GitHub Posted about 2 months ago $160.2K - $425K

All remote roles

About the role

Ruby, C and Go, which is an unusual and telling combination. The C is where Git itself lives, and working at that layer at this scale puts you among a very small number of people in the world doing it.

The principal seat on the team running the largest code-hosting platform in the world. Services that store and serve Git repositories, plus the microservices, protocols, proxies and control systems around them.

US remote, highly distributed team with a strong asynchronous communication culture. Cross-team, wide-reaching work at the foundation of everything else GitHub does.
