Modern development is unthinkable without the use and advancement of open source technologies. At Yandex, we not only adapt open source solutions for use in our infrastructure but also actively improve such solutions and open-source the code of many of our systems.

We are looking for developers who are actively interested in the world of open source. You will help us integrate Arcadia—Yandex's monorepository—with the external world. You will gain extensive knowledge of popular open source solutions, be able to influence a large portion of Yandex's projects, and the heat map of your commits in both worlds will be a source of pride.

What tasks await you

• create infrastructure for synchronizing code between Arcadia and public git repositories;
• develop automations that help adapt open source projects in different languages for building and operating in our infrastructure;
• help Yandex developers diagnose and fix issues, advance open source solutions, and synchronize these improvements upstream.

We expect you to

• program in C++, Python, or Go at an expert level;
• be willing to learn at least one additional language;
• have good knowledge of the ecosystem of open source projects and build tools;
• be ready to independently solve complex tasks and see them through to completion;
• quickly understand others' code;
• be open to learning new technologies.

It will be a plus if you

• have developed compilers, debuggers, or interpreters;
• have a good understanding of the Linux OS architecture;
• have participated in the development of major open source projects;
• know more than one language from our backend languages: C++, Go, Python, or Java;
• have worked with NixOS.
