Who We Are

OpenTeams is the services marketplace where open source software users can find, vet, and contract with service providers. At OpenTeams 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. In order to meet the demands of our high growth business, we are looking for talented individuals to provide insights, solutions, and strategy to our internal leadership team and client partners. 

What You Will Do

Our development team is growing.  We have an opening for a Senior Software Engineer with seven or more years experience developing complex, large-scale products in Python.

The ideal candidate is a sharp, creative, self-starter that thrives on solving problems on their own but that isn't reluctant to ask for suggestions or guidance when roadblocks appear.  You have an inquisitive nature and want to understand why things work as they do, not just how to do it.  A solid understanding of computing fundamentals (operating systems, programming languages, algorithms, etc.)  guides your thought process, designs, and implementations.  You like to pursue assignments to completion and don't like to leave loose ends.

As a member of our backend team, you'll be responsible for designing and developing new features for Partners products -- a sophisticated, large-scale, job orchestration system for data pipelines written in Python. Your experience and knowledge will allow you to make significant contributions to product architecture as well as improvements to product performance, usability, deployment, and scalability.

We follow a lightweight but effective development process that includes twice weekly standups, design and code reviews, 100% test coverage, automated scans for common mistakes (e.g, pylint, flake8), and CI workflows that ultimately create the Docker containers that we deploy.

If you are so inclined, there's ample opportunity to get involved with our devops group, look for ways to improve documentation and related tools, or increase your amount of interaction with customers.
