Software affects everything and everyone, yet only a small subset of the population can build it today. Our long-term vision at Sourcegraph is to make it so everyone codes, giving everyone the power to influence the world.

Today, that starts with professional devs. It's the developers building and refining code who push the world forward. Our customers are the unsung heroes who make systems faster or cheaper for billions of people, day after day, week after week. We salute these developers, and we've built something they really love.

We've been building dev tools for much longer than dev tools has been a trendy or hyped investment space. That reflects our long-term commitment to fulfilling our vision.

Because of that, we're in a unique position. We're an established company with over a decade of experience and substantial ARR, delivering great dev experiences into codebases small and large—including the largest codebases in the world where the vast majority of developer-hours are spent. At the same time, with Cody, we're at the forefront of the most competitive and exciting AI-powered developer tools space. This duality defines our culture: we combine the stability and expertise of an established company with the agility and innovation of a startup.

Few other companies can claim our track record while maintaining our ability to innovate and pivot with the rapid pace of advancement in the field. Riding the leading edge of innovation while delivering an excellent experience into large enterprises is a unique skillset, and doing both well has required us to develop a unique culture. This culture is not for everyone, but we've found that it enables a special type of person to thrive and do their life's best work.

Here's what you can expect as part of the Sourcegraph team:

• Things move fast and change often: We move quickly and adapt swiftly. In the rapidly evolving world of AI and dev tools, we iterate fast and ship often. You'll need to think on your feet and be comfortable with change. We seek out high-performing individuals who excel in dynamic, fast-paced environments and we value those who can navigate ambiguity, take initiative without constant oversight, and turn uncertainty into opportunity.
• We’re hands-on and results-oriented: Everyone at Sourcegraph cares deeply about what we do and how it affects our users and customers. This means you'll see our co-founders coding, you'll get feedback on projects from people outside your immediate team, and we expect you to be an active contributor and speak up if you see ways we can improve. We do whatever it takes to get things done (including working late nights and weekends when necessary). No job is too big or too small, regardless of your role, because we’re all focused on delivering tangible results that move the needle for our company and our customers.
• We’re ambitious: Our goal is to become the indispensable tool for every dev on the planet. We tackle complex challenges head-on and constantly push the boundaries of what's possible. We expect everyone, regardless of role, to bring their A-game and to never settle for "good enough". We're here to build the most impactful company in our space, and that requires our team members to reach the pinnacle of their field.

Now, let's dive into our core values and how they shape our day-to-day work and decision making. (Read more about our Mission & values here).

❤️ Dev love

Everything we do is ultimately for devs (anyone who codes). Every dollar we earn comes from devs trying, using, loving, fighting for, and sharing our product. All Sourcegraph teammates code to better understand our users and customers and to do their jobs better (in ways that make sense for their role). Our long-term mission is to make it so everyone codes, not just the 0.1% of the population who are devs today.

In action:

• We regularly engage with our user community, seeking feedback and insights to drive our product development.
• Our team members, from engineers to marketers, actively participate in coding projects to better understand the developer experience.
• We dogfood our own product constantly to build empathy with our users and so that we know we're building a product that solves the right problems.
• We host hackathons, contribute to open-source projects, and maintain a bustling community of pro devs so we’re always connected to the things they care about most.
