Senior Software Engineer, Core Open-Source- Weights & Biases
About The Position
At marimo, we’re on a mission to make the world’s best open-source programming environment for working with data, together with a world-class, scalable, and performant cloud-hosted counterpart. marimo is a reinvention of the Python notebook — it feels like a next-gen reactive Python notebook, but is stored as pure Python that can be versioned with Git, deployed as a data app, run as a script, and reused as a module. Incubated initially with scientists at Stanford, marimo is now used by leading companies, labs, and universities around the world, with millions of downloads since launch and over 17,000 stars on our GitHub repository. On the marimo team, we believe that the tools we use shape the way we think — better tools, for better minds. If you're passionate about developer tools, thrive in ambiguity, enjoy solving challenging engineering problems at scale, and yearn for greenfield problems, you'll fit right in. As a senior software engineer on marimo's core open source team, you’ll take ownership of projects across marimo's open-source ecosystem, focusing on marimo's backend and its Python ecosystem. You will influence critical decisions on library design, making sure our APIs remain simple yet composable; you'll also design new capabilities that push the boundaries of interactive computing without complicating the user experience. You'll work in the open, at a fast pace — engaging promptly and empathetically with a large and vocal community of users and contributors, triaging their issues and reading between the lines to understand their unstated needs. All the while, you'll exercise judgment to balance the needs of our community with our own roadmap and vision.
