About the company
What is Sourcegraph?
Sourcegraph is a code intelligence platform and AI coding assistant that lets developers search across every line of code their organisation ships — then understand it, refactor it, and automate large-scale changes with confidence.
At the heart of the platform is Cody, Sourcegraph's AI coding assistant, which combines deep codebase context with the latest large language models to give engineers answers and suggestions grounded in their actual code. Trusted by engineering teams at Uber, Indeed, Cloudflare, Lyft, and many others.
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Francisco, Sourcegraph has been named a Fast Company Next Big Things in Tech honouree — recognition for both its technical innovation and the way it operates as a company.
Where you'll work
Remote-first, from day one
Sourcegraph has operated as a fully remote-first company since its founding. There's no default office to default to — the entire team is distributed across the US, Europe, Latin America, and beyond, and the company is built to support that structure at every level.
Unlike many companies that bolted remote onto an office culture, Sourcegraph's processes, communication, and tooling were designed for async collaboration from the start.
Work-life balance
Unlimited PTO — with a 30-day floor
Unlimited PTO with a 30-day minimum
Sourcegraph's time-off policy doesn't just say "take time when you need it" and hope for the best. A mandatory 30-day minimum ensures employees genuinely disconnect and recharge — one of the most employee-friendly PTO policies in the technology sector.
Sourcegraph's work-life balance score of 60 (Good) reflects a culture that actively supports downtime. The company monitors whether people are actually taking leave and treats it as an operational metric — not a perk to be quietly ignored.
Perks & benefits
A comprehensive benefits package
Sourcegraph's total compensation package goes well beyond salary and equity.
Team culture
An award-winning place to work
Sourcegraph is Great Place to Work certified for both 2024 and 2025. That 89% employee satisfaction figure sits more than 30 percentage points above the 57% US tech benchmark — a meaningful signal, not just a badge.
The team is mid-sized (51–200 people), which means engineers and other contributors have real ownership over their work without the bureaucracy of a large enterprise. Leadership has also been recognised by Fast Company's Next Big Things in Tech for building something genuinely innovative in the developer tooling space.
