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.
As a Senior Product Marketing Manager, your work will be critical to enabling our audience of security and software engineers to understand the value of the Semgrep platform and individual offerings. You’ll bring new products and features to market, partnering closely with sales, and our product management, demand gen, and community teams.
By exercising your craft skills in differentiation and competitive messaging, you’ll also help Semgrep’s solutions stand out in the dynamic application security market. Prior experience working in a company targeting a technical audience is a huge plus, but it doesn’t have to have been in the security industry.
Location expectations:
- Our expectation is that this role will be based in our San Francisco office 1-2 days a week. For the right candidate, we are also open to this role sitting in New York, Boston, or Denver.
Prior experience in a fast-paced, tech environment is helpful, but we are more interested in your competitive messaging and strategic thinking skills than your pedigree. So if this opportunity excites you but you don’t meet the exact requirements, apply anyway!
What you’ll do- Develop product launch strategies that maximizes impact and reach of our product development
- Show security and developer teams how they’ll benefit from Semgrep products by creating and shipping material that succinctly conveys their value

- Work with your partners in demand generation, events, community, and RevOps to ensure success of our messaging and product-centric campaigns
- Make a direct, tangible impact on the product’s and company’s growth
- 4+ years of experience in a go-to-market role in marketing, developer advocacy, or product management
- A love for creating product-centric marketing programs and content that communicate the value of technical products to bottoms-up and tops-down audiences
- Excellent communications skills that present technical concepts in an easy-to-understand manner through a variety of media
- Excellence in working cross-functionally with sales, pre-sales engineering, and product management teams
- Experience creating sales collateral based on sales and customer observations, user research, and competitive dynamics
- Technical aptitude to inform an excellent understanding of software development and security
- A rapid-iteration mindset that enables experimentation and adjustment depending on what works
