Sr. Engineering Manager, Supply Chain (San Francisco)

Semgrep is on a mission to make it expensive to exploit software. As the team behind the most popular SAST, we built the Semgrep AppSec Platform to deliver industry-leading code, dependency, and secrets scanning to enable organizations to ship secure code quickly without slowing down development.

With fast, customizable code analysis across large codebases, Semgrep helps teams catch vulnerabilities early and fix them faster. Leading companies like Snowflake, Plaid, Figma, Lyft, and Dropbox rely on Semgrep to secure their software.

Semgrep is funded by top investors, including Felicis Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Menlo Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, and Sequoia Capital.

About the role

As an EM for Semgrep's supply chain team, youll 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 youve 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.

You will:

• Work closely with your product and design partners to create a roadmap for the success of your product that balances iterative changes with big bets
• Prioritize and direct your teams schedule, balancing the needs of developing new technology and internal technical quality
• Retain and strengthen engineers with coaching and mentorship, regular feedback, performance reviews, and performance management when necessary
• Build an environment of trust that rewards creativity, risk taking, and personal responsibility
• Continually grow your team through the hiring of diverse, productive, high-level technical talent

You are ideal for this role if you have:

• One or more years of experience leading software engineering teams
• A strong foundation in product development and bringing products to production via a multi-disciplinary engineering team - including understanding best practices for design, iterative milestone creation, and utilizing customer feedback
• Familiarity with agile development principles and iterative milestone development
• A strong desire to help engineers and other leaders grow through coaching and mentorship
• You have opinions on Software Composition Analysis, have built a security product before, or have worked at a dev tooling company

You might spend a typical day:

• Working with your team, product management, and engineering leadership to craft your teams strategic direction and a strong quarter over quarter roadmap to execute on it
• Defining goals within a team meeting to ensure your team is executing on their short term goals week over week while providing them the vision for the future of the product
• Coaching a senior engineer, helping them gain the skills needed to lead and mentor other engineers through increasingly difficult projects
• Making direct technical contributions to help deliver new features and gain a strong understanding of the work your team is doing
