Everything is changing in how software gets built, and Sourcegraph is at the center of that transformation. With Code Search, Deep Search, and MCP, Sourcegraph is the world’s most powerful code intelligence platform that developers and agents rely on to navigate, understand, and operate on massive, complex codebases with speed and confidence.
Teams at companies like Stripe, Uber, and Dropbox rely on Sourcegraph to ship faster and with higher quality. We’re backed by a16z, Sequoia, and Redpoint, and proud to operate as a globally distributed team that values high agency, direct communication, and a deep love for developers and their craft.
If you want to contribute to infrastructure that empowers millions of developers to do their best work - join us.
🌎 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 EST for at least 20 hours/week.
Precise code intelligence is the deterministic ground truth foundational to how the world's most important companies understand their code, and we intend to make it the bedrock for how their AI agents do, too. It is powered by SCIP, the open, language-agnostic protocol for indexing source code that enables go-to-definition, find-references, go-to-implementation, hover documentation, and dependency analysis across repository and language boundaries. SCIP is already emitted by an ecosystem of indexers spanning every major language and consumed by tools well beyond Sourcegraph, Mozilla's Searchfox, rust-analyzer, and Meta's Glean among them.
This is a senior to staff-level role that is equal parts compiler engineering and open-source leadership. Your well-honed compiler and language skills will be put to good use growing SCIP into a thriving, self-sustaining, multi-party open standard. As the deeply technical steward of the SCIP community (https://scip-code.org), you'll be shaping governance and the roadmap by owning the protocol with its indexer ecosystem, reviewing and mentoring contributors, setting the bar for quality, driving alignment across organizations like Meta, Uber, Mozilla, and Stripe who already run these indexers in production, and helping to set Sourcegraph's product direction for code intel. Your compiler and language expertise is what earns you the credibility to lead that community and make the right calls about the protocol's evolution; your judgment about which problems are worth solving will make you a force multiplier across the company.
You'll do this on a small, high-leverage team where you own a wide surface area and have real agency over technical direction. You will become the person the company, our customers, and the broader industry look to as the authority on precise code intelligence. We take a product-in, not technology-out view: precision is non-negotiable, but we pick the best implementation that delivers the behavior customers actually need. And we are unapologetically AI-forward: we believe precise code intelligence is one of the most valuable substrates for making AI agents measurably better, and you'll define what that looks like, from AI-assisted indexer setup to grounding agents in verifiable facts about code.
You are a senior to staff-level open-source standard-bearer with credible compiler and language fluency. You're energized by growing a community and a standard, not just shipping your own commits, and you have enough language and compiler depth to be taken seriously by the people who build indexers and compilers for a living.
