Overview
GitHub Copilot is redefining how the world builds software — and Copilot Chat on GitHub.com is where that experience comes to life for millions of developers every day. We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer who combines deep software engineering craft with hands-on applied AI expertise to help shape what that experience becomes.
In this role, you’ll work at the intersection of large language models and production systems — designing and building intelligent, context-aware features that integrate directly into developer workflows at global scale. You’ll drive technical direction for your team, partner closely with product and engineering leadership, and bring the kind of judgment that turns ambiguous AI capabilities into reliable, high-impact product experiences.
