About the Role

We are looking for a Maps Product Engineer to strengthen the data foundation behind Radar's geocoding platform. You will own the systems that bring many sources of location data together into something reliable, accurate, and fresh, with the opportunity to bring AI into how we enrich and scale it. This is a broad role with deep ownership of the data layer, reaching across the geocoding stack from ingestion to serving.

Responsibilities

  • Help bring LLMs and agents into the data layer for enrichment, labeling, and quality, with the guardrails to keep them trustworthy
  • Range across the geocoding stack when the work calls for it, from the serving path in HorizonDB to the Node.js/TypeScript API
  • Have your work power over 1 Billion API calls / day
  • Talk to Radar customers and prospects, hear their feedback, incorporate it into your work and make them successful
