Who we are

Our company has its roots in the Python data science community. Our leaders have had significant involvement in the creation and maintenance of NumPy, SciPy, Jupyter, Spyder, Dask, Conda, Numba, Anaconda and PyData NumFOCUS. Our mission is to connect companies to open-source communities to create sustainable solutions that benefit the whole ecosystem.

We accomplish this mission by providing various services ranging from open-source software development to training and consulting. We believe in a culture of do-ers, learners, and collaborators. We are looking for people who are motivated, humble, curious, and respectful of others.

These deployments will range from cloud kubernetes deployments of JupyterHub and Dask gateway to on-premises hpc clusters. At Quansight we strive to make these deployments reproducible and testable thus we use common infrastructure as code tooling like terraform, vagrant, helm, and ansible.  All of our deployments revolve around data science workflows which use conda environments, JupyterHub, JupyterLab, and Dask. Your work will enable teams to do computations on large datasets. Working as a cloud infrastructure engineer, you will regularly use unix skills such as file permissions, managing file systems, networking, and user management.

  • Developing and managing Quansight hosted services such as discourse, QHub and helping to organize the many existing cloud projects and client accounts that Quansight works with.

  • Experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Comfort with at least one dynamic high-level programming language, preferably Python.
  • Familiarity with software engineering best practices – including unit tests, code review, version control, production monitoring, CI/CD etc.

Additionally one or more of the following skills will help you stand out

Why You Should Join

You’ll become an essential part of a small, collaborative, fully distributed engineering team. We strive to provide a working environment that gives you room to learn and grow.

Quansight draws from experience in many large open source communities over the years. Because these communities operate remotely and strive to be as inclusive and participatory as possible, they must also strive to be more transparent and systematic in communicating, sharing information, and working. We are building a culture at Quansight that follows these principles and builds upon them.

We offer flexibility in work times and locations, and vacation time is not just encouraged but celebrated and enforced.

We offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, vision, dental, 401K, a comprehensive sick policy, and flexible paid time off for full-time salary based employees.

Where applicable, if you are located outside of the United States, we will work with you to get similar benefits according to your geographical context.
