Location

This role is based in our San Francisco headquarters. However, please note that this position requires extensive travel, typically up to 80% of the time (Monday-Thursday) for on-site customer engagements. When not traveling, you'll work from our SF office.

Why this job is exciting

As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at Sourcegraph, you’ll report directly to our CEO and work with the most successful and sophisticated software companies in the world (our customers) to build code AI capabilities that all of their devs love and use. Your code will be informed by what our biggest customers need and will ship to all customers and users, so you must have exacting standards. You’ll be working directly with our biggest customers, so you need to know how to work with engineering leaders and developers, pitch and sell, and react on the fly. You’ll learn and do more in your first 6 months of being an FDE here than you will anywhere else.

Within one month, you will…
  • Get intimately familiar with our entire tech stack and product feature set.
  • Shadow experienced team members FDE, Engineering, and Technical Success to learn about customer engagements.
  • Learn how to pitch our product and familiarize yourself with our go-to-market motion to understand how FDEs fit into the larger customer success strategy.
  • Get deployed to your first customer to lead an engagement from end-to-end.
Within six months, you will…
  • Work with our largest and most sophisticated customers, building new capabilities and improving existing capabilities in our product.
  • Identify and capitalize on new opportunities across all of our customers.
  • Contribute to the refinement and scaling of the FDE program based on your experiences.
  • Become a go-to expert for complex customer integrations and technical challenges.
  • Grow our customers' love for Sourcegraph.
About you

You are a driven engineer who thrives with customers, loves working with cutting-edge technology, and is excited about shaping the future of developer tools:

  • You're passionate about developer tools and solving complex technical challenges.
  • You excel in fast-paced, changing environments and enjoy working directly with customers.
  • You're comfortable balancing technical work with relationship building and strategic thinking.
  • You're excited about the prospect of frequent travel and intense on-site engagements.
  • You're eager to learn and adapt to diverse technologies and business environments.
  • You enjoy the idea of having a direct impact on product development and company growth.
  • You have a strong software engineering background with hands-on coding experience.
  • You possess excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think on your feet.
  • You have strong communication skills, both technical and non-technical.
  • You have experience with developer tools, code search, and AI-assisted coding.
Level

This job is an IC1-IC5 role. We are open to candidates at various experience levels, but this is a highly demanding role that requires a lot of autonomy and high agency. You’ll be interacting with some of the world’s most powerful and influential technical leaders.
