Product Manager - Delivery

ALL SOURCEGRAPH ROLES ARE FULLY REMOTE

Who we are

Our mission at Sourcegraph is to make it so that everyone can code, not just ~0.1% of the population. We help developers and companies with billions of lines of code create the software you use every day. In enabling more people to code, we believe we will create economic opportunity across the world and will drive progress that benefits everyone.

It’s an exciting time to join Sourcegraph. Our company is growing rapidly: we’ve experienced exponential growth and our $125M Series D from Andreessen Horowitz and $50M Series C from Sequoia have given us the opportunity to make big ambitious bets on our future. We have a huge market (every company that builds software) and massive opportunity (most developers haven't even heard of code search yet, but once you've used it, you can't live without it--just like Google web search). By continuing to hire exceptional people, we have the opportunity to make Sourcegraph one of the biggest technology companies in the world. 

As a Product Manager for our Cloud org, you will be a crucial member of our exceptional high agency all-remote team to achieve our company-wide mission of helping Sourcegraph become the standard tool for searching and understanding public code. In this position you will have the opportunity to work closely with engineers and product designers to increase organizational velocity, performance, and quality.

There are quite a few really interesting problem areas that this organization focuses on:

• Provide the fastest, most seamless way for development teams to bring Sourcegraph into their workflows, wherever they are. We do this by optimizing the processes and tools at those initial touchpoints and bridging our value to our users needs.
• Delivery - Enable any Sourcegraph customer or user to trial or run (in production) Sourcegraph in a way that is compatible with their environment, supports their level of technical expertise, and allows them to easily access the value that our product provides.
• DevOps - The Infrastructure used to host Sourcegraph.com, including dashboard and observability, uptime and reliability, and managing our cloud provider resources. This team also has the ability to slow or stop rollouts to Sourcegraph.com if needed to improve stability and the continuous deployment of Sourcegraph.com

• You will understand the what, why, and how of the projects that your team is working on, how those projects contribute to our company goals, as well as current status, risks, and mitigations.

• You will have improved planning, communication, and collaboration processes to help the team scale as we grow.
• Grow usage and engagement of your ownership area and Sourcegraph as a whole.
