Ollama is the most popular way for developers to access open models. What started as an open-source, local-first runtime is now the largest developer network in the open-model ecosystem: 8.9 million monthly active developers and over 67,000+ community-built integrations. We're backed by Y Combinator, Benchmark, 8VC, and Theory Ventures. Our team is small and talent dense. We're flat, low-ego, and fast-moving. We like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, design-driven, and who enjoy shipping code.

  • Partner with model labs and hardware companies to showcase user and business benefits

  • You have deep technical intuition and are an engineer at heart, comfortably writing clean code You have hands-on experience building with LLMs, framework integrations (like LangChain or LlamaIndex), and managing model configurations

  • You have exceptional communication skills, with a public portfolio of technical writing, recorded talks, or developer community programs

  • You have high ownership: you can take a complex engineering workflow from idea to a public-facing demonstration

  • You find comfort in a flat, fast-moving, and design-driven environment where shipping code in public is the default
