About r2c

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 team

On r2c’s Semgrep Supply Chain team, you’ll build user facing security tools to help people secure their software applications from vulnerabilities. Our users depend on our tools to run effective, pragmatic security programs, enabling a partnership between security teams and developers. Existing vulnerability management tools produce a ton of noise, and this extra work is passed on to the AppSec teams and results in inefficient security programs. Our goal is to help cut through the noise and make security teams more effective. We work to make supply chain security as simple and intuitive for our users as possible, so they can focus on their mission.

Semgrep Supply Chain team members have the opportunity to work on a broad variety of problems. We’re responsible for the full lifecycle of the product, from finding vulnerabilities in the wild, to identifying vulnerabilities in user code, to helping customers understand their best path to remediation. We use static analysis to cut through the noise of false positives, and build beautiful user interfaces that give security folks the context they need to take action. Most importantly, our team looks for new and innovative ways to protect our users from supply chain threats.

About the role

We’re looking for a product-focused staff engineer and leader who is passionate about security and excited to learn from users and practitioners. If you enjoy running experiments, discovering new ways to delight users, and building a product from the ground up, you’ll be a great fit for our team.

We’re new parents and new grads, aspiring authors and adrenaline addicts, 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.

Mutual respect - Everybody brings incredible skills and unique expertise to the team. We listen to what each of our coworkers has to say, because their insight is valuable, and because they are always striving towards excellence, both in themselves and for r2c.
Honesty - We respect each other enough to tell the truth, no matter what. We share our concerns and disagreements openly, as well as our praise and appreciation. We are up-front with what we can deliver, and identify unattainable goals early. When we are unsure about something, we ask.
Impact - Each member of our team honestly evaluates their work to understand its impact on our users, the company, and the community at large. The world evolves, and we do with it, even if that means giving up on a cherished project when it no longer makes sense.
Mission-driven - We believe we can make a positive impact on the world by empowering everyone to use static analysis. This means we design our tasks, projects, and initiatives in service of that mission, so that together as a team we can create something that truly makes a difference.
