Job Description
Our mission at Sourcegraph is to make it so that everyone can code, not just ~0.1% of the population. Our code intelligence platform helps developers and companies with billions of lines of code create the software you use every day. By enabling more people to code, we believe we will create economic opportunity across the world and will drive progress that benefits everyone.
It’s an exciting time to join Sourcegraph. Our business is growing rapidly: we’ve experienced exponential growth and our $125M Series D from Andreessen Horowitz and $50M Series C from Sequoia have given us the opportunity to make big ambitious bets on our future. We have a huge market (every company that builds software) and massive opportunity (most developers haven't even heard of code intelligence yet, but once you've used it, you can't live without it--just like Google). By continuing to hire exceptional people, we have the opportunity to make Sourcegraph one of the biggest technology companies in the world.
You’ll join the industry leader in code search software as a key lawyer. Your mission will be to build a scalable, efficient commercial contracting function. As a legal leader at a fast-growing startup, you’ll have unbounded opportunities to grow, which includes playing key roles in any financing, M&A, IPO and leading the commercial function.

- Lead various corporate initiatives on the legal front, including international expansion strategy and shaping a global equity program that maximizes value to teammates
Within one year:
- Build the foundation for a scalable, efficient commercial contracting function
- Play a key role in any fundraising and M&A
- Identify legal and business priorities for the company with an eye toward public company readiness
- And much more!
You see yourself as a strategic business partner and a lawyer. You excel at driving negotiations to completion. You are obsessed with building efficient processes. You thrive in fast-paced environments. You get stuff done. You manage up.
