Full Job Description
Graphite builds consumer-quality tools for modern software engineering teams, so they can ship faster and create amazing products.
Our product
Graphite is modern code review for fast-moving teams - we help engineers write and review smaller pull requests, stay unblocked, and ship faster.
Anyone can start using Graphite individually without needing their coworkers to change tools - we seamlessly sync code changes and reviews. We started Graphite because we missed internal code review tools like Phabricator (at Facebook) and Critique (Google) that help engineers create, approve, and ship small, incremental changes, and long-term we’re passionate about creating products & workflows that help fast-moving eng teams achieve more.
Our company
We have tripled our headcount in the past year to now be about 80 people here in our NYC HQ in the heart of Soho! We have big plans to continue to grow our team this year to keep up with our goals to help some of the top engineering orgs in the world ship software including Datadog, Vercel, Ramp, Snowflake & much more!
We are thrilled to share that Graphite is joining Cursor! With Cursor, we’ll bring together the best-in-class tools for creating, reviewing, and merging code in the age of AI. Graphite will continue to operate as an independent product, now with even greater resources to realize our vision. Some of our early partners in our Series A & B rounds include Christine Esserman, Peter Levine (A16z investor who led GitHub's Series A), Tom Preston-Werner (founder of GitHub), Sam Lambert (Planetscale CEO & ex-GitHub CTO), Sebastian Markbåge (creator of React), and many more.
Our culture centers on putting people first, applying science and craft, practicing disciplined ambition, and giving ownership - both literally (with equity) and in the responsibility and scope you’ll have as a part of our early team. Outside of work you’ll find us brewing espresso drinks, producing music, or practicing yoga. We can’t wait to see what you’ll add to the mix!
