Candidates should have deep experience with Rust, Python, open source, or developer tools. While strong candidates are expected to be proficient in these areas, prior experience in Rust or Python is not mandatory, as we have successfully hired candidates without it.
Generalist engineers at Astral will help build the future of Python by working on projects that span from low-level Rust optimizations to high-level user experience design. They will engage with the community as open source maintainers, reviewing pull requests, debugging issues, and contributing to a culture of developing in the open.
