into the software development lifecycle. Scope and own each customer engagement with clear objectives and success criteria. Articulate to customers how our platform is uniquely differentiated to drive greater speed, accuracy, and flexibility in their security programs. Act as a thought leader in the wider community, educating, sharing best practices, writing knowledge‑base articles and blogs, running workshops, and presenting at events. Minimize customer friction in adopting and deploying Semgrep through automation and external content. Share the voice of the customer to influence the roadmap of new features and services for the Semgrep platform, and proactively work within the organization to shape its evolution. Contribute to building a world‑class solutions engineering organization by refining and scaling workflows and processes. Qualifications
Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills in English. An interest in people and helping them solve challenging technical problems. 8+ years of pre‑sales, customer success, or customer/product support experience with customers. Experience communicating with executives and operating full sales cycles in large organizations. Ability to uplift former teams by providing technical knowledge, business acumen, industry insight, learning development, and direct mentoring. A deep understanding of developer workflows and build systems, including CI/CD environments such as GitHub Actions, GitLab, CircleCI, Jenkins, and Buildkite. Exposure to application security, vulnerability management, and static analysis programs. At least a bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, a similar technical field, boot‑camp completion, or equivalent practical experience. Compensation
Salary Range:
$168,000 - $175,000 USD ($240,000 - $250,000 uncapped OTE). Our compensation package includes equity and benefits in addition to salary. Salary is based on the San Francisco Bay Area market. 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 work with individuals to ensure they have what they need, whether that’s quiet workspace, adjusted hours, or something else. Who we are
We have people from diverse backgrounds, including France, the Philippines, physics, philosophy, formal methods research, and full‑fledged corporations. We’re new parents and new grads, aspiring authors and Americans, dog lovers, and more. In our interactions, respect, honesty, and teamwork guide us. Semgrep is an equal‑opportunity employer seeking a diverse range of backgrounds. We value who you are—including your cultural heritage, socioeconomic status, age, gender, sexual orientation, and disabilities—and we encourage you to join us if you share our mission and values.
