Job Details

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 a16zSequoia, 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

🌎 While we hire almost anywhere in the world, we have office hubs in select locations and expect this person to reside in San Francisco to be able to work from one of our office locations for several days per week.

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.

  • Code and prototype often, talk to users and customers often, and build a team that loves doing the same
  • Be comfortable creating an intensely high degree of perfection in 50% of your team’s work - and know which 50% that is

About you

  • You've led a Design team at an exceptional company that sells to enterprises (with ~$50m+ ARR).
