About Posit | The Open-Source Data Science Company

Posit creates exceptional software that helps individuals, teams, and organizations understand and make better decisions with data. We believe that analyses must be correct, transparent, and reproducible, and the best analyses require humans and AI to work together. We are driven to help solve the most important problems of our times with data, and we want to help everyone working on these problems, regardless of their means.
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 open, generous, and positive. We invest heavily in open-source development, education, and the community with the goal of serving knowledge creators 100 years from now.
We want Posit to serve a meaningful public purpose and we run the company for the benefit of our customers, employees, and the community at large. That’s why we’re designated as a Public Benefit Corporation. As a Certified B Corp, we must meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Our directors and officers have a fiduciary responsibility to address social, economic, and environmental needs while still overseeing our business goals.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We strive for financial independence so that we can make decisions that prioritize the long-term success of our community, customers, and employees, not short-term profit. We have a remarkable culture where employees choose to spend their careers.
If you share our values, our commitment to data science, and our healthy obsession for open-source code, we’d love to meet you.
