Everything happens somewhere - which is why spatial analytics is fundamental to companies trying to understand the “where” and the “why” of their business. CARTO is the leading cloud-native location intelligence platform, trusted by data scientists, data analysts and developers from companies such as Vodafone, IKEA, BT, Coca-Cola and Mastercard to provide geospatial insights for use cases such as site selection, geomarketing, route optimization, network planning and much more.

With an exceptionally diverse team of 170 people spread across the US and Europe, CARTO (backed by Accel Partners, Salesforce Ventures, Earlybird Ventures, and Kibo Ventures, among others) is changing the way companies analyze location data - making it simple to do this straight out of modern, cloud data warehouses. Redefining its category, the company has grown rapidly in recent years providing a compelling alternative to legacy GIS software.

CARTO with its new CARTO 3 platform has built the most advanced location intelligence platform which connects directly to the most used Data Warehouses in the industry such as Google’s BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Snowflake and Databricks; thus, allowing our partners and customers to do location intelligence and geospatial analysis directly where their data lives opening limitless possibilities for their businesses.

We are looking for an experienced Backend Engineer to join CARTO’s product team to build the next generation geospatial platform running on top of the most popular data warehouses: BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift and Databricks.

Our mission is to provide an easy way to work with geospatial data on those data warehouses, we want to compute on them because it allows our customers to work with huge datasets (hundred of GBs or TBs) and because our customers don’t need to move their data out of their warehouses.

The CARTO Workspace now includes a tool that provides a visual language to design and execute multi-step spatial analytics procedures: CARTO Workflows. With Workflows, CARTO is leading the way in the mission to bring spatial analytics to a broader audience of data analysts and business users, and to democratize access to advanced Location Intelligence.
