That's where you come in.\nAbout the role\nWe're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a distributed SRE team to work on our production infrastructure. You will be responsible for supporting a team and driving a roadmap that makes Radar’s services scalable and highly available worldwide. Radar is a high-throughput, data intensive application handling 1 billion+ API calls per day. Over the past year, Radar has been used on over 300MM devices worldwide. We run a multi-availability zone architecture and a major initiative is to enhance our deployment to be multi-region.\nThe stack:\nWe use Terraform to manage our infrastructure.\nWe deploy everything to AWS via EKS.\nWe use MongoDB deployed to Atlas.\nWe do CI and deployments via CircleCI.\nWe monitor production with CloudWatch, Grafana, Pingdom and PagerDuty.\nDNS is managed by CloudFlare.\nMost engineers are in the on-call rotation.\nOur main server languages are TypeScript and Rust.\nOur data pipelines are written in Airflow and Scala Spark.\nWe sponsor OpenStreetMaps, MapLibre and OpenAddresses.\nHow we use AI:\nEngineers choose what AI tools they use, Claude and Codex being the most popular.\n\nWe're actively building Claude skills - for example we've taught it how to debug HorizonDB, our geospatial database.\n\nAll code changes are reviewed by an Engineer knowledgeable in that area. Claude and Codex also review all PRs.\n\nThere is a range of how much engineers use AI. Most use it daily if not weekly.\n\nWe are excited about what AI can do, but we also recognize the risks and don't compromise our coding standards.\n\nHow we work:\nMost of our engineering team are former technical co-founders or former Radar interns from schools like Waterloo and CMU. Most engineers at Radar fit one of two molds, technically: either Staff level expertise in one stack, or Multi-Stack at any level. We say Multi-Stack because \"Full-Stack\" has the connotation of \"Frontend and Backend\", but Radar Engineers might also work on Mobile or Data engineering. Not that you need to be an expert in all of those, but a desire to learn, jump around to different stacks and get things done is the important part.\nWe care a lot about shipping fast and talking to customers. We're committed to our product vision of full-stack location infrastructure, but we also know that customer feedback is a treasure map to gold. Even though Slack is the brain of our company, working together in-person in our NYC HQ is the fastest way for us to get things done. We meet on Mondays to plan out work for the week in small groups and use Linear for planning. All projects are run by an Engineering lead, an executive and a Go-to-Market lead. Engineers figure out what to build, talk to customers, talk to prospects, help close them, get them live and make them successful.\nOne of the hardest and most valuable practices we have is Walk A Mile - which is shorthand for putting yourself in the user's shoes - but also for literally walking a mile and dogfooding the Radar SDK, because you can't create location infrastructure behind a desk - you have see how the device behaves in the real world. To us, a week is a long time, and we expect to ship big things every week.\nThe hiring process:\nAfter a call with our Technical Recruiter, you'll do several technical Zoom calls with members of our engineering team: code screen, coding round, and system design round. If those go well we'll invite you to our NYC HQ for a final round interview. You'll meet one of our co-founders, someone from outside engineering, and meet more people from Radar. We'll go into more depth about how we work to see if there is a match.\nWhat you’ll do:\nManage, grow, and mentor a globally distributed SRE team\n\nBe responsible for our observability, monitoring, and incident management practices\n\nWork on core Radar infrastructure using Terraform all deployed to AWS via EKS\n\nWork with our product, data, platform, and security engineers to ensure the development of highly-available, scalable, and reliable software\n\nChampion automation and self-service capabilities over manual processes, and have grounded perspectives on AI-assised tooling\n\nDrive critical company-level initiatives, for example, 99.99+% availability, multi-region deployment, and cloud cost-saving activities\n\nEnsure compliance and security by default in our processes and infrastructure by partnering with our GRC and security teams\n\nHave your work be used by 100's of millions of devices\n\nBe part of the on-call rotation\n\nTalk to Radar customers and prospects, hear their feedback, incorporate it into your work and make them successful\n\nYou should:\nBe able to get your hands dirty and dive deep into production issues\n\nHave experience managing a production AWS environment via Terraform\n\nHave experience with high availability multi-region production infrastructure running on Kubernetes\n\nHave experience managing large sharded Mongo clusters with heavy read-write workloads\n\nHave experience at a high growth startup\n\nBe interested in talking to customers or prospects and making them successful\n\nBonus points if you:\nAre a former technical co-founder\n\nHave experience with high throughput data intensive applications\n\nYou’ll work with\nTim Julien, CTO\n\nLeo Kim, VP Platform Engineering\n\nOur Engineering, Customer Success, Sales Engineering and Sales teams\n\nOur customers and prospects\n\nWhat we offer:\nCompetitive salary\n\nMeaningful stock options in a fast-growing company\n\n401(k) plan with 4% match\n\nNew HQ in Flatiron, NYC\n\nTop-notch equipment\n\nCatered lunches\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\nHealth, dental, and vision insurance with 100% coverage for employees\n\n12 weeks of paid parental leave\n\nCommuter and fitness benefits\n\nWe’ll share full details of our benefits package at the offer stage.
