Job description

Source Code Integration enables Product teams at the company to develop features that leverage our customers’ source code. This brings the platform closer to developers, as it helps them relate their telemetry to code to run automated investigations, debug their services with stack traces and profiles, scan their code for security issues, or make proactive fixes, among others. The team owns all the platform services, infrastructure and integrations required to access and synchronize our customer repositories in a secure, reliable and efficient manner.

We are looking for a hands‑on technical leader to drive the growth of our platform, as the company shifts left and becomes more developer‑friendly and AI‑ready. In this role you will lead the growth of our platform to support an increasing number of high profile features and teams, and work with a team of engineers of varied experience levels to shape our roadmap and deliver impactful solutions at scale.

• Run a lightweight process to pace and track what we work on. Support the progressive delivery of high quality work through demos and frequent iteration

• Stay in touch with your team’s systems, and roll up your sleeves when needed to unblock your team by writing code or troubleshooting issues

• Support both internal and external customers resolve their issues, and find systematic solutions that elevate our platform and integration experience

What we’re looking for:

• A good collaborator, an enabler, a natural leader that puts people first

• A backend engineer at heart, with experience building robust systems composed of multiple services, data streams and stores operating at scale

• Significant experience with major backend technologies (e.g. Go, Python, or Java, PostgreSQL, Kafka), event driven architecture and or distributed systems

• Experience running platform services, comfortable making tradeoffs and balancing short term impact with long term sustainability. Proven ability to work closely with product and internal teams to deliver solutions at scale

• Passion to work in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment providing leadership and direction for a highly technical team

• Positivity and proactivity towards AI. Experience using agentic tools for development and analysis

Benefits and Growth:

• High income earning opportunities based on individual performance

• New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)

• Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing

• Sales training in MEDDIC and Command of the Message

• Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in‑house networking

• An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (the company employee resource groups)

• Access to Inclusion Talks, our Internal panel discussions
