RStudio / engineering / USA / remote / full-time
RStudio creates great software that helps people understand data and make better decisions in real world applications. Our core is an open source data science toolchain, and we aim to make it available to everyone, regardless of their economic means.
RStudio Connect spreads the benefits of data science beyond just the analysts by supporting the building, publishing, distribution and consumption of data products (notebooks, charts, interactive applications, models and APIs) with repeatability and reliability.
The Connect team -- a talented and self-organizing group of about 15 product professionals -- is looking for software engineers to broaden its capabilities.
