In this role you will design, prototype, implement, ship and support highly performant and inspiring user experiences with your team. GitHub is looking for a Software Engineer II to join the GitHub Copilot Models Lifecycle team. This role focuses on building and operating the backend services and APIs that power GitHub Copilot and keep new capabilities flowing safely to developers at scale. Our team owns the systems that get AI models configured, rolled out, and served reliably to millions of developers. A big part of the work is making that process safer and more automated - turning manual, repetitive steps into dependable, self-serve workflows, and rolling changes out gradually instead of all-at-once. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who likes owning real production services and cares about the details - reliability, safe rollouts, and clean, maintainable systems. You'll write code that ships, contribute to technical designs, and grow your scope on a team whose work directly unblocks other engineering teams across GitHub. You'll collaborate with a distributed, diverse group of engineers, PMs, and partner teams across GitHub and Microsoft. We value developer empathy, transparency, and inclusive collaboration, and we think curiosity and follow-through are what make great engineers. Responsibilities * Design, develop, test and ship high-quality technical solutions that scale across multiple GitHub services. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and implement innovative solutions. * Provide technical leadership, mentorship, pairing opportunities, and code reviews to encourage the growth of others. * Own and advocate for the health and quality of the systems that the team builds, including participating in on-call and first responder rotations * Write architecture briefs and proposals, carry out code experiments, and build prototypes to learn how we can achieve planetary scale with our systems. * Design and implement APIs to facilitate seamless integration between software components. * Utilize CI/CD tools to set up automated pipelines for continuous integration and delivery. * Become intimately familiar with the systems you build and take pride in writing maintainable code. ## About GitHub GitHub is **_where people build software_**.
