Senior Software Engineer, Core Open-Source- Marimo

What You’ll Do

At marimo, we’re on a mission to make the world’s best open‑source programming environment for working with data, together with a world‑class, scalable, and performant cloud‑hosted counterpart. marimo is a reinvention of the Python notebook — it feels like a next‑gen reactive Python notebook, but is stored as pure Python that can be versioned with Git, deployed as a data app, run as a script, and reused as a module.

As a senior software engineer on marimo’s core open source team, you’ll take ownership of projects across marimo’s open‑source ecosystem, focusing on marimo’s backend and its Python ecosystem. You will influence critical decisions on library design, ensuring our APIs remain simple yet composable; you’ll also design new capabilities that push the boundaries of interactive computing without complicating the user experience. You’ll work in the open, at a fast pace — engaging promptly and empathetically with a large and vocal community of users and contributors, triaging their issues and reading between the lines to understand their unstated needs. All the while, you will exercise judgment to balance the needs of our community with the roadmap and vision.

Description of the Team

The marimo core open source team develops and maintains the marimo open source notebook, including the editor frontend, backend (data flow compiler and runtime), an intermediary server, the marimo library, and related projects such as a VS Code extension and CodeMirror extensions.
