# Security Engineer at Greptile

- **Company:** Greptile
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA
- **Compensation:** $170k–$300k
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-08-29
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-04
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/greptile/1995303e-eaed-4081-8dc4-9c59c18c8335

## Job description

We want to build agents that autonomously validate code changes. 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.

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 $30M from Benchmark, Y Combinator, Paul Graham, 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
- Fix pentest findings and patch reported vulnerabilities
- Manage our bug bounty program and coordinate vulnerability response
- 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

## About Greptile

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Greptile provides an AI-powered code review agent that analyzes pull requests with full codebase context to catch bugs, enforce standards, and autonomously test changes.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Y Combinator W24; raised $4M seed + Series A – amount undisclosed – as of Sep 2025)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Daksh Gupta, Soohoon Choi, Vaishant Kameswaran

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI-powered developer tools / code quality & validation.
- **Target customers**: B2B; engineering teams at startups to enterprises (defense, healthcare, financial services).
- **Mission or purpose**: “Build agents that autonomously validate, test, and QA code changes before they are merged” – helping teams merge faster and catch more bugs as software becomes more critical.

## Products & Services
- **Greptile Core (AI Code Review)**: A SaaS platform that indexes a codebase into a graph of files, functions, and dependencies, then uses a swarm of AI agents to review every pull request. Integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Devin). Pricing: $30/seat/month (50 credits included, $1/additional credit).
- **TREX (Autonomous Test Agent)**: An agent that writes and runs tests for every PR in a sandboxed environment to catch bugs and missed edge cases.
- **Greptile API**: Programmatic access for custom integrations, with discounted bulk pricing.
- **MCP / Claude Code Plugin**: Connects Greptile to AI agents for sharing comment context and auto-resolving issues.
- **Self-Hosted Deployment**: Available in an air-gapped AWS environment, with support for custom LLM providers. SOC 2 compliant, SSO, audit logs, dedicated support.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – $4M seed (June 2024) + Series A (amount undisclosed, announced Sep 2025). Annual revenue not publicly available.
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Y Combinator (Winter 2024), Brad Flora (primary partner). Customers include Stripe, Amazon, PostHog, Raycast, Vouch, Podium, and YC’s internal software team.
- **Growth Signals**: Over 9,000+ teams using Greptile; team grew from 20 (early 2025) to 35 (latest YC profile); attracted enterprise customers in defense, healthcare, and financial services; introduced self-hosted, air-gapped deployment for compliance-heavy industries.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full codebase context**: Builds a graph index of files, functions, and dependencies (not just diff context) – catches multi-file logical bugs and style violations.
- **Continuous learning**: Reads engineers’ comments on PRs to adapt to team-specific coding standards over time.
- **Autonomous testing (TREX)**: Writes and runs tests in a sandbox for every PR, reducing manual QA burden.
- **Enterprise readiness**: SOC 2, self-hosted on customer’s VPC, SSO, audit logs, support for air-gapped environments.
- **Language support**: Full support for 12+ languages (Python, JS/TS, Go, Java, C/C++, Rust, etc.).

## Strategic Focus
- **Becoming the “central validation layer”** for all code changes, especially as AI-generated code increases.
- **Deepening integrations with coding agents** (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Devin) to make Greptile the default quality gate.
- **Expanding enterprise sales** into regulated industries (defense, healthcare, fintech) via self-hosted and compliance features.
- **Growing the team** – hiring across engineering, GTM, and operations (all in San Francisco).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Small, tight-knit team of researchers, engineers, and designers in San Francisco. High autonomy and ownership. Focus on solving hard problems in code quality.
- **Work model**: All open roles are listed as “San Francisco” – likely office-first with some flexibility (hybrid). The team is described as “based in San Francisco” and “small group”.
- **Perks & compensation**: Equity (0.10% – 0.30% for some roles per YC jobs), competitive salary ($140K–$160K for engineering roles). Discounts for open-source projects and pre-Series A startups.
- **Engineering culture**: Building agents that autonomously validate and test code; strong emphasis on quality, security, and continuous improvement. Opportunity to shape the future of code review at scale.
