Job description

Overview

We're looking for passionate engineers who are excited to make a big impact in a small team.

We believe there is a better way: we're building AI bots that automatically maintain software through a combination of static analysis, our own query language, and machine learning.

Why you should join us

• Build a meaningful product to solve a tangible problem for companies.
• Ownership in all senses of the word: significant equity upside, direct impact on product vision, and contact with users.
• Solve your own problems. We dogfood our own product and you can build the ideal developer experience as you work.
• Explore frontiers in programming languages and machine learning.
• We have a long runway and can offer a competitive base salary ($150-250k).

What is the day-to-day routine?

We are all makers and leave lots of protected time for deep work. Most engineers have a maximum of 3 meetings a week and spend most of the time researching and coding.

Instead of having stand-ups, we have a strong culture of committing work in progress (supported by feature flags). Every engineer is expected to push a daily pull request with their incremental progress.

We are building for developers, so everyone on the team is encouraged to cultivate their own product sense and suggest feature directions. We don't have any product managers and most engineers are in multiple shared Slack channels with our customers.

Candidate requirements

Minimum requirements a candidate must meet

• Execution-driven mindset: you love shipping.
• Previous experience building internal engineering tools or developer products is a plus.
• Comfortable working in low-structure environments and navigating unknown unknowns.
• 2+ years of experience as a software developer or SRE, with experience working on distributed systems.
