Why this job is exciting

Imagine being part of a team where your work will redefine the coding experience for developers around the world. As a Software Engineer on the Cody Core team, you will have the opportunity to interface directly with customers and their analytics needs and have a key voice in making data-driven product decisions. This role offers a unique opportunity to innovate and build cutting-edge customer analytics products as well as internal business and operational metrics. You'll have the chance to see your contributions directly impact developers, enhancing their productivity and transforming how they interact with their code.

  • Familiarize yourself with Cody, understanding the architecture and the problems it solves for our users.
  • Ramp up on our current operational processes and frameworks.
  • Ramp up on our existing internal and external analytics offerings.
  • Start contributing to our current focus areas by working on tasks such as adding end-to-end tests to validate the accuracy of our metrics, cleaning up and de-duplicating stale metrics or logging code, or improving our customer-facing analytics products.
  • Engage with your team members, learning from their experiences and sharing your insights to contribute to the project's direction.

Within three months, you will…

  • Drive and prioritize the differentiating metrics for our customers and users. Partner closely with Operations and Product to build our metrics strategy. Begin suggesting and implementing improvements to our data logging and metrics product code.
  • Propose and implement stability and performance improvements around our release and production processes.

  • Have built and advanced our metrics offerings, having visible impact on our customers.
  • Establish yourself as a key contributor to the team, known for your analytics expertise on both the technical and product aspects of our work.
  • Influence the direction of the company’s analytics best practices.
About you

You bring a product mindset in balancing architectural flexibility and philosophy with meeting immediate customer demand. You are an experienced software engineer who looks to solve problems through writing code rather than one-off operations. You are passionate about user experience and self-service. You balance maintaining and designing high-impact systems with a pragmatic understanding of how to make appropriate tradeoffs (e.g., cut scope, low-tech vs. custom complex solutions) to ship quickly and iterate when necessary.

Qualifications:

  • Proficiency in Typescript and Go.
  • Proficiency in SQL, or other data analysis languages.
  • Experience with Looker, Amplitude, or other similar data visualization or BI tools.
  • Knowledge in one of the public cloud platform providers (GCP, AWS, Azure)
  • Experience with Terraform (or similar IaC solutions) and Kubernetes to build tooling and automation.
  • Skilled at designing and debugging systems full-stack. This means you should know your way around various OS-level primitives, e.g., network, CPU, and memory.
  • Ability to communicate clearly and empathetically, especially in writing and documentation.

Nice to haves:

  • Built services and exposed them as API for external consumption (e.g., gRPC).
  • Experience writing extensions for one or more of the following: Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs, Visual Studio, or Eclipse.
  • Familiarity with compilers, language server protocols, code intelligence, or related technologies.
  • Experience working closely with Product and Design teams.
  • Previous role in a startup environment, comfortable with rapid iteration and adaptable to shifting priorities.
  • Comfortable implementing system-level software (e.g., custom transport protocol) if needed or has contributed to Kubernetes controllers/operators.
  • Experience working on small high-performing teams.
