Senior Software Engineer - Python

U.S - Remote

Who We Are

We exist to unlock human potential.

Too often, AI drains it—drains budgets, drains energy resources, drains ownership of data. OpenTeams was founded to change that. We build AI that empowers. Our models are energy-efficient, cost-effective, and fully yours. 

Our ethos is open source. That means freedom, trust, and accountability are built into every line of code. We reinvest 3% of our profits back into the open-source community, because we believe tech is most powerful when it serves everyone.

At our core, we value freedom, teamwork, accountability, and uncompromising quality. If you want to fight Goliath, and shape tools that set people free, OpenTeams is the place to do it.

  • Develop and enhance user interfaces to provide intuitive workflows for dataset analysis and model performance assessment
  • Collaborate closely with data scientists, ML engineers, and external product teams to translate complex evaluation requirements into scalable technical solutions
  • Provide technical mentorship and code review guidance to other engineers, fostering best practices in API design and platform integration
  • Establish and maintain clear documentation for APIs, integration patterns, and platform architecture to support team knowledge sharing
  • Optimize performance across integrated tools and design scalable solutions for growing datasets and model complexity

What We're Looking For

We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification listed. We value diverse perspectives and unconventional backgrounds.

  • Proven experience building and deploying software platforms with complex integrations, preferably in ML or data science environments
  • Strong Python skills including experience with API frameworks (we'll support your continued growth in areas you want to develop)
  • High level knowledge of computer vision and understanding of object detection and image classification model evaluation methodologies
  • Proven ownership of high-impact integration platforms or tools, with deep understanding of system architecture and performance optimization
  • Experience integrating multiple third-party tools and managing complex dependency chains while maintaining system stability
  • Demonstrated experience or potential for leadership, especially in guiding architecture decisions and mentoring other engineers on best practices
  • Excellent problem-solving skills for debugging complex issues across multiple integrated systems
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including data scientists, ML researchers, and external development teams

 

Bonus Points

(Not required, but nice to have)

  • Currently hold or able to maintain a DoD Secret clearance or higher
  • Exposure to full motion video techniques (e.g. object tracking)
  • Experience with cloud-native infrastructure (containerization, infrastructure-as-code)
  • Experience deploying complex software applications in IL-4, IL-5, and higher
  • Experience participating in security A&A processes, hardening systems, and remediating vulnerabilities
  • Familiarity with standards and processes such as RMF, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP
  • Frontend development experience (any framework)
  • Experience building frameworks around Large Language Model (LLM) deployment and fine-tuning, Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), Agentic AI systems or Model context protocol (MCP)
  • Previous experience contributing to open source projects and communities

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
