GitHub is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join the Enterprise Platform team, focussed on building AI Governance, Policy Controls and Observability for Github and Copilot.

Success means more than choosing an architecture. It means explaining the tradeoffs, implementing the critical paths, agreeing on integration contracts with partner teams, and owning the system in production.
Deep production engineering experience is essential. Prior AI or LLM experience is valuable but not required.
