Job Description

Position:

Head of Design

Description:

About Semgrep:
Semgrep is on a mission to make it expensive to exploit software. As the team behind a leading SAST, we built the Semgrep AppSec Platform to deliver code, dependency, and secrets scanning, allowing organizations to ship secure code quickly without slowing development. Companies like Snowflake, Plaid, Figma, Lyft, and Dropbox rely on Semgrep to secure their software.

About The Role:
We are searching for a Head of Design to lead and scale our design team and deliver exceptional user experiences across our web and command-line tools. Reporting to the CEO, you will be responsible for ensuring Semgrep’s UX is industry-leading while maintaining a solid, intuitive UI.

As a hands-on design leader with a strong UX background and outcome orientation, you will:
- Leadership & Strategy (50%) :
- Lead and grow our design team, fostering a high-performance culture
- Define and execute a UX strategy driving measurable product adoption and user success
- Actively participate in product management meetings ensuring product/design alignment
- Maintain a proactive, strategic approach (less than 10% of the team’s work should be reactive)
- Deliver at least two major product metric improvements per quarter
- Individual Contribution (50%) :
- Own UX for core workflows, optimizing for speed, efficiency, and task success
- Conduct user research and translate insights into UX flow diagrams and wireframes
- Collaborate with PMs to define and measure in-product success outcomes
- Continuously iterate on UX flows based on data
- Leverage AI and cutting-edge tools for prototyping and testing

This high-impact role is based in our San Francisco office, with the expectation of 2 days/week in-office attendance.

Requirements:

You are ideal for this role if you have:
- Deep UX background, with a bias for action—willing to ship wireframes to achieve 100% task success
- Experience at a world-class product company (e.g., Dropbox, Figma, Facebook) with measurable outcomes
- Strong product thinking; ability to work seamlessly with PMs and designers
- Data-driven design approach focusing on user success
- Enthusiasm for AI and new technologies in design and iteration
- Experience in a fast-paced tech environment is helpful, but product thinking and data-driven skills are most valued

Benefits:

Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
- Internal compensation bands based on market data, ensuring fairness and competitiveness
- Comprehensive health plans
- Generous vacation time
- 401k
- Learning stipends
- Inclusive, supportive work environment (support for quiet work space, adjusted hours, etc.)
- Focus on employee well-being and long-term success

Semgrep is an equal-opportunity employer welcoming diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
