Overview

The Code and Review organization owns GitHub’s core code collaboration experience — from navigating code and creating pull requests through reviewing changes and merging them safely at scale. We build the user experiences, platform systems, and AI-powered capabilities behind diffs, comments, reviews, mergeability, merge queue, and Copilot code review, helping developers collaborate effectively and ship high-quality code.

We are looking for creative problem solvers and diverse thinkers, people who care about culture as well as customers and features. We believe that how we do things is as important as what we do. Big vision, a common purpose, passion for quality, curiosity, dedication, and investment in fun and collaboration are what lead to great results. Great products reflect the teams that build them. Responsibilities: * Design, develop, test and ship high-quality technical solutions that scale across multiple GitHub services and become intimately familiar with the systems you build and take pride in writing maintainable code. * Provide technical leadership, mentorship, pairing opportunities, and code reviews to encourage the growth of others; support teams in producing extensible and maintainable code, ensuring integration with downstream dependencies and adherence to quality standards. * Own and advocate for the health and quality of the systems that the team builds, including participating in on-call for first responder rotations and live incidents. * Write architecture briefs and proposals and carry out code experiments. * Design and implement APIs
