Head of Field Engineering - North America

Join our team at Semgrep and play an integral role in shaping the future of software analysis and security.

We run a mixed model — co-located in some geographies and distributed in others.

We think that our culture is more about what we value, who we bring on board, and the quality of our work rather than just being stuck in the same office space. But hey, we do enjoy hanging out with each other and we like to encourage our teams to get together every now and then throughout the year.

Our HQ is located in downtown SF, easily accessible by public transit.

New York

Our satellite office in the Big Apple is small, but mighty.

Remote + Hybrid

Enjoy the flexibility and convenience of working from home or wherever you work best.

We look for upside, asking "What can go right?" rather than “What can go wrong?”. We question everything and relentlessly look for the big opportunities to serve our users, impact our mission, and improve ourselves.

We offer health, dental, and vision plans for you and your dependents.

Unlimited PTO

We work hard so it’s important to recharge. Time off is mandated and at least 3+ weeks is encouraged.

We offer retirement plans, including 401(k), for investing in your future.

As Head of Field Engineering at Semgrep, you’ll lead our Commercial and Enterprise Solutions Engineering organization during a pivotal stage of growth.

You’ll help define how Semgrep’s global Solutions Engineering function scales. You’ll be responsible for building a consistent operating model, raising the standard of technical sales execution, and ensuring the organization can support increasingly complex customer needs.

You’ll partner closely with Sales leadership to drive revenue, improve technical win rates, scale the team, and deliver consistent execution across high-velocity Commercial deals and complex Enterprise sales cycles.

We’re looking for a builder who can hire exceptional talent, develop future managers, create scalable operating rhythms, and remain close to the business. You should be equally comfortable reviewing the forecast, coaching a technical win strategy, stepping into a critical customer meeting, or representing Solutions Engineering with executive and board-level stakeholders.

You’ll report to the VP of Worldwide Sales and serve as a key member of Semgrep’s global go-to-market leadership team.
