Overview
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.
