About the role

Today, most geospatial systems are built around flat imagery, incomplete elevation models, slow refresh cycles, or narrow-area surveys.
The world increasingly needs something better: accurate, frequently updated 3D information about the places, infrastructure, terrain, and activity that shape human decisions.
About the Job As Staff Software Engineer for data infrastructure, you will play a crucial role in designing and implementing the systems that process, analyze, and serve our satellite constellation's data to end-users.

Design and implement scalable distributed systems for processing and analyzing massive datasets from our satellite constellation.
Develop and optimize database schemas and storage solutions for managing petabyte-scale 3D geospatial data.
Architect and maintain high-performance APIs and services for efficient geospatial data streaming, querying, and analysis.
Lead the design and implementation of mechanisms for handling data ingestion, processing, and delivery pipelines.
Implement robust monitoring, logging, and operational systems to ensure reliability and performance of backend services.
Work with cross-functional teams to define technical requirements, architect solutions, and drive the backend roadmap in alignment with company goals.
Stay curious, collaborate openly, push boundaries as one team
Array is building that system.
We are developing a coordinated fleet of radar satellites designed to create high-resolution 3D data products of the Earth at unprecedented scale, speed, and reliability.
We design and build our satellites, radar payloads, sensing systems, and data products end-to-end.

Strong proficiency in backend languages (e.g., Python, C++, Java), experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, Terraform) and containerization technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes).
