Job Description
We’re looking for a Founding Engineer to join us in San Francisco.
What you’ll do
You’ll be joining us as our second engineering hire and will be a member of the founding team. You’ll work on shipping major features from start to finish and will play a critical role in the future of Sourcebot.
You’ll own the design and development of new functionality through the entire process of speaking with users, architecting an implementation, shipping it, and getting feedback from engineering teams. Areas that you’ll be working on include:
- Building core code indexing pipelines that scale across thousands of repositories
- Building agents that can retrieve and summarize context from millions of lines of code
- Meeting with enterprise teams at the cutting edge to learn about and solve their problems
- Building a world class developer tool experience used by thousands of engineers
Within the first few weeks of joining you’ll be able to solve real problems that will be released to engineering teams around the world.
What we’re looking for
We’re a small highly technical team that moves fast. We care deeply about the work we do, and we’re looking for someone who does as well. We’re looking for people who care about the craft of building software and shipping products that they’re proud of.
We’re not looking for experience in a specific tech stack. The entire team comes from the video game industry. Before starting Sourcebot, most us were shipping low-level C++ and building 3d graphics and network engines. We recognize that the most important quality of an engineer is strong foundational knowledge and the ability to solve hard problems.
Interview Process
- Intro call with Michael (30 mins). Quick intro call to get to know each other and see if it’s a right fit
- Technical Interviews (1-2 30 min interviews).
- Paid In-Person Work trial (1-5 days)

About Sourcebot
Sourcebot is an open source code understanding platform for massive codebases. We’re used by thousands of engineers in some of the largest companies in the world, including NVIDIA, Red Hat, Wikimedia, and Arista Networks. Understanding code, not writing it, is the primary bottleneck for large engineering teams. For developers, this means onboarding onto complex codebases faster. For AI agents, it means getting the necessary code context to minimize hallucinations and maximize cohesion within the wider codebase. Sourcebot solves this by giving developers and AI agents the ability to regex search across millions of lines of code instantly, as well as ask questions across thousands of repos using any flagship reasoning model. Being open source and on-prem, we can get deployed in enterprises within minutes before other tools even get approval. We met a decade ago at McGill University and have been building together full time for over 2 years. We’ve personally felt the pain of understanding large codebases while working at Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Google, and Meta.
