Today that looks like AI that reviews pull requests in GitHub, catching bugs and enforcing standards. Greptile reviews 5B lines of code every month for 22,000+ customers. Own Greptile’s security posture across the product, infrastructure, and internal systems. We’re looking for a hands-on Security Engineer to conduct penetration testing, triage bug-bounty reports, remediate vulnerabilities, and harden Greptile’s infrastructure. You’ll work directly with engineers on secure product and infrastructure improvements and critical architecture decisions. ## Problems we’re excited about - Coding standards can be idiosyncratic and are often poorly documented; can we build agents that learn them through osmosis like a new hire might? - Can we identify for each customer what types of PR feedback they do and don’t care about in order to increase signal-to-noise ratio? - Some bugs are best caught by running the code. Can we autonomously deploy feature branches and use agents to try to break the application? - How do we secure a product that processes highly sensitive code across cloud, self-hosted, and air-gapped environments? ## Trajectory - 22,000+ customers - 5B lines of code reviewed every month - Scaled from $0 to eight figures in ARR - Raised $80M from Menlo Ventures, Benchmark, Y Combinator, and Initialized ## Team - We have assembled a small, talent dense team who have scaled critical functions at companies like Stripe, Google, Figma, etc. ## Responsibilities - Own Greptile’s security posture across the product, infrastructure, and internal systems. - Consult on risky code changes and critical architecture decisions. - Conduct penetration tests, fix pentest findings and patch reported vulnerabilities. - Manage our bug bounty program, triage incoming reports, and coordinate vulnerability response. - Harden Greptile’s infrastructure and internal systems. Design, implement, test, and deploy secure product and infrastructure improvements. - Work directly with engineers to make security part of how we build, rather than a final review step. ## Qualifications - B.S. Computer Science or equivalent degree, undergraduate or higher - 3+ years of software engineering, DevOps, or security engineering experience - Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript - Deep knowledge of application, infrastructure, and cloud security - Experience working on security-critical products and complex architectures - Strong judgment when evaluating vulnerabilities, technical tradeoffs, and risk ## You will like this role if - You want to work on a product that thousands of developers rely on - You want real ownership over the security of a fast-growing technical product - The chaos of high growth and things breaking is exciting to you - You like being in an office every day around other smart people who are excited about what they’re building - You love solving very hard problems. - You specifically prefer working in-person over working remote ## Skills - DevOps - Penetration Testing - Triage - Security Engineering - TypeScript - JavaScript - Computer Science - Cloud Security and Compliance - Bug Bounty ## Related - [Technology & Software jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/technology-and-software?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Cybersecurity jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/technology-and-software/cybersecurity?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Security Engineer jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/technology-and-software/cybersecurity/security-engineer?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Browse all companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) ## Explore this job market - [California](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 260760 jobs - [Software Products](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/technology/software-products?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 118918 jobs - [San Francisco, CA](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california/san-francisco?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 27903 jobs ## Related pages - [California](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 260760 jobs - [Software Products](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/technology/software-products?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 118918 jobs - [San Francisco, CA](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california/san-francisco?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 27903 jobs ## Browse - [Companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by country](https://www.foundrole.com/locations?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs in the United States by state and city](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B sponsors by location](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-sponsors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B salaries](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-salaries?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Sectors and industries](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by career field](https://www.foundrole.com/careers?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Latest jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/jobs/latest?utm_source=ai_markdown)
