Our mission is to connect companies to open-source communities to create sustainable solutions that benefit the whole ecosystem.

Quansight is rooted in the Python and PyData ecosystems. Our founders and team have had significant involvement in creating and maintaining projects such as CPython, NumPy, SciPy, Jupyter, Conda, Numba, and others. Our team of open-source maintainers, developers, and designers contributes to over 35 projects fundamental to scientific computing and data science.
Our mission is to make open-source software accessible, sustainable, and community-driven. We work with enterprise customers across industries to help them build effectively on open source, while ensuring their involvement strengthens the communities and projects they depend on.

We lead with transparency and accountability, work in the open, and trust each other to own outcomes. We actively seek diverse perspectives and start every collaboration by listening first.
Quansight is looking for a full-time remote Senior Infrastructure Engineer to join our team of open-source experts and software engineering professionals. This is a high-ownership, high-autonomy role where you will apply core infrastructure engineering principles such as scalability, observability, reliability, and automation across both internal systems and client engagements.
You will own Quansight's internal cloud infrastructure while serving as the technical lead on client-facing infrastructure engagements, helping clients design, implement, and maintain reliable, scalable solutions. You will also be expected to transfer knowledge to client teams so they can own what you build. This role suits someone comfortable moving between internal operations and external delivery, building systems that outlast their own involvement.
Active participation in open-source communities, as a maintainer or contributor, is a core part of this position. In line with our commitment and approach to open source, the successful candidate will be allocated between 40 and 50 per cent of their structural time to continue contributing to and maintaining existing open-source infrastructure projects.
