About Git Hub

Git Hub is the world’s leading platform for agentic software development — powered by Copilot to build, scale, and deliver secure software. Over 180 million developers, including more than 90% of the Fortune 100 companies, use Git Hub to collaborate, and more than 77,000 organisations have adopted Git Hub Copilot.

In this role you can work from Remote, United States.

Git Hub is growing its Product Partnerships team and is seeking a Senior Partner Engineer to elevate our partner ecosystem and product integration efforts. As a Senior Partner Engineer, you will work hands‑on with strategic partners, customers and internal teams to build and enable deep integrations across the developer ecosystem, including Git Hub Copilot, MCP, Git Hub Copilot SDK, and the Copilot CLI.

You will understand and integrate partner business needs, user requirements, and industry insights to support scalable partner integrations and influence Git Hub’s product roadmap by translating partner requirements into platform‑level opportunities. You will operate at the intersection of software engineering, product strategy, and partner collaboration, acting as a technical force multiplier—building reference implementations, influencing product direction, and helping partners ship production‑grade integrations that developers love.

The ideal candidate is a highly autonomous technical person who drives execution, is a confident problem‑solver, shapes integrated solutions and brings partner and customer insights back into Git Hub’s product and partnership strategies to enable long‑term ecosystem success. At the Senior level, Partner Engineers operate independently to create momentum across multiple partners, influence external integrations as well as internal product direction, and drive new ecosystem investments that unlock partner innovation and deliver immediate impact for developers and the business.

• Customer and Industry Insights:
  Synthesize partner, customer, and industry insights to identify high‑leverage ecosystem opportunities. Advise both partners and internal Git Hub teams on where integrations deliver differentiated developer value, and where product or platform gaps exist.
• Reference Solutions & Prototyping:
  Design, build, and maintain high‑quality reference integrations, sample apps, CLIs, SDK extensions, workflows, and architectures demonstrating best practices for scale, security, and developer experience. Architect, build, and demonstrate technical Proofs of Concept (POCs) and Points of View (POVs) with partners, instrumenting success criteria, performance, and security baselines, leveraging modern AI tooling and proficiency in languages like Go, Ruby, or Typescript.
• Deep Technical & AI Enablement:
  Create and deliver enablement—including documentation, workshops, and hands‑on labs for partner SEs, CEs, and field engineers. This role requires fluency in agentic development patterns, and will provide deep‑dive guidance on integrations with Git Hub Copilot and AI workflows (context sourcing, prompts/policies, telemetry, guardrails, and evaluation).
• Trusted Advisor & Technology Strategy:
  Act as the technical voice of partners inside Git Hub, surfacing integration friction, API constraints, and ecosystem opportunities. Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering teams to shape Git Hub’s and Git Hub Copilot’s platform capabilities, prioritization, and developer experience improvements.
• Integration Lifecycle:
  Own the end‑to‑end integration lifecycle with partners from design and prototype through hardening, security review, production rollout, and ongoing reliability/observability ensuring integrations meet Git Hub-quality bars and scale with developer demand.
• Product Voice and Influence:
  Act as the technical voice of the partner, providing feedback and escalating pressing issues. Funnel product feedback, surface integration gaps, and influence roadmaps for Git Hub and engineering teams.
• Sales and Launch
