Security Workflows-Staff Software Engineer, Backend
About The Position
As a member of the Security Workflows team, you'll build customer-facing, cross-product integrations that make it simple for application security teams to prioritize, triage, and remediate vulnerabilities at scale. Whether that is through notifications, automating their workflows, reporting on how much time you saved them, or the next great idea, you'll see how you can bring all the products together to help teams fix vulnerabilities fast and easy. Application Security teams deal with thousands of vulnerabilities every day, and our goal is to enable teams to cut through the noise and more efficiently focus on the most impactful vulnerabilities first. We aim to help AppSec teams fix vulnerabilities by building integrations with the systems where developers are already active. You'll learn about the application-security space, mentor more junior developers, collaborate with product managers and other engineers to create security tools our customers love, architect systems for storing and maintaining sensitive data, and help us surface those data back to our users to help them understand their individual security posture. Through Semgrep's culture of transparency, you'll see and influence the decisions that make a startup successful. Your decisions will be key to making Semgrep a world-leading static-analysis project, giving you lasting influence not only at Semgrep, but in the world's developer community.
