About Anaconda Be at the center of AI Anaconda is built to advance AI with open source at scale, giving builders and organizations the confidence to increase productivity, and save time, spend and risk associated with open source. Backed by Insight.
About the role
You'll join a small, focused team building the toolchain that compiles these packages from source. As our Staff Software Engineer, you'll help carry that work from prototype to production: shaping technical strategy, building out the tooling, and working closely with our pure Python wheels and distribution teams as the effort scales. The application deadline for this role is 10/24/2026; applicants will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the role is filled.
What they're looking for
- Build and evolve the toolchain that compiles complex packages like NumPy, SciPy and PyTorch from source, moving the effort from research into production
- Create, review, and evolve conda recipes, build tooling, and release processes that keep compiled packages reliable at scale
- Partner with our pure Python wheels and distribution teams so both efforts stay in step as automation and infrastructure needs grow
- Mentor engineers on architecture, debugging, and packaging practices, sharing context as you go
- Lead postmortems, capacity planning, and incident response for build and distribution infrastructure
- Advise technical leadership on project scoping and delivery trade offs, bringing full context before recommending a path
More about this role
Anaconda has always built and shipped conda packages. Now we're expanding into wheels, the format used across the wider Python ecosystem, so builders who would otherwise go to PyPI or conda-forge for a package can find it with us instead. That shift has already taken our catalog from around 2,000 packages to more than 6,000, and wheels.
