Who we are
Our mission at Sourcegraph is to make it so that everyone can code, not just ~0.1% of the population. Our code graph powers Cody, the most powerful and accurate code AI for writing, fixing, and maintaining code, as well as our Code Search product, helping devs explore their entire codebase and make large-scale migrations and security fixes. We’re building software that builds software, and in doing so we’re making devs more productive and growing the population of coders by giving anybody access to the deep knowledge base of a senior engineer through Cody and all of the context it brings. We’re preparing for a world with a lot more code than exists today, and that benefits us all.
It’s an exciting time to join Sourcegraph. AI has taken over the world, and we’ve spent the last 10 years building infrastructure that’s integral to making AI generated code more powerful and accurate. Our customers include 4/5 FAANG companies, 4 of the top 10 banks, government organizations, Uber, Plaid, and many other companies building the software that pushes the world forward. We’ve raised $225M at a $2.625B valuation from Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia, Redpoint, Craft and others. We’re making ambitious bets on our future and we’re looking to hire exceptional people to join our team as we make Sourcegraph one of the biggest and most influential companies in the world.
Working hours
🌎 Given that we are an all-remote company and hire almost anywhere in the world, we don’t have a location requirement for this role. However, your working hours must overlap with EST for at least 10 hours/week.
Why this job is exciting
At Sourcegraph, we see code syncing & storage, code search, and the code graph as big data challenges. We handle tasks like indexing multi-terabyte monorepos, querying and searching clusters of hundreds of thousands of repos, providing fast & high-quality ranking, and extracting a code graph which is used throughout our products.
As Engineering Manager, Platform, you’ll utilize both your leadership skills and technical acumen. You will be instrumental in propelling Sourcegraph’s Code Search product to become the “Google of Code Search”. You will help support Cody to become the top AI coding assistant. You will lead a team of high-agency, self-directed team mates and will have opportunities to dive in and be deeply technical yourself. You will report directly into the Head of Engineering - Search & Foundations.
Your deep experience in high-scale sharded-computation will help us define the scalability story for our source code syncing and search engine. Your experience in programming language tooling will help us extract a code graph that can be used to power a platform that drives everything from search and navigation to providing the best context for an LLM.

- Take responsibility for three distributed, FAANG-bar teams, roughly nine engineers, and lead them as a front-line manager. Your organization will grow as the company grows.
- Work closely with other Engineering department heads on cross-functional initiatives that touch Code Search and Cody.
📅 Within three months, you will…
- Identify any gaps you see in the Engineering org and help address them in an appropriate way, bringing prior experience to bear in recommending and driving solutions.
- Build a variety of systems, many of which are systems that you yourself may already know we need, and are not listed here. A few examples include:
- a hybrid search architecture which combines modern ML and traditional search techniques for natural language search
- extending our code graph to cover an ever growing set of languages with every easier configuration
- a scalable system for syncing any type of data relevant for Cody or Code Search data
📅 Within six months, you will…
- Champion customer engagement in all phases of design, development and deployment.
📅 Within one year, you will…
- Have hired and retained exceptional people to make our team even more representative of the world’s population.
- Collaborate with product and engineering leadership to develop the next set of ambitious goals that your org should work towards.
- Develop a clear technical and execution strategy to achieve that next set of goals.
