Python OSS Engineer

At LangChain, our mission is to make intelligent agents ubiquitous. We build the foundation for agent engineering in the real world, helping developers move from prototypes to production-ready AI agents that teams can rely on. We began as widely adopted open-source tools and have grown to also offer a platform for building, evaluating, deploying, and operating agents at scale.

With $125M raised at Series B from IVP, Sequoia, Benchmark, CapitalG, and Sapphire Ventures, we’re at a stage where we’re continuing to develop new products, growth is accelerating, and all team members have meaningful impact on what we build and how we work together. LangChain is a place where your contributions can shape how this technology shows up in the real world.

Today, LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, and Fleet are used by teams shipping real AI products across startups and large enterprises. Millions of developers trust LangChain to power AI teams at companies like Replit, Clay, Coinbase, Workday, Lyft, Cloudflare, Harvey, Rippling, Vanta, and 35% of the Fortune 500.

The Python Open Source team maintains and evolves the core LangChain Python ecosystem used by millions of developers worldwide. We focus on building reliable, well-designed abstractions for developing AI agents and integrating them with real-world tools and systems. The team works closely with the open-source community, incorporating feedback and contributions while ensuring the core libraries remain stable, scalable, and production-ready. Our work defines the developer experience for building AI applications with Python.
