Technical Recruiter

Graphite builds consumer-quality tools for modern software engineering teams, so they can ship faster and create amazing products.

Our product

Graphite is modern code review for fast-moving teams - we help engineers write and review smaller pull requests, stay unblocked, and ship faster.

Anyone can start using Graphite individually without needing their coworkers to change tools - we seamlessly sync code changes and reviews. We started Graphite because we missed internal code review tools like Phabricator (at Facebook) and Critique (Google) that help engineers create, approve, and ship small, incremental changes, and long-term we’re passionate about creating products & workflows that help fast-moving eng teams achieve more.

Our company

We’re a small-but-mighty team of 30+ based in Manhattan in the heart of Soho, with a passionate and rapidly growing group of users at top engineering orgs like Ramp, Shopify, Snowflake, Duolingo, Vercel & more!

We've raised a $52mil Series B (featured in TechCrunch) led by Christine Esserman, following a previous $20mil Series A from Peter Levine at Andreessen Horowitz (who led GitHub's Series A). Other investors include folks like Tom Preston-Werner (founder of GitHub), Sam Lambert (Planetscale CEO & ex-GitHub CTO), Sebastian Markbåge (creator of React), and many more.

Our culture centers on putting people first, applying science and craft, practicing disciplined ambition, and giving ownership - both literally (with equity) and in the responsibility and scope you’ll have as a part of our early team. Outside of work you’ll find us brewing espresso drinks, producing music, or practicing yoga. We can’t wait to see what you’ll add to the mix!
