Hiring quality verdict.
GitHub Copilot crossed 15 million users in 2025, converting the platform from a code hosting service into the world's largest AI coding deployment — and the AI engineering team building Copilot is now the fastest-growing function within Microsoft's developer division. GitHub operates as a Microsoft subsidiary with its own engineering culture and compensation structure: San Francisco-based senior engineers on the Copilot team clear $190K–$290K total compensation, with approximately 40% of engineering roles posted as remote-eligible globally. The platform recruits disproportionately from its own open-source community — a 100M+ developer talent pool that no other employer can replicate.
GitHub by the numbers.
