Descripción de la oferta

From smartphones to connected cars, location data is changing the way we live and the way business happens. CARTO is the platform that turns location data into more efficient delivery routes, better behavioural marketing, deforestation tracking, and more.
CARTO enables a type of advanced analytics specialized in spatial location. Our platform provides tools for visualization, data management, and analysis of large spatial datasets. We are one of the main contributors to free and open-source geospatial software, like PostGIS. We also ran one of the biggest clusters of PostGIS enabled databases in the world.
Backed by leading VC firms Accel Partners, Salesforce Ventures, Earlybird Ventures, and Kibo Ventures, CARTO is poised to lead the Location Intelligence space.
CARTO works with big private organizations like Google, Procter & Gamble, Mastercard, etc., but also with governments and NGOs to fight COVID-19 or climate change. We provide hundreds of grants to different organizations around sustainability and inequality issues. We believe spatial analytics will be critical for the future of our societies and environment.

With hundreds of thousands of users as of today, we are pioneering a new community of Spatial Data Scientists. Check out our yearly Spatial Data Science Conference.

What are we looking for

We are looking for a Principal Software Engineering to join our Data Engineering team and work on pioneer projects for data management, visualization, and analytics. An engineer who is passionate about working on databases and computing algorithms and who is also willing to impact hundreds of thousands of analysts and data scientists around the world.

There has been a lot of work done on adding spatial capabilities to relational databases. However, we are starting to see the trend moving towards next-generation data warehouses like Google BigQuery, Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, or open-source like Spark, Apache Drill, etc. These new distributed computing systems provide a unique opportunity to tackle really big spatial problems.

At CARTO, we are building the next-generation geospatial warehouse on top of the best data warehouses to take full advantage of performance and scalability capabilities and process huge datasets without moving data in and out of the platform.

One of the projects we are building is the Analytics Toolbox, which is a set of SQL functions and procedures to provide spatial analytics to data warehouses such as Google BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, and more. The toolbox contains several modules and capabilities: map tiler, data enrichment with our Data Observatory, routing, geocoding, spatial indexes, geospatial fundamentals, high-level analytics, etc. We are working closely with engineers from Google, Amazon, and Snowflake to achieve the best integration and performance and provide the best capabilities to our customers.

Now we are looking for a principal to join our talented team of engineers to organize and develop new features, make them available in other data warehouses, and integrate them with our platform to be consumed by data scientists and data engineers.
