Overview

GitHub is changing the way the world builds software, and we want you to help We're looking for a Staff level Software Engineer to join the Code Search team.

More of the world's development data lives on GitHub than anywhere else. Helping developers navigate and understand that data is a core part of GitHub's mission, and an area with significant potential we've only begun to realize. We have high aspirations for how we can help developers understand and navigate code, and for making collaboration more seamless. The foundation for these efforts is our highly scalable code search engine, which we are now expanding to help power semantic/vector search to better support many of GitHub's AI experiences.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to be part of the team that's reinventing the platform and infrastructure that millions of developers depend on for -- re-thinking everything from the experience to the system architecture supporting it. You will be involved in the design, rollout, and support of a highly performant, highly scalable and highly available search platform with your team. Code search, semantic search and AI are a complex, cutting edge problem space and you will help your senior team navigate uncertainty and make effective implementation tradeoff decisions, relying on careful reasoning and decision making around a significant infrastructure budget.

Together we are creating the tools and products that are integral to how people build software. We pride ourselves on being thoughtful, intentional, and productive. We value learning, introspection and reflection, and we're always looking for ways to improve as a team and as individuals.


Responsibilities

Work with the team to understand technical constraints, and develop, communicate, and track against realistic plans to consistently ship products, features, and bug fixes
Coordinate with engineering and product leadership to define and prioritize projects that help us meet business objectives
Ensure the team builds software that is architecturally consistent and of high quality to reliably meet customer needs
Support a highly available service used by millions of users on a daily basis
Help cultivate an environment where team members are empowered and demonstrate a strong sense of ownership and belonging
Help ensure that individuals on the team are learning, growing and advancing in their respective careers
Mentor, pair, and delegate work to encourage the professional and technical growth of your team and those around you

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

Proficiency in Rust, C or C++ and proficiency in systems programming, search index internals and information retrieval
6+ years experience designing, building, scaling and maintaining large-scale distributed systems
4+ years experience designing and implementing data structures and algorithms
Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience effectively contributing to technical strategy and roadmaps
Passionate about fostering good engineering practices and processes
Solid understanding of testing principles and high quality software
Understanding of production system monitoring and observability
Troubleshooting skills across network, application, caching, queuing, load-balancing, storage and distributed services layers.
Excellent analytical skills as well as communication skills both verbal and written. We're a distributed team so we're extra mindful about communication.
Strong customer focus and data driven approach

Compensation Range

The base salary range for this job is USD $118, USD $313,300.00 /Yr.
