Senior Software Engineer, Full Stack

r2c

Remote job description

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 role

As a senior software engineer at r2c, you'll build the applications that allow developers to make the most of Semgrep. You'll develop systems to run program analysis at scale, on thousands of codebases, across millions of lines of code, and then make sense of the results. You'll listen to our contributors and users to help us design a product that they're excited to run with every commit.

Along the way, you'll learn how people write secure code that lasts, as you meet developers and security professionals at organizations ranging from single-person startups to social-media giants, and as you work with program analysis experts who are passionate about making developers' lives easier. As a member of our team, you'll be a part of the decisions that make an early-stage startup successful and your work will be critical to our mission. Every feature you build will have a measurable impact on our users' lives. We're excited to see what you do.

What you'll do

    • Own product outcomes, working with our users, designers, and your fellow engineers to identify creative solutions to tough security problems
    • Architect end-to-end systems involving web frontends, client applications, backend microservices, and data-analysis pipelines
    • Ensure continual, high-availability operation of services using modern site-reliability practices, including participation in an on-call rotation
    • Advise and mentor r2c engineers via thoughtful code reviews, planning discussions, technical documentation, and formal mentorship
    • Help grow our team, by participating in the recruitment and hiring of top engineering talent

You are ideal for this role if you have

    • A bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, similar technical field of study, boot-camp completion, or equivalent practical experience
    • 3+ years of demonstrated experience writing production backend services or client applications
    • The ability and desire to operate in unfamiliar domains, picking up the most impactful projects, whether they be in React, AWS, click, or even OCaml
    • Experience carrying technical projects to completion, or with project-management methodologies
    • An experimental, data-informed approach to identifying technical requirements; at r2c we take a "fail fast" approach, and ship minimally viable work in order to learn quickly
    • Excellent, proactive communication, both verbal and written

Some example projects that you might work on include

    • Develop an intuitive web UX for customizing security policies and visualizing security postures using React, Blueprint, and d3
    • Build a code-asset inventory library using bespoke Semgrep rules to detect languages and frameworks
    • Create a GitHub App to easily configure automated code scanning across hundreds of projects, with the click of a button
    • Craft an automated map-reduce system to rapidly detect when and how security issues are introduced into a project's history
What we offer

Our goal is to competitively and fairly compensate every r2cer with a system that equally rewards those who are vocal and those who are less comfortable making demands during the final steps of the hiring process. To that end, we generate internal compensation bands that are used when discussing and negotiating salaries. We update these based on market data to make sure they're above the average for comparable roles.

We also invest in our employees' well-being and long term success with comprehensive health plans, generous vacation time, 401k matching, learning stipends, and more. Our benefits are for everyone, so that you're taken care of, and we work with individuals to make sure they have what they need, whether that's quiet work space, adjusted hours, or any other accommodation.

Who we are

We have people from France and the Philippines, physics and philosophy, formal methods research and full fledged corporations. 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.

r2c is an equal-opportunity employer seeking a diverse range of backgrounds. We value who you are - including your cultural heritage, your socioeconomic status, your age, your race, your gender, your sexual orientation, your disabilities. We value what's vitally important to you - your family, your religion, your politics. We value what you love in this world - your music, your weekend pursuits. We believe in welcoming varied professional backgrounds, educations, and interests. If you're exceptional in your role, believe in r2c's mission, and treat r2c's values as your own, you belong here.

You will need working proficiency and communication skills in verbal and written English. We work as a hybrid on-site / remote organization. r2c primarily works in the Pacific, Eastern, and Central EU time zones.
