A bit about the team

You can get to know the team better at one of the interviews, but some brief information about future colleagues will be useful now.

We are part of the Competitive Intelligence Unit. We help our customers monitor their rivals, track competitor activity, and use this information to make important marketing (and not only marketing) decisions. People, communications, growth, and development are our most important values.

The Maroon Team is developing the Traffic Analytics product. Our product allows users to find out where competitors’ websites are getting traffic from, analyze domains, and find points of growth for their own traffic. The project is challenging and exciting. We want to grow as fast as possible and be as helpful for our customers as we can!

We will try to create all the right conditions for you to work and rest comfortably

• It’s up to you to decide what work format works best for you. You can #wfo, #wfh, or mix both.

• Flexible working day start

• Unlimited PTO

• Hobby benefit

• Breakfast, snacks, and coffee at the office

• Corporate events

• Training, courses, conferences

• Gifts for employees

Finally, a little more about our company

We’ve been developing our product for 16 years and have been awarded G2s Top 100 Software Products, Global and US Search Awards 2021, Great Place to Work Certification, Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and many more. In March 2021 Semrush went public and started trading on the NYSE with the SEMR ticker.

Our new colleague, we are waiting for you!
Semrush is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We do not discriminate based upon race, religion, creed, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, ancestry, physical or mental disability, or medical condition including medical characteristics, genetic identity, marital status, military service, or any other classification protected by applicable local, state or federal laws. All employment decisions are based on business needs, job requirements, merit, and individual qualifications.

At Semrush, we take a serious and comprehensive approach to hiring new people. We welcome those who are professionals in their field and passionate about their work to join our team.

A “five-minute interview” or “get a job in three clicks” approach is not the way we work.

During the interview, we ask candidates to talk about themselves and their background in detail. We try to discover the most important aspects about the way someone works and their personality before a job offer is made.
