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.

We’re 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. We’re 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.

Hours location

🌎 We hire almost anywhere in the world and we don’t have a location requirement for this role. However, the expected working hours for this position is 9:00am - 5:00pm EST.

That being said, we do not subscribe to “I do my best work when I work 40 hours a week.” People we hire at Sourcegraph believe that building outstanding things means working very hard — smarter and more hours than the competition.

View company profile

Modern software development teams are often confronted with the immense challenge of navigating and understanding vast, complex codebases. As projects grow, spanning multiple repositories, languages, and services, developers can spend a significant portion of their time simply trying to find relevant code, understand dependencies, and assess the impact of changes, rather than building new features. This friction slows down innovation, makes onboarding new engineers a lengthy process, and increases the risk of introducing bugs. Customers need a way to cut through this complexity and empower their developers to ship better software, faster. Sourcegraph was founded to address this exact problem, providing a universal code search and intelligence platform that acts as a GPS for any codebase.

Sourcegraph's platform provides developers with the tools they need to rapidly search, comprehend, and automate changes across their entire codebase. For engineering leaders, this means increased developer velocity, improved code quality, and a more streamlined onboarding experience for new hires. By giving developers the ability to find code examples, trace references, and understand the historical context of any piece of code, Sourcegraph helps teams resolve incidents quicker and manage large-scale refactors with confidence. With the integration of its AI coding assistant, Cody, Sourcegraph further enhances developer productivity by automating common tasks, answering code-related questions, and even writing new code. This allows customers to not only accelerate their development cycles but also to foster a culture of deeper code understanding and collaboration, ultimately enabling them to build more robust and innovative products for their own users.
