Job description

We’re looking for a Founding Engineerto join us inSan Francisco.

What you’ll do

You’ll be joining us as our second engineering hire and will be a member of the founding team. You’ll work on shipping major features from start to finish and will play a critical role in the future of Sourcebot.

You’ll own the design and development of new functionality through the entire process of speaking with users, architecting an implementation, shipping it, and getting feedback from engineering teams. Areas that you’ll be working on include:

  • Building core code indexing pipelines that scale across thousands of repositories
  • Building agents that can retrieve and summarize context from millions of lines of code
  • Meeting with enterprise teams at the cutting edge to learn about and solve their problems
  • Building a world class developer tool experience used by thousands of engineers

Within the first few weeks of joining you’ll be able to solve real problems that will be released to engineering teams around the world.

What we’re looking for

We’re a small highly technical team that moves fast. We care deeply about the work we do, and we’re looking for someone who does as well. We’re looking for people who care about the craft of building software and shipping products that they’re proud of.

We’re not looking for experience in a specific tech stack. The entire team comes from the video game industry. Before starting Sourcebot, most us were shipping low-level C++ and building 3d graphics and network engines. We recognize that the most important quality of an engineer is strong foundational knowledge and the ability to solve hard problems.
