Structured Hybrid

Astronomer's Remote Policy

From the Astronomer careers page: "We're a globally distributed team of engineers, builders, and go-to-market obsessives." The page adds: "HQ in NYC, with offices in major cities around the world. Some roles are in-office, others are flexible", noting that "our spaces are always there when you want them."

Most current postings are hybrid, with two to four office days a week set per role at hubs such as New York, Boston, London or Hyderabad; a smaller number are remote.

Why Astronomer

Astronomer's engineers work on the open-source project as well as the commercial product. The company keeps members of the Apache Airflow project management committee on staff and describes itself as a major contributor to the project, so infrastructure work here feeds directly into a standard that data teams everywhere build on. Its recruiting pitch is blunt: "Come build what AI runs on."

Two stated values set the tone inside. AI native means the platform powers production AI and the team uses AI to move faster. Collaboration without politics means engineering, product, sales, marketing and customer success operate as one team; in the company's words, "Handoff culture doesn't exist here." Some engineering postings ask for people who are comfortable in a distributed environment and actively promote knowledge sharing. Astronomer started in Cincinnati and moved its headquarters to New York City in 2024, while keeping a presence in the city where it began.
