Sustainability Engineer - PyPI
Python Software Foundation
The Python Software Foundation (PSF) is hiring a contract Sustainability Engineer, PyPI reporting to the PSF's Director of Engineering. The mission of the Python Software Foundation is to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language, and to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers. In support of our mission, the PSF manages the infrastructure that provides resources and downloads on python.org, documentation on docs.python.org, packages on pypi.org, and more.
Overview
This role will be focused on building features in Warehouse, PyPI's codebase. The goal is straightforward: make PyPI financially sustainable so it doesn't depend entirely on donations and sponsorships. We launched PyPI organization accounts in 2025 as our first revenue stream, so there's already some groundwork laid.
Most of your time goes to shipping features that help sustain PyPI and the PSF. You'll write Python, work with the packaging ecosystem's standards process when new features need upstream changes, and deal with the unglamorous parts: billing integrations, access control edge cases, storage and CDN costs.
The tricky part isn't technical. It's figuring out what PyPI can offer to free users as well as organizations. You'll be part of those decisions, which means understanding what commercial tools offer, what enterprises actually need, and how to generate revenue while keeping the PSF’s mission first. PyPI is free infrastructure that millions of people depend on. We have an opportunity to make it more powerful for organizations, which will help sustain the foundation, as well as free users.
Core Responsibilities
Build and ship features in Warehouse, PyPI's codebase
Billing integrations, access control, storage and CDN work
Write Python, review PRs, ship user-facing changes
Coordinate with the Infrastructure Engineer on deployment, scaling, and operational concerns
Collaborate with PSF and PyPI security engineers on security-related features and concerns
Work closely with the PyPI Support Specialist to address PyPI Organizations, user-reported security concerns and escalate issues appropriately
Interface with PyPI stakeholders about user and community needs
Occasional on-call responsibilities, shared with the Engineering team as it relates to PyPI
Product Work
Help decide what PyPI offers to free users and organizations
Research what commercial offerings provide and where PyPI fits
Talk to enterprise users and translate their needs into features worth building
Balance revenue goals with PyPI's mission as free infrastructure
Standards & Ecosystem
Work with the packaging ecosystem's standards process when features need upstream changes
Coordinate with Packaging Council and other packaging stakeholders
Qualifications
Solid Python experience, comfort with web frameworks, and enough frontend knowledge to ship user-facing features end-to-end. Familiarity with Python packaging and infrastructure concerns like object storage and CDN architecture. Product instincts help since you'll talk to enterprise users and translate their problems into features worth building. Experience working with open source communities is a plus.
Required: Proficiency with Python web frameworks, base understanding of HTML/CSS/JavaScript, software testing.
Desired: Proficiency with PostgreSQL, proficiency in HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and the Pyramid web framework, Python 3.14+, Pytest, object storage
Details
Location: Global remote
Compensation: $75-$180K (Based on experience and local employment package norms. US employees are eligible for healthcare and other benefits)
Type: Contract (Full-time, 1 year), with possibility of renewal
