Job Description
Graphite builds consumer-quality tools for modern software engineering teams, so they can ship faster and create amazing products.
Our produc
tGraphite is modern code review for fast-moving teams - we help engineers write and review smaller pull requests, stay unblocked, and ship faster
.
Anyone can start using Graphite individually without needing their coworkers to change tools - we seamlessly sync code changes and reviews. We started Graphite because we missed internal code review tools like Phabricator (at Facebook) and Critique (Google) that help engineers create, approve, and ship small, incremental changes, and long-term we’re passionate about creating products & workflows that help fast-moving eng teams achieve mor

mix!
