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 is a centralized LLM gateway that sits between coding agents and providers such as OpenAI or Anthropic, providing organizations with audit trails, token tracking, cost control, and centralized authentication. Agent Firewall wraps those 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
What we're looking for
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
Our tech stack
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

Ashby helps us review inbound applications by surfacing candidates who best match the role requirements we've defined. This tool does not make hiring decisions; it helps our team prioritize which applications to review first.
Granola takes notes during our interview calls so our team can focus on the conversation with you.
All hiring decisions are made by humans. Our team reviews applications, conducts interviews, and makes final selections.
