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. 

We are transforming how the world’s most important companies build software by industrializing development with AI. Today, most professional developers spend a disproportionate amount of time understanding code and performing repetitive, low-level tasks—leaving less time for innovation and meaningful impact.

We’re changing that. Sourcegraph brings AI-powered search and agents to the enterprise, helping teams automate the mundane and amplify what developers do best— solving hard problems and creating great products.

Here’s how we’re making a difference:

  • Accelerating developers with AI agents that deliver insights and precision—enabling 5x faster test creation, 30% increase in merge requests, and saving 20 minutes per developer daily.
  • Automating repetitive tasks, from remediating vulnerabilities (saving teams 1,000+ hours annually) to speeding up migrations that would take years to months. 
  • Enabling innovation by addressing complex problems like automated bug triage, vulnerability detection, and AI-driven code reviews seamlessly integrated into workflows.

Trusted by 7/10 top software companies by market cap, 4/6 top US banks and many of the companies leading global innovation, like Stripe, Indeed, Tesla, and 1Password, 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.

If you’re passionate about solving the hardest problems in software and shaping the future of technology, join us. Let’s build something extraordinary together.

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.

Why this job is exciting 

As part of the Technical Success organization, Support Engineering  is at the forefront of the customer experience. Our customers simply wouldn’t be successful, happy, long term customers without the important work this team does! Support Engineering  exists to not only resolve technical issues but educate our customers by answering reactive questions, and by importantly identifying improvements we can make to help improve the product. Our customers are developers and we help them throughout their customer journey. 

Within one month you will…

  • Learn about our product, our value propositions, our customers, our team, and our practices.
  • Learn how Sourcegraph is deployed (e.g., Kubernetes, scaling, and more), product configuration and integrations, our code base, and common user needs.
  • Meet for an initial chat with the teammates you will work with most

  • Suggest (and take responsibility for) improvements for team onboarding and ongoing enablement, improving the customer experience, and/or improving the product

About you

You are curious and compassionate. You are a problem solver - you love the moment where you “figure it out”. You enjoy trying new technologies, breaking them and helping fix them. You want to be part of a technical organization while talking with customers.

  • Profound curiosity to figure out why something works the way it does / to learn more
  • Working experience with Unix/Linux and/or Bash
  • Working experience with Kubernetes containerized solutions
  • Working experience with code hosts such as GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket
  • Strong understanding of databases, especially SQL 
  • Compassion to meet our customers (who are all developers themselves) where they are, understand their issues, and be compelled to action
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to solve difficult problems for customers
  • Proficiency in communicating complex technical ideas and decisions to a variety of audiences (both technical and non-technical)
  • Some experience using Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI tooling,  and how they work
  • 3+ years experience in a similar role

Nice to have

  • Foundational knowledge of APIs and/or Git
  • Foundational knowledge of cloud computing with AWS, GCP or Azure DevOps
  • Experience writing code in Go or another language
  • Basic knowledge of or experience with Perforce
  • Basic understanding of AI tools and how developers use them
