About Coder
What is Coder?
Coder (Coder Technologies Inc.) sells self-hosted software for running development environments and AI coding agents on a customer's own infrastructure. Its homepage describes "Self-hosted AI development infrastructure that lets developers use any model or agent, while giving enterprises the governance and control to scale AI safely." The site lists three products: Coder Workspaces, Coder Agents and Coder AI Governance. A press release dated 1 April 2026 says "Founded in 2017 in Austin, Texas, Coder provides a centralized, secure platform" for cloud development environments, and announces "$90 million Series C led by funds managed by KKR" with Qube Research & Technologies, Uncork Capital and other existing investors taking part. The release names KKR and Qube Research & Technologies as customers: at KKR, "Coder was rolled out to more than 500 engineers". The customer-stories page also features DekaBank, EnBW Trading and PsiQuantum, and the footer says "SOC 2 Type II audited". Rob Whiteley is quoted as CEO in the 2026 releases. No page read gives a total amount raised or a headcount; one job advert says "Coder is growing from about 220 to 500 people by the end of 2027".
Where will I work?
The careers page says "From Alaska to Australia, and everywhere in between, we work remote-first with offices in Austin, San Francisco, and London." The legal terms give the company address as 9901 Brodie Lane, Ste 160 #1212, Austin, TX 78748; that page does not call it an office. On 13 November 2026 the Ashby board listed 29 adverts. Ashby tags 26 of them Remote, 1 Hybrid and 2 with no tag. The hybrid one, a Sales Enablement Manager in London, says "Candidates should be local and able to work from our London office on a regular weekly basis, with scheduling flexibility." The remote adverts are tied to places: by Ashby's location text 12 are in the United States (10 say United States, one New York City, one Chicago), 12 in the United Kingdom (8 say United Kingdom, 4 London), 2 in Singapore, 2 say North America and 1 says Europe (with a Warsaw address). Ashby also lists secondary locations on 5 adverts (Ireland and Poland on four of the UK ones, United Kingdom and Ireland on a US one). Several state where you must be: "Based in the US West Coast timezone", "Located in the Austin metro area or Eastern time zone", "Must be located in Singapore." and "This position is required to be in the US Eastern Time Zone." One US Federal role asks for "Active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph required at time of hire; U.S. citizenship required" and a base in the Washington DC area.
What is the Coder team like?
The careers page says "Join our mission to keep developers in flow." The 29 live adverts sit in Revenue (13), Research & Development (11), Marketing (3) and General & Administrative (2): solutions engineers, account managers and customer success managers, Go and TypeScript engineers on the Agentic Engineering and Enterprise Experience teams, product managers and a designer, marketing managers in New York, London and Singapore, a recruiter and an HR business partner. An engineering advert says the team works "across the full stack - from Go backend and React frontend to integrating with LLM provider APIs" and lists "contributing to Coder's open-source ecosystem" among the day-to-day work. The about page lists Ammar Bandukwala and Kyle Carberry as co-founders. Employees quoted on the careers page include a software engineer who writes "Our engineering team is full of kind, diverse, and talented people who are a pleasure to work with." The adverts mention a custom of thanking colleagues "by giving tacos", and they state that "Not permitted: Using AI assistance during conversational interviews." while AI tooling is allowed for take-home assessments if its use is flagged.
Work-Life Balance
The careers page lists the benefit in one sentence: "Take the time you need to recharge with unlimited paid time off." It is the only place the policy appears: 0 of the 29 adverts mention unlimited time off, vacation, holiday or a leave entitlement (the HR advert lists "statutory leave" only among UK employment set-up duties), and no other page read repeats it. The page gives no minimum number of days, no approval process and no sentence saying which employees it covers. It does limit one benefit by place (the 401(K) match is "to US-based employees"), and it limits none of the others. An HR advert says Coder works with an Employer of Record (EOR) in some countries and describes the role as "a foundational hire for our London entity buildout", so people outside the United States may be employed on different terms; nothing read says what leave they get. The careers page also lists "Every employee is eligible for a 4-week paid sabbatical every 5 years.", a parental leave of 16 weeks for birthing parents and 8 for non-birthing parents (the page does not say whether it is paid), a short return-to-work schedule of up to two months, and "Flexible schedules" described as "We respect that not every day is the same and things come up." No page or advert states weekly hours or core hours. Two adverts mention on-call: the backend engineer role says "join the on-call rotation" and the Senior Customer Support Engineer role says "Participate in a periodic on-call rotation for production-down issues"; neither describes round-the-clock cover.
