I am a green card holder working for a foreign company in the US. Would I be exempt from social security taxes?

As a U.S. green card holder, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., you are by definition a U.S. resident alien, not a nonresident alien.

While certain classes of visa holders who are nonresident aliens may qualify for exceptions from paying Social Security/Medicare taxes, a resident alien performing services in the U.S. as an employee is liable for U.S. Social Security and Medicare taxes, just the same as a U.S. citizen.

For more information, please see the following IRS guide, "Alien Liability for Social Security and Medicare Taxes of Foreign Teachers, Foreign Researchers, and Other Foreign Professionals":

Green Card Holders (Lawful Permanent Resident) Working in the United States
If you are a green card holder employed by a foreign government or international organization, you are not subject to self-employment taxes and may not voluntarily participate in the U.S. social security system.

@noramerkel , you said in your post you are working for a foreign company, that is not the same as a foreign government. So please clarify.
