AI is accelerating code creation, but the infrastructure to understand, oversee, and evolve that code hasn't kept pace. Sourcegraph gives engineering organizations full visibility across their systems, precise context for their agents, and the ability to execute coordinated code changes at scale. ## Hours & location While we hire almost anywhere in the world, we have a preference for someone to reside in the following locations for this role. However, if you feel qualified, we welcome you to apply regardless of location. No matter what, working hours must overlap with CEST for at least 20 hours/week. ## Why this job is exciting The Code Plane team owns the Sourcegraph products that help developers - and the agents working on their behalf - take action on code, at scale, across the world's largest codebases. This is a team that builds products that use AI and products for AI. The roadmap, the architecture, and the day-to-day technical decisions all hinge on a solid experience with and a clear-eyed view of what AI models and agents are good at, where they fail, and how to design products around them. ## Responsibilities Within one month, you will… - Build relationships across your team and familiarize yourself with its surface area - Batch Changes, Agentic Batch Changes, Code Monitors, Code Insights, src CLI - by running them as a user and an agent would, and form a point of view on the most important product and technical bets to make next. - Meet your cross-functional partners in Product, Design, Solutions Engineering, and adjacent engineering teams, and start translating customer feedback into a concrete view of what the team should ship. - Join the team's on-call support rotation. Within three months, you will… - Own a meaningful slice of Agentic Batch Changes end-to-end and ship critical pieces yourself. - Be the technical lead for the team's roadmap, scoping and sequencing projects across the team's product surfaces, setting clear expectations for ownership, and clarifying priorities. - Strengthen the team practices that make their work reliable: how we design, review, test, and deliver. - Mentor teammates and continue to build high-trust relationships. Within six months, you will… - Be the recognized technical visionary for Code Plane: to your teammates, and increasingly the wider department, defer to on architecture, quality, and product trade-offs in this space. - Be known across the company as the person who deeply understands what customers and agent ecosystems need from Code Plane, and where Sourcegraph should invest next. - Be setting the direction of the team's roadmap with conviction backed by evidence, and mobilizing other engineers to execute on it. ## About you You are a technical leader and software engineer whom people want to follow. You set technical direction, make the hard architecture and tradeoff calls, and keep the team unblocked and moving. You think in terms of customers and outcomes, not tickets. ## Requirements - 8+ years of professional software engineering experience - Fluency across our stack, backend and frontend: Go, TypeScript, SvelteKit and React, GraphQL APIs, PostgreSQL, and Docker and Kubernetes in a multi-service environment. - A strong technical background, with the ability to provide technical guidance on architecture, code quality, and trade-offs. - Proven experience on teams that build end-user product features , ideally developer tools, agent/AI products, CLIs, or other technical product surfaces. - Experience partnering closely with Product and Design to take features from idea to shipped, and incorporating customer feedback into the roadmap. - You have built something that agents or other programs call, not just something you used an agent to build. - Hands-on experience using and reasoning about coding agents, with strong opinions about what good looks like when humans and agents share a workflow. - Async-first communication skills and experience working in a globally distributed remote team. ## Compensation Your base salary is determined by the IC5 pay band for your location zone (1-4). The starting salary for the IC5 pay band in each zone is: - Zone 2: $192,000 USD - Zone 3: $144,000 USD ## Skills ### Required - Go - TypeScript - SvelteKit - React - GraphQL APIs - PostgreSQL - Docker - Kubernetes --- Source: [Apply at job-boards.greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/sourcegraph91/jobs/6194803004?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
