Remote Frontend Jobs

GitHub's chat integrations put GitHub where developers already work — in Slack and Microsoft Teams. Our team enables customers to bring their ideas to life, innovate, and collaborate directly with both humans and AI agents in the tools where their conversations are already happening.

As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you'll build experiences that bring the full power of GitHub — including Copilot — into chat. You'll help developers interact with AI-powered features, manage their work, and collaborate with agents and teammates without leaving the conversation. You'll tackle hard problems at the intersection of AI, developer experience, security, and massive scale.

This is a small, motivated team with a broad mandate. You'll have outsized impact — shaping not just the product but the technical direction, the architecture, and how we work. We're looking for someone who is energized by ambiguity and eager to jump in.

• Foster technical growth across the team by researching new approaches, sharing insights, and guiding their practical adoption
• Write, review and maintain code primarily in JavaScript (React, TypeScript), Ruby (Rails), and Go
• Write architecture briefs and proposals, carry out code experiments, and build prototypes to learn how we can achieve planetary scale with our systems
• Work closely with engineering leadership to guide technical investment and implement technical roadmaps and priorities
• Coordinate with engineering and product leads to define, prioritize, and task projects that help us meet business objectives
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, pairing opportunities, and code reviews to encourage the growth of others
