Overview
GitHub Copilot is redefining how the world builds software — empowering millions of developers to move faster, think bigger, and focus on what matters most. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help shape the future of Copilot Chat on GitHub.com and advance the next generation of AI-powered developer tools.
On this team, you’ll build intelligent, context-aware experiences that integrate directly into the workflows developers use every day. You’ll partner with engineers, product managers, and designers across GitHub to transform cutting-edge AI into reliable, high-impact capabilities at global scale.
Just as important as what we build is how we build it. We value thoughtful collaboration, strong technical craftsmanship, and a culture of ownership and continuous learning. We believe diverse perspectives make better products, and we create space for curiosity, experimentation, and healthy debate. Great software reflects the teams behind it — and we’re intentional about building a team that’s inclusive, supportive, and energized by shared purpose.
