Socket (https://socket.dev) | Staff Software Engineer & Security Researcher | SF or REMOTE | Full-time

If you specialize in making computers do things they’re not supposed to do, please drop us a line.

Socket's mission is to help developers and security teams to ship faster and spend less time on security busywork. Thousands of organizations use Socket to safely discover, audit, and manage their open source code. Our customers – from Figma to Vercel – absolutely love Socket (just read their tweets to see for yourself! [1])

The company was founded by Feross Aboukhadijeh [2], who has worked in open source software for 10+ years writing software that receives more than a billion downloads per month. We have raised $25M in funding [3] from the best angel investors, operators, and security leaders in the industry.

We're a small team (~15) but we're already depended on by top companies like Figma, Vercel, Brave, Replit, Expo, Metamask, a massive telecom in Canada, as well as three massive AI companies that you've definitely heard of ;)

I've been following Feross and the Socket team since they were announced. Cool folks exploring a very undeserved verticals in the security space (capability analysis, security posture over time, etc). Highly recommend chatting them up if you see them at a security conference or are local to SF.

Feross--hope you and the team are doing well!


I admire what Socket is doing. If anything happened to my current job it would be the first place where I'd want to work. Keep rocking Feross, greetings from Colombia.
