Senior Software Engineer, Program Analysis
Job description
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.
About the role
We are looking for a program analysis engineer to join our dynamic team and help us power Semgrep.
You'll have the opportunity to learn and grow by working with developers and security professionals at all levels, from startups to social media giants. You'll collaborate with passionate program analysis experts who are dedicated to making developers' lives easier. As a valued member of our team, you'll help shape our company's future and mission. Every feature you create will have a tangible impact on our users' lives, and we are excited to see what you do.
Location expectations:
- Our expectation is that this role will be 100% remote.
Prior experience in a fast-paced, tech environment is helpful, but we are more interested in your coding abilities and problem solving skills than your pedigree. So if this opportunity excites you but you don't meet the exact requirements, apply anyway!
What you'll do
- Design and help build world-class pragmatic software analysis tools for the security practitioners and developers
- Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and other partners to identify the most meaningful issues affecting today's developers
- Craft high quality tools and checks to discover and fix these issues in our users' codebases
- Develop systems or frameworks (e.g. linters, analysis tools, and other developer-workflow integrations) that help other engineers improve security
You are ideal for this role if you have
- A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience
- Excitement about building for customers, learning their needs, iterating fast, and seeing your solutions solve their problems
- Experience with functional languages like OCaml, Haskell, or Scala
- Experience in one dynamic language like Python, Ruby, Javascript, or PHP
- Familiarity with program analysis and transformation concepts and tools, e.g. SSA, LLVM IR, taint tracking
- An interest in compilers, programming languages, functional programming, or program analysis
- A passion for software security
Compensation
Salary Range: $164,900 - $194,000
Our compensation package includes equity and benefits in addition to salary.
Please note that the range listed is for someone based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
What we offer
Our goal is to competitively and fairly compensate every Semgrep employee with a system that equally rewards those who are vocal and those who are less comfortable making demands during the final steps of the hiring process. To that end, we generate internal compensation bands that are used when discussing and negotiating salaries. We update these based on market data to make sure they're above the average for comparable roles.
We also invest in our employees' well-being and long term success with comprehensive health plans, generous vacation time, 401k matching, learning stipends, and more. Our benefits are for everyone, so that you're taken care of, and we work with individuals to make sure they have what they need, whether that's quiet work space, adjusted hours, or something else.
Who we are
We have people from France and the Philippines, physics and philosophy, formal methods research and full fledged corporations. We're new parents and new grads, aspiring authors and aspiring Americans, dog lovers and dogfooders. We get together often to bike, bake, and meet up in parks. In our interactions, we believe respect and honesty go hand in hand, and prioritize both.
Semgrep is an equal-opportunity employer seeking a diverse range of backgrounds. We value who you are — including your cultural heritage, your socioeconomic status, your age, your race, your gender, your sexual orientation, your disabilities. We value what's vitally important to you — your family, your religion, your politics. We value what you love in this world — your music, your weekend pursuits. We believe in welcoming varied professional backgrounds, educations, and interests.
