We are doubling down on our core Search technology for the AI era, including Deep Search (agentic, natural language search), Sourcegraph MCP and API for agents (powering coding agents to search across and build context on the largest codebases in the world), and critical code migration and workflow engines, like Batch Changes (large scale code migrations) and Code Monitors (code change-driven workflows). You will be responsible for the technical product marketing and brand marketing that will bring that story to life in the market, as well as ensuring alignment with and results from our Demand Gen and DevRel teams.
