About Roo Code

Roo Code is an open-source software development platform that adds an AI-powered team of coding agents directly into Visual Studio Code through an extension. Our mission is to empower a global community of builders to drive huge impact by leveraging advanced AI capabilities.

Role Overview

We’re building the future of software development: AI agents that work with you, right inside VS Code. Our vision is to give every builder their own AI team, enabling them to build faster, smarter, and with way less overhead. As an Engineer in the Loop, you'll help invent and build this new development model from the ground up.

This isn’t just about writing code, it’s about pushing your own capabilities to the next level. You’ll use Roo Code for everything you build, relying on it as your copilot, debugger, planner, and productivity engine. We expect you to leverage and evolve the tool you’re building to produce far more impact than most people would think possible.

You’ll also be a key part of our open-source community. That means collaborating with contributors, listening to their ideas, and thoughtfully reviewing and integrating their pull requests. We believe great engineers build in public, grow with others, and treat community not as overhead, but as leverage.
