Our mission is to make it expensive to exploit software.

Operate with urgency and deliver results faster than peers and expectations. We value momentum over perfection and action over hesitation.

Pursue bold, high-impact work while maintaining a high standard of execution and reliability. We expect both boring excellence and ambitious bets.

Put users first and make decisions with a service mindset toward user outcomes. Success is defined by what improves for users, not what is easiest for us.

Surface concerns and engage in constructive debate. Focus on solving the problem, not protecting ego or preserving artificial harmony.

Recognize and accept meaningful progress, even when outcomes are imperfect. Acknowledge wins and forward motion rather than deferring satisfaction indefinitely.

We have not reached our limits. We emphasize growth and learning, and don’t anchor on where we are and what we can do as of today. This mindset supports our constant improvement; we know we can do more and do better tomorrow (we have not “arrived” yet).

We prioritize an environment where people are valued, respected, and included, regardless of their background or position within the organization. Accomplishing our mission demands a diverse set of perspectives, voices, and backgrounds. We value who we’ve each worked hard to become. This extends to the Semgrep community.

We won't put a price on integrity. Honesty fuels learning and is fundamental to building this enduring company.

We are passionate about our work and mission. We have soul-in-the-game, which incentivizes us to be non-transactional and pushes us to build something truly great. What we build has part of us in it.

We root out entitlement. Everyone here does what it takes to meet the needs of our customers and the company. Arrogance and hubris interfere with growing an enduring and autonomous team. We lead primarily by influence and use authority sparingly.
