Change

How would you describe the priority of this feature request

Significant improvement

Please provide a clear description of problem this feature solves

Right now our dependencies are managed through requirements.txt style dependencies. Moving over to poetry will give us a more robust build system that allows us to introspect into dependency trees looking for potential conflicts and helping when we are trying to identify if we can bump a package version with minimal impact.

Describe the feature, and optionally a solution or implementation and any alternatives

We could also do a more conda-friendly build system if that's something the team wants to look into, but since we're currently on a pip-based installation method, I think moving to poetry makes the most sense.
