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

As a Senior Growth Engineer within the Engineering organization, you'll work at the intersection of product, marketing, and sales to drive user acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue growth. You'll build and optimize experiences that help new users onboard seamlessly, drive product adoption, and improve our ability to convert free users to paying customers. You’ll experiment rapidly, analyze user behavior, and implement changes that scale Semgrep’s growth engine.

You will:

  • Develop and scale growth experiments across the funnel—acquisition, activation, engagement, retention, and monetization—using a mix of product, engineering, and data science techniques.
  • Build and optimize user experiences that drive self-serve adoption and expand usage within teams.
  • Leverage data and analytics to measure user behavior, uncover insights, and identify opportunities for growth.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, RevOps, Marketing, Product, and Engineering teams to lead PLG and SLG motions.
  • Automate and enhance workflows for customer acquisition, lead qualification, and sales enablement.
  • Contribute to technical growth initiatives, such as in-app experiments, onboarding flows, and usage-based monetization models.
  • Own and improve growth infrastructure, including experimentation platforms, tracking systems, and data pipelines.

You are ideal for this role if you have:

  • Enthusiasm and experience with experimentation-driven approach to problem-solving
  • 4+ years of experience writing production software and building web applications. Our stack includes Python, Typescript, and Postgres
  • Excitement about building for customers, learning their needs, iterating fast, and seeing your solutions solve their core problems
  • Excellent and proactive communication, both verbal and written

Some examples projects you might work on include:

  • Build a system to evaluate and improve the data quality of enrichment, ensuring accurate and actionable insights for Sales, while continuously refining the quality of the lead and account data to drive revenue expansion and net dollar retention
  • Collaborate across engineering teams to drive additional new user registrations and activations by reducing the barrier to try and adopt new product features
  • Experiment with Gen AI to generate personalized security rule sets based on language and security needs

Compensation

Salary Range : $176,000-207,000 USD

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, 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. If you’re exceptional in your role, believe in Semgrep’s mission, and treat Semgrep’s values as your own, you belong here.
