## Job description

Greptile is an AI code reviewer that catches bugs and anti-patterns in pull requests with complete context of the codebase. Hundreds of top software companies, from YC startups to big tech, and teams in finance, healthcare, and defense, use Greptile to merge PRs faster and catch more bugs.

- Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript
- Exceptional product taste
- Strong understanding of implementation (you build what you design)
- Comfortable collaborating closely with engineers
- High ownership and fast execution

You’ll like working here if

- You care about craft and want to both design and build

## About Greptile

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Greptile provides an AI-powered code review agent that analyzes pull requests with full codebase context to catch bugs, enforce standards, and autonomously test changes.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Y Combinator W24; raised $4M seed + Series A – amount undisclosed – as of Sep 2025)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Daksh Gupta, Soohoon Choi, Vaishant Kameswaran

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI-powered developer tools / code quality & validation.
- **Target customers**: B2B; engineering teams at startups to enterprises (defense, healthcare, financial services).
- **Mission or purpose**: “Build agents that autonomously validate, test, and QA code changes before they are merged” – helping teams merge faster and catch more bugs as software becomes more critical.

## Products & Services
- **Greptile Core (AI Code Review)**: A SaaS platform that indexes a codebase into a graph of files, functions, and dependencies, then uses a swarm of AI agents to review every pull request. Integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Devin). Pricing: $30/seat/month (50 credits included, $1/additional credit).
- **TREX (Autonomous Test Agent)**: An agent that writes and runs tests for every PR in a sandboxed environment to catch bugs and missed edge cases.
- **Greptile API**: Programmatic access for custom integrations, with discounted bulk pricing.
- **MCP / Claude Code Plugin**: Connects Greptile to AI agents for sharing comment context and auto-resolving issues.
- **Self-Hosted Deployment**: Available in an air-gapped AWS environment, with support for custom LLM providers. SOC 2 compliant, SSO, audit logs, dedicated support.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – $4M seed (June 2024) + Series A (amount undisclosed, announced Sep 2025). Annual revenue not publicly available.
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Y Combinator (Winter 2024), Brad Flora (primary partner). Customers include Stripe, Amazon, PostHog, Raycast, Vouch, Podium, and YC’s internal software team.
- **Growth Signals**: Over 9,000+ teams using Greptile; team grew from 20 (early 2025) to 35 (latest YC profile); attracted enterprise customers in defense, healthcare, and financial services; introduced self-hosted, air-gapped deployment for compliance-heavy industries.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full codebase context**: Builds a graph index of files, functions, and dependencies (not just diff context) – catches multi-file logical bugs and style violations.
- **Continuous learning**: Reads engineers’ comments on PRs to adapt to team-specific coding standards over time.
- **Autonomous testing (TREX)**: Writes and runs tests in a sandbox for every PR, reducing manual QA burden.
- **Enterprise readiness**: SOC 2, self-hosted on customer’s VPC, SSO, audit logs, support for air-gapped environments.
- **Language support**: Full support for 12+ languages (Python, JS/TS, Go, Java, C/C++, Rust, etc.).

## Strategic Focus
- **Becoming the “central validation layer”** for all code changes, especially as AI-generated code increases.
- **Deepening integrations with coding agents** (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Devin) to make Greptile the default quality gate.
- **Expanding enterprise sales** into regulated industries (defense, healthcare, fintech) via self-hosted and compliance features.
- **Growing the team** – hiring across engineering, GTM, and operations (all in San Francisco).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Small, tight-knit team of researchers, engineers, and designers in San Francisco. High autonomy and ownership. Focus on solving hard problems in code quality.
- **Work model**: All open roles are listed as “San Francisco” – likely office-first with some flexibility (hybrid). The team is described as “based in San Francisco” and “small group”.
- **Perks & compensation**: Equity (0.10% – 0.30% for some roles per YC jobs), competitive salary ($140K–$160K for engineering roles). Discounts for open-source projects and pre-Series A startups.
- **Engineering culture**: Building agents that autonomously validate and test code; strong emphasis on quality, security, and continuous improvement. Opportunity to shape the future of code review at scale.
