The Role:

Build software that Astro users love: As an early team member, your voice will be essential in shaping the product and the roadmap, and your decisions will have immediate and far-reaching impact. Move fast, prioritize ruthlessly, and always focus on the end user experience.

Build in public: Astro is a uniquely community-driven open source project. Participate in RFC calls, run community events, and embed yourself in our amazing communities on GitHub and Discord. Get paid to work on open source software!
Define best practices: Build out the systems, frameworks and habits that will serve as guide rails for the entire engineering team as we grow.
