[Hiring] Software Engineer (AI Governance) @Coder

Role Description

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to help shape AI governance for developer tooling at Coder. This role sits on our AI Governance team, which builds and maintains two enterprise-grade components of Coder's AI governance stack:

• AI Gateway: A centralized LLM gateway that provides organizations with audit trails, token tracking, cost control, and centralized authentication.
• Agent Firewall: Wraps coding agents with default-deny network policies, controlling which domains and methods they can reach inside workspaces.

This team works across the full stack - from Go backend and React frontend, to integrating with LLM provider APIs. Day to day, you'll be shipping features, hardening security boundaries, collaborating with enterprise customers on real-world policy needs, and contributing to Coder's open-source ecosystem.

What you'll do here:

• Design and build product features that push the standard for remote development in self-hosted environments.
• Create and improve upon popular open source projects that integrate with VS Code, JetBrains, and other developer tools.
• Champion best practices to both internal team members and external contributors.
• Collaborate with Product and Design teams at Coder, as well as with partners like JetBrains, to execute key product integrations.
• Document the design, implementation, and operations of systems for knowledge sharing within the team.
• Work alongside Customer Success teams to support Coder’s enterprise user base.
• Work with cutting-edge AI technologies to create seamless, painless developer experiences.
• Rapidly iterate from prototype to implementation in a highly adaptive, reactive team environment.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of full-stack experience writing code in a professional setting, with 1+ year(s) writing Go (ideally in current or most recent position).
• Proficiency in building distributed systems in Go.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Exceptional debugging and troubleshooting skills, and the tenacity to drive a solution to a conclusion.
• You are self-motivated with a creative and analytical mindset.

Requirements

• Frontend: Typescript, React, Vite.
• Backend: Go, Postgres, GCP, Kubernetes, gRPC.
• IDE Extensions: Typescript, Kotlin.
• Observability: Prometheus, Grafana.
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions.
• General: GitHub, Slack, Discord, Notion.

Benefits

• Experience with TypeScript and React.
• A background in developer tooling, platform engineering, or IaC.
• A curiosity about the latest tech trends and what is going on in the world of developer tools.
