About us

Open source for a better world

Our mission is to create open-source software for data science, scientific research, and technical communication. We do this to enhance the production and consumption of knowledge by everyone, regardless of economic means.

Open since day one

RStudio (now Posit) was founded in 2009 with the vision of creating high quality open-source software for data scientists. We’ve grown exponentially over time but our culture remains unchanged. We invest heavily in open-source development, education, and the community with the goal of serving knowledge creators 100 years from now.

Our People

The code we live by

People who work with data deserve an inclusive and supportive community that’s sincerely interested in empowering them to do more. So do our employees. Here are some of the things that make Posit, Posit.

Open

We aim for transparency in the way we make and share tools—and the way we manage our company. We believe that great ideas come from anywhere—and that we’re better together.

Resourceful

Intelligence is more than ‘book smart’ or ‘tech smart.’ It’s a mindset. To better serve everyone in our community we value continuous learning, curiosity, and emotional intelligence.

Generous

We collaborate with our customers, the community, and each other with open hearts and minds. And we believe the effort, capital, and care we put out into the world benefits everyone in the end.

Lasting

We want to remain an independent company for the long term. We make investments with this goal in mind, starting with our people. Our benefits programs are designed to ensure the long-term wellbeing of our teams.

Join us

If you share our values, our commitment to data science, and our healthy obsession for open-source code, we’d love to meet you.
