Software development is becoming a collaboration between developers and AI systems. Most AI developer tools operate on prompts and static snapshots of code. But real software development happens inside large, evolving codebases that change continuously through edits, refactors, discussions, and collaboration. We are building AI systems that operate inside that environment. Zed today is a code editor built from scratch in Rust with GPU acceleration and real-time multiplayer collaboration. Every keystroke and edit can be shared instantly between collaborators, creating a shared workspace where developers and increasingly AI systems can work together. We are also building DeltaDB https://zed.dev/blog/sequoia-backs-zed, a system that records the operational history of software development. It captures edits, discussions, and AI interactions as they happen. This creates a foundation for AI systems that can reason not just about code, but about how that code evolves over time. Much of this work involves designing systems that help AI understand large, evolving codebases. This includes providing the right context and evaluating whether its suggestions actually improve the software. The work sits at the intersection of AI systems, developer tools, and distributed collaboration. We are exploring how software gets built when AI becomes part of the development environment itself. SOME QUESTIONS WE ARE EXPLORING Many of these questions do not yet have established answers. Part of the work is designing and testing new approaches in real developer workflows. - How should AI reason about codebases that are constantly evolving rather than static repositories? - How can streams of development activity such as edits, refactors, and discussions provide useful context for models? - What does it mean for AI to operate inside a real-time collaborative environment where multiple developers are editing the same project? - How should AI systems make suggestions without interrupting developer flow? - How do we evaluate whether AI systems are genuinely helping developers understand and evolve complex software systems? WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON - Designing systems that allow AI to participate directly in developer workflows - Building infrastructure that connects language models with the editor and developer tools - Developing context systems that help models reason about large codebases - Designing evaluation frameworks for AI-assisted development - Improving the reliability, latency, and cost efficiency of AI features - Working closely with editor and infrastructure engineers to ship ideas quickly - Pair programming with teammates to explore ideas and refine systems together REQUIREMENTS - Experience building production systems powered by large language models - Strong understanding of model behavior, prompting, and evaluation - Experience integrating AI capabilities into real software products - Strong backend or systems programming experience - Interest in developer tools and programming environments - Ability to collaborate closely with other engineers - Experience with Rust, or willingness to learn PREFERRED EXPERIENCE - Building AI coding assistants or developer tools - Designing evaluation systems for LLM-driven products - Working with large codebases, compilers, or programming environments - Experience with tool-using or agent-style models - Experience with Rust ABOUT ZED Zed is open source and built in public by the team behind Atom and Tree-sitter. The editor is written in Rust with GPU acceleration for every frame. When you type or move the cursor, pixels respond instantly. That responsiveness keeps you in flow. Zed is multiplayer by default, allowing developers to work together in the same codebase in real time. Much of our work happens through pair programming, with engineers collaborating directly inside the editor. We ship improvements weekly and work closely with a community that cares deeply about the craft of developer tools. Location: Rem

Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution. The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing. This is a general track for first-level engineering management positions at Canonical. We believe that open source is just starting to transform the tech sector and enterprise compute. Our goal is to make open source easier, more reliable, and more secure for deployment and development. We strive to be the provider of ‘most software to most companies’. To deliver on that ambition, our engineers are carefully selected from the applicants across the globe. We select for brilliance and motivation to take open source to the next level. Our engineering managers help teams achieve more than they realised they could, and feel proud of the result. We believe that Engineering Managers should be outstanding developers themselves. They should be completely at home reviewing a patch or a software design spec. They are trusted engineers who understand the importance of a whole-team effort in creating great products and who enjoy seeing colleagues develop. They should contribute code themselves to set the standard for coding, but know that the code they write is far less significant than their ability to shape the whole team’s direction, focus, and delivery. We grow management skills and train engineers who are interested in soft skills to be managers. A typical first-level software engineering team is based in a single time zone, such as EMEA or Americas, or APAC, with an Engineering Manager and a Senior Engineer dedicated to a single product, who work as a team to shape the roadmap, technical strategy, code, documentation, and community engagement. They are both capable of coding, and are both leaders comfortable assigning work and maintaining expectations of delivery. They will both be expected to take management training at Canonical so they speak the same language when it comes to team behaviours, habits, routines, norms, and standards, but they focus on different sides of the problem. An Engineering Manager is responsible for line management and career guidance. The ability to develop engineering talent, to represent your team and product from a technical perspective, and to drive collaboration with other teams and customers are all critical to success in this role. We have open manager roles across a wide range of engineering domains, including:&nbsp; - Python and Golang - C / C++ / Rust - Data infrastructure - HTML / CSS / JavaScript / Typescript / React - Flutter - Distro packaging and systems - SAAS and web microservices - Kernel - Servers - Graphics, Browser and Desktop&nbsp;&nbsp; - Silicon enablement and embedded devices - Product Security If your domain of expertise isn’t listed above, yet you feel it’s relevant to Canonical, then feel free to apply anyway.
