Job Description
Who we are
Our mission at Sourcegraph is to make it so that everyone can code, not just ~0.1% of the population.
Everything is changing in how software gets built, and Sourcegraph builds tools that make it easier at scale. Code Search helps devs explore and understand massive codebases. Amp, our agentic coding tool, dramatically accelerates the time it takes to write new code and tackle complex problems like migrating and transforming code.
Weâre trusted by engineering teams at leading companies like Stripe, Uber, and Palo Alto Networks, and with $225M in funding from investors like a16z, Sequoia, and Redpoint, we are building the tools that will define the next era of enterprise software development. Weâre a globally distributed team with a culture of high agency, direct communication, and deep love for developers.
If you want to work at the bleeding edge of software and do the most meaningful work of your career, join us.
