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.

About the Role
We're looking for a Full-Stack Platform Engineer to build both sides of an AI platform — the API surface other teams build on, and the interfaces analysts use directly.
The API comes first here, and that's a real constraint rather than a slogan: platform capabilities are consumed through documented interfaces by analysts, internal teams, and partner organizations using their own tools. If those interfaces are unstable or hard to reason about, adoption stalls regardless of what the platform can do underneath.
