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 world's leading cloud-native spatial analysis
platform, built to break down the silos of traditional GIS. Trusted by data scientists, analysts, and developers from global brands such as IKEA, Coca-Cola, T-Mobile, Swiss Re, and AXA, CARTO enables organizations to run scalable spatial analysis directly on their cloud data warehouse. Providing insights for critical use cases like site selection, catastrophe modeling, network planning, and supply chain optimization.
Built by a diverse team of over 150 people across the US, APAC, and Europe, CARTO's cloud-native Agentic GIS platform provides a modern, future-proof alternative to legacy GIS. Offering a powerful suite of tools for visualization, analytics, and application development, our platform is redefining how companies work with location data. CARTO (backed by Insight Partners, Accel Partners, Salesforce Ventures, and Earlybird Ventures, among others) is fundamentally changing the way location data is analyzed, making it an integrated and accessible part of modern business intelligence.
To continue this growth, our CARTO Infrastructure team is looking for an enthusiastic SRE Engineer to help us scale up our groundbreaking CARTO Cloud-Native product.
In CARTO we know that the use of AI fosters innovation and delivers a superior product to users, that’s why we integrate cutting-edge AI tools throughout the software development lifecycle to enhance design, build, test, deploy, and maintain our spatial analytics platform.
If you love to be in contact with top engineers around the world in geospatial, this is your place!
This is a remote-first role, open to candidates based anywhere in Spain. We have offices in Madrid and Seville if you prefer to work in person or want a place to collaborate occasionally, but there's no expectation to use them.
