Head of Talent

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

We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Head of Talent to join the Semgrep team. Your mission will be to scale our talent acquisition program to attract and recruit the best culturally-aligned candidates into Semgrep. You'll manage a candidate experience program that ensures we avoid biases, measure performance in interviews accurately and fairly, and leave every interviewee with a great impression of the company - regardless of interview outcome. You have a track record of doing this and / or have big ideas to build an exceptional program at scale.

You'll report into our Head of People and manage our recruiting team. You will thrive in this role if you are passionate about scaling systems and driving efficiency, especially diving into numbers. Others describe you as a problem solver who is proactive, dependable and driven. This position will be based in our San Francisco office with an in-office expectation at least 1-2 days / week; we do not have flexibility for you to be fully remote or based outside of the Bay Area.

While prior experience in a fast-paced, tech environment is helpful, we are more interested in your ability to be curious and problem solve. So if this opportunity excites you but you don’t meet the exact requirements, apply anyway.

What you’ll do

• Manage and develop our talent acquisition team
• Utilize data-driven recruiting techniques to ensure that the recruitment process is efficient and effective, providing ongoing recruited related metrics and KPIs
• Build relationships with hiring managers to ensure that their recruitment needs are met
• Streamline and enhance talent acquisition processes, including managing relationships with external vendors to update tool efficiencies
• Effectively drive ad hoc projects and programs across the recruiting team, using industry trends and funnel metrics to inform and inspire strategies
• Maintain the high performance bar that Semgrep has established for talent and apply it as we build out various teams
• Prioritize building a diverse team at every step of the recruiting process
