Our Values

Our core values guide every decision we make, setting the foundation for how we support and engage with our employees, customers, communities, and partners.

Empathy

We're humans first. We seek to understand why people do what they do and believe that innovation comes from human-centric questions, discoveries, and decisions. We act with compassion and build trust by owning our impact on the people and systems around us.

Inclusion

We welcome diverse perspectives and value our differences. We're intentional about cultivating a respectful and welcoming environment with no ceiling on opportunity. Collaboration is our superpower.

Agility

We're a multi-disciplined team that’s focused on execution but nimble enough to adapt as the needs of our company, industry, and world evolve. We see change as opportunity.

Grit

We are energetic problem-solvers. We roll up our sleeves and figure it out as we go, navigating ambiguity with resilience. We’re powered by a shared sense of purpose and commitment to delivering excellence.

Curiosity

We’re humble learners with deep curiosity about the world, technology, and each other. We're active listeners and questioners, skilled at breaking down complex problems and making sense of them. We're unafraid to challenge the past and present, and are driven in the pursuit of truth and continuous improvement.

Transparency

Openness is at the core of everything we do. We disrupt knowledge silos and seek feedback early and often. We take pride in contributing our work to the open-source community and owning our role as educators.

Our Benefits

Because Astronomer is people powered.

Remote Friendly

At Astronomer, you can work from anywhere, on your own time. And if you’re in a city with an office, it’s there (and stocked with snacks) when you need it. You’ll have co-workers in over 40 states and 15 countries around the world.

Excellent Health Insurance

Astronomer partners with Cigna to provide top-notch health, dental, and vision insurance at little to no cost for individuals and at competitive rates for your dependents. Plus, disability and life insurance policies in case something happens.

Unlimited Vacation

Take as much time as you need to unwind and take a step back from your day-to-day with us. Know that we do track vacation days and actively encourage people to take it. On average, Astronomers take 20 days of vacation per year.

Parental Leave

Astronomer is supportive of those bringing kiddos into the world. You can count on a generous parental leave and return policy for all families in the U.S., and policies that abide by local government regulations for those working outside of the U.S.

Tech, Wifi, & Phone Stipend

We want to equip you with what you need to get the job done. When you start, you get a laptop of your choice and a stipend to help with your work-from-home setup. Plus, a monthly $170 pre-tax stipend intended to cover your cellphone and WiFi bills.

Learning and Community

Community is a huge part of what we do. In addition to our yearly internal summit for all employees, you’ll get regular access to conferences, workshops, and meetups in the ecosystem.
