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
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

- 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 democratising access to code review and developer tooling typically only available to engineers at big tech companies. Where Facebook and Google have Phabricator and Critique respectively, all developers can access Graphite’s open source command line interface and dashboard for streamlining code review.
Graphite dramatically improves engineering team efficiency with unique features. For example, where code reviews are traditionally conducted linearly (code is committed then reviewed), Graphite is concurrent, letting engineers continue with their work, even while that original piece is being reviewed, a process that is much more efficient.
Graphite is now regularly rolling out performance improvements and introducing additional layers of polish. Its ultimate aim is to expand its user base to tens of thousands of engineers.
With top-tier backing and buy-in from thousands of engineers, Graphite will hope that its momentum can carry it through to reach even the most corporate and backward looking engineering teams.
