Overview

GitHub is changing the way the world builds software, and we want you to help We’re looking for a Staff level Software Engineer to join the Code Search team.

More of the world’s development data lives on GitHub than anywhere else. Helping developers navigate and understand that data is a core part of GitHub’s mission, and an area with significant potential we’ve only begun to realize. We have high aspirations for how we can help developers understand and navigate code, and for making collaboration more seamless. The foundation for these efforts is our highly scalable code search engine, which we are now expanding to help power semantic/vector search to better support many of GitHub’s AI experiences.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to be part of the team that’s reinventing the platform and infrastructure that millions of developers depend on for -- re-thinking everything from the experience to the system architecture supporting it. You will be involved in the design, rollout, and support of a highly performant, highly scalable and highly available search platform with your team. Code search, semantic search and AI are a complex, cutting edge problem space and you will help your senior team navigate uncertainty and make effective implementation tradeoff decisions, relying on careful reasoning and decision making around a significant infrastructure budget.

Together we are creating the tools and products that are integral to how people build software. We pride ourselves on being thoughtful, intentional, and productive. We value learning, introspection and reflection, and we’re always looking for ways to improve as a team and as individuals.

  • Work with the team to understand technical constraints, and develop, communicate, and track against realistic plans to consistently ship products, features, and bug fixes
  • Coordinate with engineering and product leadership to define and prioritize projects that help us meet business objectives

  • Support a highly available service used by millions of users on a daily basis
  • Help cultivate an environment where team members are empowered and demonstrate a strong sense of ownership and belonging
