Who We Are
Every organization runs on intelligence: years of accumulated knowledge, decisions, and context. As AI takes on more of that work, companies face a choice: rent that intelligence from vendors who keep the data, the context, and the results, or own it.
OpenTeams exists to make ownership possible.
Founded by Travis Oliphant, creator of NumPy and SciPy, and built by people with deep roots across the open-source ecosystem, including NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch, and Jupyter, we help enterprises and governments build AI they control, govern, and evolve themselves.
If that sounds like your kind of work, we'd like to meet you.

Areas of Interest
We welcome interest from people whose backgrounds align with our work, including:
Backend, frontend, and full-stack software engineering
AI/ML engineering, applied AI, and model optimization
AI test and evaluation, robustness, and reliability
Platform engineering, distributed systems, and ML infrastructure
Infrastructure, cloud, DevOps, DevSecOps, and SRE
Data engineering, integrations, and knowledge/retrieval applications
Solutions architecture and forward deployed engineering
Technical project/program management and delivery leadership
Systems engineering and internal technology operations
Python packaging, developer tooling, and supply chain security
Open source development, maintenance, and community engagement
Product, UX, technical writing, developer relations, sales, and other business functions
You may also indicate interest in internships or early-career opportunities. Availability will depend on future hiring needs.
Relevant Skills & Technologies
Depending on the role or project, relevant experience may include:
Python, NumPy, SciPy, pandas, scikit-learn, and PyTorch
JavaScript/TypeScript, frontend frameworks, backend services, and API design
Jupyter, Nebari, conda, Python packaging, and reproducible environments
Linux, containers, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, and infrastructure as code
CI/CD, automated testing, monitoring, reliability, and secure delivery
AI/ML workflows, model serving, evaluation, retrieval, and data pipelines
Authentication, authorization, SSO, and identity integrations
Technical requirements, delivery planning, client communication, and engineering tradeoffs
These are examples of relevant specialties, not a checklist of required qualifications. Share your strongest skills and the work you would like to pursue.
Commercial & Government Opportunities
OpenTeams supports both commercial clients and government organizations. Opportunities may be remote, hybrid, or onsite, with location and travel requirements that vary by role.
Some government opportunities require U.S. citizenship, a current security clearance, or the ability to undergo a government-sponsored clearance process. Requirements are specific to the position. You do not need a clearance to express general interest in OpenTeams.
What We Value
We value curiosity, ownership, clear communication, collaboration, and practical problem-solving. Relevant experience may come from employment, consulting, research, education, personal projects, or open source contributions.
Contributions can include code, documentation, testing, design, accessibility, or community support.
