About CodeRabbit

CodeRabbit is an innovative research and development company focused on building extraordinarily productive human-machine collaboration systems. Our primary goal is to create the next generation of Gen AI-driven code reviewers: a symbiotic partnership between humans and advanced algorithms that significantly outperforms individual engineers. We combine language models with human ingenuity to push the boundaries of software development efficiency and quality.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Site Reliability Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team in the Bay Area. You'll be instrumental in ensuring the high availability, performance, and scalability of CodeRabbit's AI-powered code review platform.
