Sr. Engineering Manager, Software Composition Analysis
About The Position
As an EM for Semgrep's supply chain team, you’ll lead a team building customer-facing tools to help developers secure their software from vulnerabilities introduced by dependencies. Other supply chain management tools exist, but they produce far too much noise to be useful or efficient. Security teams may review thousands of vulnerabilities, informing developers that hundreds of their dependencies have introduced critical vulnerabilities and 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 20% 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 for our users as possible so developers can focus on their own mission. You'll help Semgrep be the leading application security platform while mentoring junior engineers, collaborating on customer-loved tools, architecting data systems, and helping users understand their security posture. Through Semgrep's culture of transparency, you'll see and influence the decisions that make a startup successful.
