People Operations Coordinator

About the job

ALL SOURCEGRAPH ROLES ARE FULLY REMOTE

Who We Are

Our mission at Sourcegraph is to make it so that everyone can code, not just ~0.1% of the population. We help developers and companies with billions of lines of code create the software you use every day. In 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 company 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 search yet, but once you’ve used it, you can’t live without it–just like Google web search). By continuing to hire exceptional people, we have the opportunity to make Sourcegraph one of the biggest technology companies in the world.

Why this job is exciting

Our People team works on exciting initiatives that enable the success of our teammates by focusing on their onboarding, development, wellbeing, 360 reviews, and benefits, and ensuring that their operational needs (like payroll questions and employment verifications) are attended to quickly and efficiently. As our People Ops Coordinator, you’ll help our operations of our People team scale and become more streamlined by taking ownership of deliverables like the rollout of critical training and checks, teammate offboarding, working with our payroll team to ensure benefits are administered correctly, and helping teammates with day-to-day questions that get posted in our Slack channel. You’ll also get the chance to provide ad hoc support on initiatives relating to wellbeing, training, social connections, and rewards as they come up. Our team works closely together, and this role will give you exposure to all aspects of the People function and what it takes to support teammates in a fast-scaling, remote tech environment. We work with lots of smart people who like to think about things differently, allowing us to work on meaningful projects that really make a difference to our teammates. This is your chance to be part of a progressive People team and learn how we enable the success of a company!

• You’ll have gained exposure to, and had an opportunity to contribute to, the thinking and implementation of other initiatives in the team

Within one year

• You’ll have had robust exposure to all aspects of People Operations and made a significant contribution to how we scale the team and provide a great experience to our teammates

About You

You’re a self-starter who cares about delivering meaningful work to enable the success of other teammates. You have an eye for detail and care about making sure things run as efficiently as possible. You’re motivated to lean in on any project requiring your support, quickly understand what’s required of you, take the time to clarify expectations, and communicate your progress as you complete tasks. You are strongly aligned with our values and are inspired by our mission to make it so that everyone can code.
