Semgrep
About Semgrep
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.

You’ll work in one of the fastest growing products in the DevSecOps market, working with some of the best Application Security and Developer teams in the world.

Along the way, you’ll learn how to scale a sales organization and take a developer‑centric security product to market. You will grow your career by being an early member of a high‑growth startup backed by Sequoia Capital, Redpoint Ventures, and Felicis Ventures. As the company grows, so will your career opportunities.
