Felt is building a cloud-based geographic information systems (GIS) solution and have hundreds of customers already using it to run their operations, processing terabytes of data. Our team hails from Uber, Google, Meta, CARTO, Mapbox, The New York Times and a few others. If you have used online maps in the past few years, you have used their work. My co-founder and CEO, Sam, is a former YC founder who sold his previous company [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.
We are on the lookout for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer who will help build our GIS architecture in the cloud. Felt built the world's most advanced cloud-native GIS systems. We are able to processes almost all types vector, raster, and tabular data you can throw at it. You can throw a basic CSV or a multi-band raster file with NDVI encoding. Felt can also natively connect to STAC repositories, process data from your Snowflake installations, or download things from your Redshift.
We are looking for a senior or a staff level engineer who will help us take this architecture to next level. We are always adding support more types of files and connectors. We also have some ongoing projects to make this infrastructure more modular and work in VPCs.
Ideal candidates will have experience working with GIS tools such as Rasterio, GDAL, Shapely as well as AWS primitives such as Cloudformation, CDK, and Lambda. Experience building infrastructure of either kind is a plus!
We are well-funded and just raised our $15M Series A. You can read more about it our funding here [5], and our announcement here [6]. Our terms are employee-friendly terms such as early exercise, a 10-year exercise window and even a matching 401(k).[7]
If you are interested, please reach out via hello@felt.com and mention HN and Infrastructure role.
