About Anaconda
What is Anaconda?
Anaconda builds open-source and AI software for data scientists and developers. Its about page says "Peter Wang and Travis Oliphant founded Anaconda in 2012" and that "more than 50 million people use Anaconda, from students writing their first scripts to enterprises running AI in production". In 2026 the company grew through "three acquisitions in six months": Outerbounds (production orchestration built on Metaflow), Kilo Code (an open-source agentic coding platform) and Enkrypt AI (security and guardrails for AI models, agents, and MCP servers). Its adverts say the Anaconda AI Platform works "through a centralized approach to sourcing, securing, building, and deploying AI" and that the company is "backed by world-class investors including Insight Partners".
Where will I work?
Anaconda is remote-first: the careers page has a section titled "Our Remote-First Commitment" and every advert says the culture comes with "a fully remote setup". On 12 November 2026 the Rippling job board listed 21 open roles in nine departments: 13 in the United States (all marked remote; the Enterprise Account Executive for the Federal sector has to be located in Washington DC, Virginia or Maryland), four in the United Kingdom, two in Germany, two in Bengaluru, India and one in Singapore (one pre-sales role covers both the UK and Germany). Titles run from Staff Software Engineer, Security Engineer and Payroll Specialist to Alliances Director, Pre-Sales Solutions Engineer and Staff Talent Engineer. The contact page gives an Austin, TX office at 901 East 6th Street and a PO box in Berlin, and legal notices to Anaconda, Inc. go to an Austin address.
What is the Anaconda team like?
The about page names a leadership team that includes CEO David DeSanto and co-founder Peter Wang as Chief AI and Innovation Officer. The careers page lists four core values, "Curious by Default", "Build Together", "Own It" and "Lead With Guts & Heart", and the adverts promise "a high-performance environment where results are recognized and rewarded" alongside "a collaborative team that values diverse, thoughtful discussion, clarity and candor". Career growth is spelled out as Career Mapping ("clear pathways with transparent milestones and competencies"), Personalized Career Plans and a Safari Program for exploring other departments. The typical interview process is a recruiter call, a hiring manager interview and panel interviews, and some roles add assessments such as writing samples, coding challenges or a panel presentation.
Work-Life Balance
Flexibility is a stated company principle. The careers page says: "Flexibility isn’t just a perk — it’s at the core of how we operate. We focus on outcomes, not office hours, and we trust our employees to do their best work wherever they are." All 21 live adverts, across nine departments and five countries, add: "You'll be supported by a culture that puts employees first - with flexible hours, a fully remote setup, and a genuine commitment to your wellbeing and growth". No core-hours window or required overlap is published on the careers page or in any advert, but a few roles carry their own coverage duties: the Bengaluru Sr. Support Engineer advert lists "Carry on-call rotation for Enterprise customers requiring rapid response and resolution", the Sr. Integration Engineer advert says "respond to on-call escalations within contract SLAs", and the two Pre-Sales Solutions Engineer adverts ask for the "ability to work across regional time zones". Time off is a "Flexible vacation policy" with no number of days stated; the careers page also lists quarterly designated days off (Snake days) and "Six weeks paid sabbatical after seven years of continuous service".
