Senior Open-source Rust engineer (Remote)

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our tight-knit team with a mission to work on our impactful open source developer tools. We are building a revolutionary package manager - pixi - and a huge ecosystem around it from package hosting to cloud deployment in order to cover the entire software development lifecycle.

This isn’t just a coding gig—it’s a chance to lead, innovate, and leave a lasting imprint on tools that developers worldwide rely on. You’ll use Rust’s full potential to build robust, elegant solutions, collaborate closely with the open-source community, and drive the evolution of our projects based on real-world feedback. This is a role for someone who thrives on solving hard, low-level systems-programming problems.

Responsibilities

• You're passionate about the user experience of open-source software.
• You’re a Rust aficionado, with battle-tested experience building performant, reliable systems.
• You’ve tinkered with (or mastered) build tools like conda-build, cmake, cargo, meson, conan, go, ruby, bazel, or buck — and you’re hungry to dive deeper.
• You sweat the details, prioritizing correctness and performance without compromise.
• You’re a natural communicator, energized by engaging with the open-source community.
• You’re a team player and thrive by working together with like-minded developers.
• You live for the thrill of creating developer experiences that spark joy and productivity.

About Us

We’re a team focused on building tools that simplify and improve developer workflows, with a specific focus on the Conda ecosystem, which plays a vital role in machine learning and data science. Our projects aim to solidify user experience and expand the ecosystem to support new technologies and use cases.

Why This Is Your Dream Job:

• Impact That Matters: Shape tools that empower thousands of developers in the ML and data science ecosystems.
• Competitive Compensation: Earn €80,000 – €110,000 per year, commensurate with your expertise.
• Awesome Team: Join a collaborative crew that thrives on shared knowledge and mutual respect.
• Creative Freedom: Take ownership of early-stage projects and steer their direction — your vision will define their future.
• Work Your Way: Remote flexibility — because we trust you to deliver brilliance, not punch a clock.
