Company mission
To create products and workflows that help fast-moving teams achieve more.
Role
Who you are
- Industry experience building high-quality software products
- An ability to identify problems, build alignment, and implement solutions autonomously
- Comfortable working with and designing abstractions and frameworks which increase developer velocity
- As a team, we're very aware of the systemic structural issues that have created inequalities for many communities, especially in the tech industry. We recognize that women and underrepresented minorities are statistically less likely to apply for a role that they feel unqualified for. If you are interested in this role but you’re concerned about not meeting all requirements, we encourage you to apply anyway - we'd love to get to know you and see if there's a place for you here at Graphite!
What the job involves
- Graphite is growing rapidly, and we're looking for a senior software engineer to help us define the company’s technical direction. This person will work up and down our stack and propose and lead new projects
- Work with us to build a real-time, collaborative code review platform with social features
- Help us to define the technical direction of the company
- Mentor other engineers and architect frameworks to help us build a codebase that scales
- Architect new features around code understanding, CI/CD pipelines, and more
Our take
Graphite is making advanced code review and developer tools accessible to a wider range of engineers, breaking down the barriers that typically limit such resources to teams at large companies. While industry giants like Facebook and Google use tools like Phabricator and Critique, Graphite offers open-source solutions with a command-line interface and dashboard, empowering developers of all sizes to streamline their code review processes.
What sets Graphite apart is its ability to dramatically enhance engineering team efficiency with innovative features. Unlike traditional linear code review processes - where code is committed and then reviewed - Graphite allows for concurrent reviews. This enables engineers to continue working on other tasks while their code is being reviewed, leading to a much more productive workflow.
As the company continues to roll out regular performance improvements and refine its features, it has continued to expand its user base. With strong support and a growing community of users, Graphite has gained traction across even the most traditional engineering teams, and in late 2025 was acquired by AI coding assistant Cursor.
