Job Description

About the role We're looking for Site Reliability Engineers to work on our production infrastructure. Radar is a high-throughput, data intensive application handling 1 billion+ API calls per day. Over the past year, Radar has been used from over 100M devices worldwide. We run a multi-availability zone architecture and a major initiative is to enhance our deployment to be multi-region. The stack: We use Terraform to manage our infrastructure. We deploy everything to AWS via EKS. We use MongoDB deployed to Atlas. We do CI and deployments via CircleCI. We monitor production with CloudWatch, grafana, Pingdom and PagerDuty. DNS is managed by CloudFlare. Most engineers are in the on-call rotation. Our main server languages are TypeScript and Rust. Our data pipelines are written in Airflow and Scala Spark. We sponsor OpenStreetMaps, MapLibre and OpenAddresses. How we work: Most 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. We 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. One 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. The hiring process: After a brief call with our CTO, we'll invite you to our NYC HQ for an interview if we think there is a possible match. During that time we'll work on system design problems together and do some coding for 2 hours to build something simple. You'll meet one of our co-founders and we'll also go into more depth about how we work to see if there is a match. What you’ll do: Work on core Radar infrastructure using Terraform all deployed to AWS via EKS Work on critical company-level initiatives, for example, 99.99+% availability, multi-region deployment, and cloud cost-saving activities Have your work be used by 100's of millions of devices Be part of the on-call rotation (one week rotation every 1-2 months) Talk to Radar customers and prospects, hear their feedback, incorporate it into your work and make them successful You should: Have experience managing a production AWS environment via Terraform Have experience with high availability multi-region production infrastructure running on Kubernetes Have experience managing large sharded Mongo clusters with heavy read-write workloads Have experience at a high growth startup Be interested in talking to customers or prospects and making them successful Bonus points if you: Are a former technical co-founder Have experience with high throughput data intensive applications You’ll work with Tim Julien , CTO Dai Shi , Senior Staff SRE Our Engineering, Customer Success, Sales Engineering and Sales teams Our customers and prospects Benefits & Perks : Competitive compensation package and equity plan Medical, dental, and vision plans with 100% premiums covered for you 401(k) plan with a generous employer match Unlimited PTO vacation policy Paid parental leave Weekly catered breakfast and lunch at our NYC office Free CitiBike membership (if based in tri-state area) Monthly fitness reimbursement and wellness programs via Classpass and Gympass Compensation: For candidates based in the United States, the base salary range for this full-time position is between $150,000 - $250,000/year with an opportunity for performance bonuses and incentives.
