Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design and evolve the systems powering GitHub's pull request and code review experience for millions of developers. Provide technical leadership and mentorship while integrating AI agents into the software development lifecycle.
Requires extensive professional experience (up to 9+ years depending on degree) in software engineering with a focus on large-scale web applications. Proficiency in multiple programming languages and a track record of leading cross-team technical initiatives are essential.
As a Staff Software Engineer on the Code and Review team, you will shape the pull request and code review experience used by over 100 million developers. Pull requests are the beating heart of collaboration on GitHub — where ideas become code, feedback drives quality, and teams ship with confidence.
You will design, build, and evolve the systems behind pull request creation, code review, the Files Changed experience, and the automation and integration workflows that power modern development. We’re looking for engineers who combine deep technical skill with product empathy — people who care about craft and understand that great developer tools reflect the teams that build them.
Agent-driven software development is changing how code is written, reviewed, and shipped. As AI agents become first-class participants in the development lifecycle, the pull request experience must evolve to support new collaboration patterns between humans and machines. You’ll help define what that future looks like.
This is a fully remote role. Our distributed team values async communication, deep work, and trust-based collaboration.
Design, develop, test and ship high-quality solutions that scale across GitHub’s services, with a focus on the pull request and code review workflow. Take pride in writing maintainable code and becoming deeply familiar with the systems you build.
Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and code reviews that elevate the team; support others in producing extensible, maintainable code that integrates cleanly with downstream dependencies.
Own the health and quality of the systems the team builds, including participating in on-call rotations and live incident response.
Contribute across the full pull request product surface — PR creation, code review, merge workflows, and the Files Changed experience — owning features end-to-end from design through delivery.
Help evolve the code review and merge experience to support agent-driven development, where AI-authored code must be reviewed, validated, and shipped with the same rigor as human-authored contributions.
Write architecture briefs and proposals; carry out code experiments to validate approaches for improving the pull request experience.
Collaborate with product, design, and platform engineering to lead technical discussions, including design trade-offs and cost considerations.
Guide teams in developing testing strategies, defining success metrics, and integrating customer feedback — while ensuring architecture meets security and compliance standards.
Drive the technical roadmap for pull requests and code review, ensuring engineering efforts are strategically prioritized and incorporate new technologies where applicable.
Experience with Ruby on Rails, React, TypeScript, or Go in production, and comfort working full-stack from database to browser.
Deep familiarity with Git internals, diff algorithms, or code review tooling — as a contributor or a power user who understands the domain deeply.
Experience building developer tools, productivity platforms, or collaboration software where user empathy and workflow design are critical.
Experience in large-scale monolith codebases with a track record of incremental modernization that balances stability with velocity.
Interest in or experience with AI-assisted development workflows — how LLMs and autonomous agents are changing code authorship, review, and the SDLC.
Passion for developer experience — you’ve contributed to open source, shaped internal tooling, or built products that make other engineers more effective.
