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

🌎 While we hire almost anywhere in the world and we don’t have a location requirement for this role, we have office hubs in San Francisco and Denver and prefer candidates in those locations so that they can work from the office several days per week. Regardless of your location, the expected working hours for this position is 9:00am - 5:00pm PST.

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 are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
