Summary

Astronomer has relocated its headquarters to 50 West 23rd Street in New York City to better engage with the open-source community and its growing customer base, while maintaining a presence in Cincinnati. The move provides Astronomer access to New York's vibrant tech scene and a larger talent pool, which aligns with its plans to expand its team and fill sales and engineering roles. The new office, equipped with collaborative spaces and a view of the Empire State Building, supports the company's growth and ambition to host community events, especially as Apache Airflow® downloads soar to 30 million a month. This relocation follows a year of momentum for Astronomer, marked by an expanded leadership team, an increased customer base, and several product innovations, including updates to the Astro platform and new integrations with Apache Airflow® and Microsoft Azure, enhancing data orchestration and AI capabilities. The company was also recognized as one of CRN’s Hottest Big Data Startups of 2023.
