About The Role

As a Sales Engineer at Semgrep, you'll be an integral part of a diverse team working to help developers everywhere build more secure applications. Your daily engagements with our customers would directly contribute to a more productive and durable development process that catches software vulnerabilities before they go live. You will be the technical expert working directly with our customers to understand their goals and challenges, integrate our products and services into their environments, and ensure we deliver the maximum value possible.

Location expectations: Ideal preference is for the candidate to be based out of San Francisco, CA office in a hybrid capacity, but we are open to any candidates working remotely in the United States

• Actual compensation will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, location, internal equity, and market data. Total compensation may also include equity and benefits. We view equity as a meaningful part of our compensation philosophy and an opportunity for employees to share in the long-term value they help create.
