Anaconda is expanding its conda packaging ecosystem. As a Staff Software Engineer, you will help carry the toolchain that builds wheels for the Python ecosystem from prototype to production. You will shape technical strategy, build tooling, and collaborate with our pure Python wheels and distribution teams as the effort scales.

What you'll do: - Build and evolve the toolchain that compiles complex packages like NumPy, SciPy and PyTorch from source. - Create, review, and evolve conda recipes, build tooling, and release processes to keep compiled packages reliable at scale. - Partner with our Python wheels and distribution teams so both efforts stay in step as automation and infrastructure needs grow. - Mentor engineers on architecture, debugging, and packaging practices, sharing context as you go rather than hoarding it. - Lead postmortems, capacity planning, and incident response for build and distribution infrastructure. - Advise technical leadership on project scoping and delivery trade-offs, bringing full context before recommending a path. - Engage with AI-assisted development tools, such as Claude Code, including reviewing and validating AI generated code before it ships.

Your impact will be measured by: growth of Anaconda's compiled package catalog and reliability of the build/release pipeline; reduction in manual engineering through automation; cross-team adoption of packaging standards; time to resolution for build/distribution incidents.

What you need: - 10+ years of professional software development experience, including driving technical strategy
