--- title: About Pydantic - Our Mission, Team & Story description: How our hunger for reliable digital products fueled our ambition to turn a Python open source project into a leading agent framework & observability platform. canonical: https://pydantic.dev/about last-reviewed: '2026-07-16' --- > Markdown version of [About Pydantic](https://pydantic.dev/about) — the canonical HTML page. > > Site index: [/llms.txt](https://pydantic.dev/llms.txt) --- # Why we started Pydantic ## Driven by curiosity, frustration and coffee > I started working on Pydantic out of a mixture of frustration that type hints do nothing at runtime and curiosity as to whether they could be used to validate data. > > Turns out I was right (or lucky) and with Pydantic's crazy growth, the maintainers behind it now get to build other products with the same principles — that the most powerful tools can still be easy to use. — Samuel Colvin, Creator of Pydantic ([@samuelcolvin](https://github.com/samuelcolvin)) **Proudly backed by** Sequoia, Partech, and Irregular. ## Our team Bruno Espino, Peter Lesty, Samuel Colvin, David Montague, Jiri Kuncar, Jameson Lee, Victorien Plot, Marc, Nicola Martino, Chris Samiullah, Hasan Ramezani, Alex Cherednychenko, Daniel Cruz, Adrian Garcia Badaracco, Laura Summers, Anthony Abercrombie, Matthew Kim, Bill Easton, Rachel Peplow, Aditya Vardhan, Petyo Ivanov, Laís Carvalho, Marcelo Trylesinski, Karina Ung. ## Build developer tools loved the world over From our open source projects to enterprise solutions, we're building tools where the developer experience is our north star. If that sounds up your street, we'd love to hear from you. ### A few good reasons to join us - **Make your mark.** Help set the agenda, not just implement it — your ideas won't get lost in bureaucracy. Your contributions have the potential for outsized impact on this team. - **Lead.** We seek people who are opinionated and knowledgeable, and who are excited to design both the application and the way we build frontends. - **Work with great people.** Pydantic's widespread recognition means we've been lucky enough to hire some of the best Python and full stack developers in the world. - **Work remotely.** We're a remote-first company, although we get together in person roughly once a quarter for a week — usually abroad. - **Build developer tools.** We think there's nothing more fun to develop than tools for developers (we hope you agree). ## Join the team We're hiring for the following roles: - [Developer Success Engineer](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/developer-success-engineer) — Developer Success ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/developer-success-engineer.md)) - [Growth Data Analyst](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/growth-data-analyst) — Growth Analytics ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/growth-data-analyst.md)) - [Growth Engineer](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/growth-engineer) — Growth Engineering ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/growth-engineer.md)) - [Marketing Associate](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/marketing-associate) — Product Marketing & DevRel ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/marketing-associate.md)) - [Content Engineer](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/content-engineer) — Developer Experience ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/content-engineer.md)) - [Security & Compliance Lead](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/security-and-compliance-lead) — Logfire — Security & Compliance ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/security-and-compliance-lead.md)) - [Head of Growth](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/head-of-growth) — GTM & Growth ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/head-of-growth.md)) - [Agent Infrastructure Engineer](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/agent-infrastructure-engineer) — Logfire — AI Agents & Sandboxes ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/agent-infrastructure-engineer.md)) - [Evals & Continuous Learning Engineer](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/evals-continuous-learning-engineer) — Logfire — Evals & Continuous Learning ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/evals-continuous-learning-engineer.md)) - [Observability Experience Frontend Engineer](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/observability-experience-frontend-engineer) — Logfire — Frontend ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/observability-experience-frontend-engineer.md)) - [Principal DataFusion Engineer](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/principal-datafusion-engineer) — Logfire — Data Store ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/principal-datafusion-engineer.md)) - [Principal Software Engineer](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/principal-engineer-managed-ingest) — Logfire — Observability Ingest ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/principal-engineer-managed-ingest.md)) - [Technical Program Manager](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/technical-program-manager) — Logfire ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/technical-program-manager.md)) - [Senior Harness Engineer](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/senior-harness-engineer) — Pydantic AI ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/jobs/senior-harness-engineer.md)) All roles: https://pydantic.dev/jobs --- ## Explore Logfire - Sign up: https://logfire.pydantic.dev/login - Open source packages: https://github.com/pydantic - Get in touch: https://pydantic.dev/contact ([markdown](https://pydantic.dev/contact.md))
