About the Role
About the Role
We're looking for a Developer Experience Engineer to embed directly in the San Francisco developer ecosystem and help shape the future of Git workflows.
This is a hybrid role across engineering, product, and community - part builder, part listener, part connector.
About the Job
Join us to help build the next generation of version control tools alongside a GitHub co-founder.
You'll spend time with developers, teams, and partners - understanding how they actually work, where current tools break down, and where GitButler can win. You'll translate those insights into product direction, surface opportunities, and help coordinate high-leverage conversations between external partners and our team.
You'll also get your hands dirty: prototyping workflows, testing ideas, contributing code when useful, and helping validate new concepts in the wild.
What You'll Do
Engage deeply with developers, teams, and partners in SF
Identify pain points, workflows, and emerging patterns in modern development
Turn real-world insights into clear product direction and priorities
Build relationships and trust across the developer ecosystem
Help coordinate key conversations, partnerships, and introductions
Pull in the CEO or team at the right moments for maximum impact
Prototype, experiment, and validate ideas quickly (code when helpful)
About You
Strong technical background (you can build, debug, and reason about real systems)
Deep familiarity with Git and modern developer workflows
Comfortable talking to developers and presenting in front of crowds. You love to do a demo.
Curious, observant, and opinionated about how software should be built
Able to translate messy qualitative input into clear insights
Excited by ambiguity, autonomy, and early-stage product shaping
Based in SF
Bonus Points
Experience in forward deployed engineering or early-stage product roles
Strong network in the SF developer or startup ecosystem
Experience with developer tools, version control, or collaboration systems
History of building side projects, tools, or open source
Why GitButler?
We're building a fundamentally new way to work with Git - designed for modern, AI-assisted development workflows.
Small team, fast pace, minimal meetings, and a real chance to shape how millions of developers write code.
