At Stack Overflow, our mission is to empower the world’s developers. Every day, millions of developers come to us to get answers to their programming questions, collaborate better with their teams, and find their next dream job. As the world continues to transform with technology as a leading force, we’re driven to make Stack Overflow a place where everyone who codes feels welcome to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.

As a full-stack software developer working on our new OverflowAI product suite, you’ll join a cross-disciplinary team of developers, designers, data scientists, and product managers creating new and existing features for all of our Teams product tiers. The contributions you’ll make will have a far-reaching impact and help shape the future of the world’s largest community of developers. Some recent projects we’ve been working on include:

• Collectives™ , which helps you find trusted answers faster, connect with subject matter experts from the community, and share knowledge around the technologies you use most.
• The Stack Overflow for Visual Studio Code extension, which brings the human-validated content from Stack Overflow to where developers work most - right inside their IDE.
• Enhanced Search for Stack Overflow for Teams, a new GenAI-enabled semantic vector search solution that allows Teams members to ask natural questions and receive insightful summarized answers.

You’ll work primarily in our main tech stack of C#, ASP.NET, and Microsoft SQL Server, with supporting technologies like Redis, TypeScript, Weaviate, and Azure OpenAI. If you’re not familiar with our specific tech stack, we’ll pair you with mentors who will help you bridge the gaps. As a company dedicated to increasing developer knowledge, we’ll give you the resources and support you need to develop mastery in your craft. 

Skills and Requirements

We expect to see:

• Solid programming skills in your language of choice (not necessarily ours) and a track record of getting stuff done.
• 1+ year(s) of full-stack web development experience with any major server-side stack, relational database, and modern front-end (JS, HTML, CSS). Experience in our stack is a plus, but not a requirement.
• Experience with Agile methodologies such as Scrum, XP, or Kanban. You’ve been on teams that practice Agile and you understand why it’s beneficial for the team.
• Prior experience developing software solutions for companies and/or end users. You’ve built features and fixed bugs for a commercial product offering before.
• Self-motivating, self-directing, and a great communicator (written and oral). This does not mean that you need to speak or write English perfectly! You thrive in an environment that grants you a lot of autonomy to explore creative solutions.
• Excellent problem solving skills. You excel at analyzing and solving problems using tools and technology.
• Living and working within GMT-7:00 (US) to GMT+2:00 (Europe) time zones.

We like to see (but not required):

• Experience working remotely and/or working with teams that are distributed geographically.
• Experience shipping features in a fast-moving, cross-disciplinary team (Product Managers, Designers, UX Researchers, Product Marketing, etc).
• Experience with building high scale, end-user applications. Skills working with large amounts of data, LLMs, vector search and embeddings, feature flagging, and A/B testing are a plus.
• An active Stack Overflow profile, open source code, example projects that you’re proud of (whether open source or worked on at a previous job), or any other evidence of your passion for building great software.
• Knowledge of how Stack Overflow works from our blog and podcasts.
