About the role

  • At Raad, we move and ship at a blistering pace.
  • You'll be the counterweight to the chaos that ensues - a detail-obsessed and process-driven engineer who brings stability.
  • This person will face foundational problems in geospatial systems that nobody has solved:

Responsibilities

  • How do we manage to ingest, QC, and stream millions of high-resolution drone camera files from hundreds of pilots who have completely heterogeneous networks, browsers, hardware, and bandwidths?
  • How do we optimize our storage and processing (creating maps from underlying JPEGs) stack, balancing cost, redundancy, and throughput?
  • Manage Raad's infrastructure and networking stack
  • Build out our entire internal dashboard, APIs to pipe data to customers, and worker. queues for mission dispatch, data uploads, and QC.

Requirements

  • Comfort in high-speed, low-spec environments.
  • Ability to debug production incidents without panic.
  • Familiarity with arcGIS, Sidekiq, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS-adjacent infrastructure.
  • Deep Ruby on Rails experience.
  • Obsession with clarity, code hygiene, and maintainability.
  • Founding-team equity and real influence on the product's architecture.
  • A seat next to the CTO, shaping every technical decision.
  • The chance to work on code that touches the physical world, literally aircraft in motion.
  • Fast feedback loops, zero bureaucracy, no Jira theater.
  • A team that values intensity, ownership, and precision over resume lines.
  • Benefits, vacation
  • If this sounds like you, send an email to teej@raad.com with A) a resume and B) if applicable, any personal projects that you are proud of.

Nice to have

  • Curiosity about drones, mapping, or geospatial data (nice to have, not required).

Company info

  • And how do we expose this data cleanly and predictably through APIs, so our enterprise customers can consume it directly in their own GIS, underwriting, and asset management systems?
