Overview
GitHub Notifications is the connective tissue of the developer workflow — delivering billions of signals every week across web, email, mobile, Slack, and Teams so developers never miss what matters. As we accelerate human-agent collaboration, these communication and coordination pipelines become even more critical.
As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you'll work on distributed systems that operate at massive scale and touch every GitHub user. You'll tackle challenges in event processing, data pipeline reliability, and real-time delivery — building the infrastructure that powers how humans and agents coordinate work. You'll also help shape how this layer evolves to support new collaboration patterns as AI agents become first-class participants in developer workflows.
