Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Software Engineer - **Company:** CodeRabbit Inc. - **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Cloud Computing, Static Program Analysis, Code Review, Distributed Systems, Node.Js, Open Source Technology, Software Construction, Software Engineering, TypeScript, DevOps Tools - Open-source, Large Language Models, Backend, Event Driven Architecture, Containerization, Kubernetes, Information Technology, Build Tools, Software Version Control, Docker, Microservices - **Published:** September 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/senior-software-engineer-backend-coderabbit-8100858 ## About the Role * Education: Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience * Experience: 5+ years building backend systems and distributed infrastructure * Technical Expertise: Fluency in TypeScript and Node.js, or a similar modern backend stack; experience with micro services, async job queues, and event-driven architectures * Systems Thinking: Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, devops tooling, runtime infrastructure, and production observability * Engineering Craft: Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, including testing, code reviews, and version control workflows * Product Mindset: Thoughtful about trade-offs, user experience, and fast iteration * Team Leadership: Willing to mentor, lead by example, and influence technical direction without being a pure manager, * Experience with code search, code graphs, tree-sitter, or static analysis tools, and an understanding of how to apply them in real-world engineering environments * Experience integrating AI/LLM-based systems into product workflows * Contributions to open-source or community projects * Experience designing or implementing agent-based systems or AI products involving autonomous or task-driven agents ## Description * Architect and build scalable backend services, APIs, and distributed systems * Collaborate with ML engineers to integrate models into agent-based systems and AI products involving autonomous or task-driven agents * Guide junior engineers through mentorship and technical reviews * Own architectural decisions in new product features * Ensure reliability, performance, and security across systems * Contribute to an engineering culture of speed, quality, and pragmatic innovation, * CodeRabbit is building the next generation of AI-native developer tooling - starting with code review. We combine large language models with deep software engineering context to help teams ship faster, catch more bugs, and make better architectural decisions at scale. * We are a high-ownership engineering culture. That means no passive execution, no waiting for perfect tickets, and no narrowly defined task boundaries. Engineers here find problems before they're assigned, use AI as a core part of how they build, ship with judgment, and own outcomes from proposal to production. * Our operating philosophy: bias toward action, ship the smallest necessary coherent slice, validate proportional to risk, watch what happens, and make the system better. AI drafts; humans decide. Speed matters, but so does understanding what you ship. * This opportunity will be energizing for people who want real ownership, pace, and high standards. It's uncomfortable for people who prefer slow consensus or heavily managed workflows. * If you want to build tools that are changing how software gets written, and be held to the standard that the best engineers thrive under; we'd love to talk. ## Related Videos - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
