About the Team
The marimo team develops marimo, an open-source reactive computational notebook for Python. Initially incubated with scientists at Stanford, marimo is now used by leading companies, labs, and universities around the world, with millions of monthly downloads and over 20,000 stars on our GitHub repository. The team also develops open-source extension packages and molab, a rapidly growing cloud-hosted notebook service. These efforts reinforce each other: improvements to the open-source notebook make molab better, while lessons from operating molab inform development of the open-source projects.
About the Role
We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the marimo team across the open-source ecosystem and molab. You will mentor engineers, provide regular feedback, and help develop their careers, while also helping hire and onboard new teammates.
