RStudio is seeking a candidate for a Software Engineer to join the RStudio Package Manager team. RStudio Package Manager is software to organize and centralize packages for both R and Python, allowing our customers to share local packages and work with other public package repositories. It has unique functionality to navigate snapshots, restrict packages in use, and work offline. We solve the needs of data scientists while making life easier for IT admins. The team also manages the RStudio Public Package Manager service and System Requirements for R Packages.
We are looking to hire a Software Engineer to work primarily on backend code but with the ability also to make occasional front-end changes. We’re currently using Go, Vue, JavaScript, R, and Amazon Web Services, but we don’t expect that you know all of those on day one. You’ll be working with a team of four other Software Engineers supported by a QA Engineer and designer.
For this role, we’re looking for someone who has:
- 2+ years of experience building, shipping, and maintaining software in production. Significantly more experience is also welcome.
- Experience building web applications in a modern framework like Vue, React, Angular, or something similar.
- Experience writing automated tests and testable code.
About you
You share our commitment to building great software, and you have an appreciation for simplicity of design, clean code, and delightful user experiences. You love to learn and to help others succeed. You are humble, pragmatic, deliberate, and you have a keen sense of empathy for your customers and co-workers. You also have:
- Programming experience in a professional environment using a high-level, object-oriented language (Go, Python, Node.js Java, C#, or similar).
- Eagerness to understand a scalable systems architecture.
- Interest in the usability and design of UIs.
- A love of well-written documentation.
- A passion for leaving things better than you found them.

- We operate under a unique, sustainable business model: We have over 50% of our engineering dedicated to creating free and open source software. We are profitable, and we plan to be around decades from now.
