Description For Software Engineer

Continue, a YC S23 company backed by Heavybit and notable angels, is revolutionizing developer tools with their AI-powered code assistance platform. With over 24k GitHub stars and 1M+ downloads, they're building state-of-the-art autocomplete and codebase retrieval systems.

As a Software Engineer at Continue, you'll be at the forefront of creating tools that amplify developer capabilities rather than replace them. The role combines frontend expertise with AI engineering, requiring both technical excellence and user empathy. You'll work directly on their open-source IDE extensions and hub of models, making significant impacts on how developers interact with AI assistance.

The ideal candidate brings 6+ years of experience with strong TypeScript, Node.js, and React skills, coupled with an interest in AI engineering. You'll join a small but growing team in San Francisco, working alongside founders and contributing to a product used by major organizations like Siemens.

This role offers competitive compensation ($150K-$200K plus equity) and the opportunity to shape the future of developer tools. You'll be solving fundamental problems, designing thoughtful abstractions, and engaging directly with the developer community. If you're passionate about creating intuitive, powerful tools that enhance developer productivity, this role offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact in the AI-powered developer tools space.
