Why this job is exciting
Joining our PLG team at Sourcegraph now means bringing the forefront of the coding revolution to new customers. Our mission is to make coding accessible to everyone, and we're pioneering this journey with Cody, our AI coding assistant, at the helm. Traditionally sales-led, we’ve shifted gears towards a product-led growth (PLG) strategy for Cody just about six months ago—a move that has opened up exciting new frontiers for innovation and engagement. Our team is at the heart of this transformation, currently focusing on integrating a “teams and invites” functionality into our PLG platform to enhance collaboration and UX.
This role is not just another job; it's a chance to be part of something genuinely transformative. Cody is not just software; it's the future of coding, acting as a senior engineer sidekick on every developer's side. By joining us, you'll contribute directly to a tool that will not only increase productivity but also democratize coding skills across the globe. The PLG model presents unique challenges and learning opportunities, especially in understanding user behavior and optimizing the product journey—work that's vital for our next growth phase.
As a key player in a small yet impactful team, you'll be working alongside two senior engineers, absorbing a wealth of knowledge and contributing your own expertise to the mix. Your work will directly influence the ease with which new users can integrate into our platform, shaping the future of Sourcegraph through Cody and our PLG strategy. This role is perfect for those who thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, are eager to learn, and have a passion for making a real impact on the way the world codes.
Your curiosity, proactive nature, and willingness to dive into both front-end and back-end challenges will make you an invaluable asset to our team. With every line of code, you’ll be paving the way for the next generation of developers, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed.
