Requirements

• 9+ years experience in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical discipline with proven experience in coding languages such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Go, Ruby, or Python.

What You'll Be Doing

• Provide technical leadership for systems that help AI agents acquire, interpret, retain, and apply relevant software-development context.
• Design, prototype, implement, test, ship, and operate high-quality technical solutions that scale across GitHub services and Copilot experiences.
• Develop platform capabilities and APIs for context retrieval, sessions, memory, agent customization, evaluation, and feedback-driven improvement.
• Turn ambiguous customer and product opportunities into clear technical strategies, architecture proposals, experiments, and executable roadmaps.
• Work at the frontier of how software gets built with agents and evolve workflows that make the whole team faster.
• Partner with product managers, designers, researchers, data scientists, and engineers across GitHub to connect capabilities into coherent end-to-end experiences.
• Establish evaluation methods, telemetry, and learning loops that measure agent quality, efficiency, reliability, and customer outcomes.
• Make thoughtful tradeoffs across capability, latency, cost, privacy, security, reliability, and developer experience.
• Own and advocate for the health and quality of the systems the team builds, including participating in first-responder on-call rotations and live incidents where applicable.
• Apply debugging tools, operational data, and structured experimentation to verify assumptions, identify bottlenecks, and improve system performance and maintainability.
• Provide mentorship, pairing opportunities, design and code reviews, and technical guidance that help engineers and teams grow.
• Help cultivate an inclusive environment where people are empowered, have clear ownership, and can do their best work.
• Drive executional and operational excellence within the team and influence engineering practices across organizational boundaries.
