About the role

Staff-level role focused on building and evaluating AI-assisted code review for GitHub Copilot, shaping end-to-end review experiences, metrics, and system health at scale.

Responsibilities

  • Own product problems that arrive without an answer and ship the answer end to end.
  • Advance how the agent reviews: the context it uses, what it remembers, and how it improves over time.
  • Decide what a good review looks like for a class of code, then build the evals that hold the product to it.
  • Make the quality, latency, and cost tradeoffs that decide how deep a review goes.
  • Improve review quality in aggregate and quantify the gain, including when a change wins overall and loses on some pull requests.
  • Shape the end-to-end review experience across VS Code, the GitHub Copilot app, and the GitHub Copilot CLI, and pull requests.
  • Keep a high-throughput service healthy at GitHub scale, including an on-call rotation.
  • Work at the frontier of how software gets built with agents and evolve workflows that make the whole team faster.
