About the role

US only. Managing the team behind Blackbird, GitHub's lexical and semantic code search engine, inside the Copilot Agents organisation.

Blackbird is the retrieval layer under Cloud Agent, Code Review, Copilot CLI and VS Code, so the reliability bar is set by other people's products. You would be managing staff and principal engineers, which makes it a technical leadership seat with a reporting line attached rather than a people-management one.
