Hiring for ~10 eng roles listed at astronomer.io/careers, but the focus is specifically on distributed systems, observability, and applied AI.
Astronomer is a primary contributor to Apache Airflow and offers our customers a managed Airflow service with a similar business model as Databricks with Spark or Confluent with Kafka. Our tech stack is primarily Go, Python, and TypeScript. The problems we work on generally center around (1) building out our commercial managed Airflow offering, (2) building a data + infra observability stack on top of Airflow, and (3) building AI products and experiences that are genuinely load-bearing and additive to our customers experience on the platform.
We're also starting to write more about the work we're doing, this is pretty representative: https://www.astronomer.io/blog/astro-airflow-re-engineered-for-speed-and-scale
