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 Snowflake, Dropbox, and Figma.

As a full stack engineer on Semgrep’s Supply Chain team, you’ll build customer-facing features to help developers secure their software from vulnerabilities introduced by third-party dependencies. Other supply chain management tools exist, but they produce far too much noise to be useful or efficient. Security and engineering teams may receive thousands of critical vulnerabilities that need updating, when in reality they are not even using those dependencies in a vulnerable way. Perhaps you’ve even felt this pain yourself!
Our goal is to cut through the noise: to make it easy to find and remediate the 2% of vulnerabilities that are actually reachable given the way our customers’ use their dependencies. We work to make supply chain security as simple and intuitive so developers can focus on their own mission.
Semgrep Supply Chain has strong product-market fit, and is loved by tiny startups to large enterprises. We need your help to meet the needs of our growing customer base.
You will:
Build a product that makes the world safer by making developers’ lives easier
Work on major product initiatives end-to-end, from user-research through design, implementation, and deployment
Help set technical and product direction, collaborating with the team to determine the future of the product, what features to build, and how to build them
Build scalable systems that meet the demands of tomorrow’s customers
Advise and mentor other engineers via thoughtful code reviews, planning discussions, technical documentation, and formal mentorship
You are ideal for this role if you have:
5+ years of experience writing production software, building web applications, and operating with high autonomy. Our stack includes Python, Typescript, Postgres, and DGraph
Excitement about building a product for developers in a highly iterative environment
Enjoy helping startups mature their product to meet new demands in scale and performance
Excellent and proactive communication, both verbal and written
Some examples projects you might work on include:
Tastefully using AI to help customers prioritize and remediate security vulnerabilities
Features to help customers respond to the next dependency malware incident (e.g. sha1-hulud, tj-actions)
Allow customers across a wide variety of languages and package managers to have a seamless onboarding experience
Collect and expose health metrics on open source dependencies to help keep users’ software free of poorly maintained, low quality, and malicious packages
Build data flow and call graphs to determine whether vulnerabilities from transitive dependencies are reachable from users’ code
This position is preferred to go into an office 2-3 days/week.
