Senior Backend Software Developer

About SourceField

SourceField is on a mission to enable software engineers to eliminate bugs before they ship. Our founders spent over 15 years working as developers and saw 2 problems colliding - code is growing at an exponential rate (100x over the last 10 years) and, with the advent of microservices, dev teams are more isolated when they should be collaborating more.  AWS & Google have had more service outages over the last year than the 10 previous years combined.  Simply put - software development velocity is grinding to a halt.

"SourceField is building the only way to address the convergence of these 2 problems that every Global 2000 enterprise will experience in the next 5 years." - DROdio, Founder of Armory.io

We enable dev teams to automate some of the most-painful problems, understand the risk of a code change, and then automatically fix some of these problems.  We spent the last year working on the core tech and are launching soon at MLB, NBA, ByteDance, and a few start-ups.

We have a great team - talent that has built state-of-the-art AI systems at Tesla Motors, built incredible products at Stripe & Chase, and built the tech stack powering machine learning at MLB. We're also led by a YC Alum who is building out their 2nd company! We can't wait to have you join us on this incredible journey!
