Role summary
Greptile is seeking a Staff Generalist Engineer to solve complex problems related to AI code review, LLM memory, codebase indexing, and semantic search. The role involves designing, implementing, testing, and deploying features, gathering user feedback, leading cross-team initiatives, setting architectural direction, and building platforms and infrastructure. Responsibilities also include proactively managing risks related to scaling, incidents, security, and compliance. The ideal candidate has a B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent, 6+ years of software or DevOps engineering experience, and proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript. This is an onsite role for a high-growth company.
Staff Generalist Engineer
Greptile is an AI code reviewer that catches bugs and anti-patterns in pull requests with complete context of the codebase. Hundreds of top software companies, from YC startups to big tech, and teams in finance, healthcare, and defense, use Greptile to merge PRs faster and catch more bugs.
Greptile reviews 5B lines of code every month for 22,000+ customers. A new repo starts using Greptile every 2 minutes. We also uniquely offer self-hosted, air-gapped deployments for enterprises across defense, financial services, and healthcare.
Problems we’re excited about
Coding standards can be idiosyncratic and are often poorly documented; can we build agents that learn them through osmosis like a new hire might?
Can we identify for each customer what types of PR feedback they do and don’t care about, perhaps using some sample efficient RL, in order to increase signal-to-noise ratio?
Some bugs are best caught by running the code, potentially against discerning AI-generated E2E tests. Can we autonomously deploy feature branches and use agents to parallel try to break the application to detect bugs?
