About the job

Astral

At Astral, our mission is to enhance the productivity of the Python ecosystem by developing innovative developer tools that empower developers to deliver exceptional software more efficiently.

We have successfully launched Ruff, a lightning-fast Python linter and formatter, and uv, a robust Python package manager , both of which are among the fastest-growing tools in the developer community.

Our ongoing initiatives include pioneering a state-of-the-art type checker and expanding our first hosted services.

Our founding team comprises the creators of ripgrep, bat, hyperfine, and maturin; early contributors to Biome and Prefect; along with several CPython core developers , all innovating at the nexus of Rust and Python.

The Role

We are seeking backend and infrastructure engineers to spearhead the development of our inaugural hosted product.

This role involves a full-stack, greenfield project to create an entirely new product that seamlessly integrates with Astral's open-source tools. You will collaborate with a small, dynamic team, working closely with our CEO and iterating rapidly alongside top-tier design partners.

In this position, you will have a substantial impact on the technical stack and strategic direction of the product, potentially overseeing any (or all) of the following:

  • Architecting and implementing our cloud infrastructure stack (e.g., cloud providers, hosting, deployment) with a strong emphasis on scalability and efficiency.

  • Developing our deployment system, encompassing monitoring, metrics, and observability while managing incident response and triage.

  • Creating and optimizing our cloud storage and content delivery strategies.

  • Fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.

About Astral

Astral is at the forefront of developing next-generation tools for Python developers, with a commitment to enhancing productivity and fostering innovation in the software development landscape. We are dedicated to creating an environment where creativity and collaboration thrive.
