• Rackner is looking for a Software Engineer to develop and deliver first class solutions within a DevSecOps environment using latest cloud-native technologies to architect and implement containerized applications, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes platforms using best practices and leading technologies with a Secret clearance or eligibility to obtain one. • As part of an Agile team, use DevSecOps best practices to rapidly develop and deliver first class solutions for a DoD customer. • Develop software using leading languages and frameworks including Python and FastAPI, AWS, and Rancher Kubernetes.

• Own and evolve the technical direction of the consumer platform, setting long-term architectural vision while making pragmatic, day-to-day technical decisions • Make high-leverage architectural decisions across a modern TypeScript ecosystem, balancing speed, scalability, product quality, and long-term maintainability • Serve as the technical “north star” for the pod through design reviews, code reviews, and deep technical guidance • Stay deeply hands-on in the codebase, contributing to complex features, debugging production issues, and driving system design work end-to-end • Partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership to shape roadmaps, challenge assumptions, and translate ambiguous problems into clear technical direction • Raise the bar for engineering quality across performance, reliability, testing strategy, observability, and developer experience • Actively mentor engineers by modeling strong engineering judgment • Define and operationalize AI-assisted engineering workflows that meaningfully increase team velocity (not just individual productivity), using tools like Cursor, Codex, Claude, and others • Participate in hiring and interviewing, helping to maintain a high technical bar of the organization • Collaborate across engineering teams to influence shared systems, infrastructure, and cross-cutting platform decisions

• The Analytics Toolbox framework. Shape how spatial analytics is packaged, versioned, and pushed down into partner engines — and what it looks like when the consumer is an LLM agent, not a UI. • Partner-engine SQL strategy. Every engine has its own dialect, optimizer, and idioms. You'll set the direction for how CARTO writes once and runs everywhere, without losing warehouse-native performance. • The Iceberg / open-format play. CARTO organized the 2021 meeting with BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, and Oracle that catalyzed GeoParquet, and authored RaQuet for raster in Parquet. Iceberg is next. You'll define what spatial-first Iceberg looks like — for CARTO and for the ecosystem. • Community and standards presence. This work happens in the open. OGC working groups, the Cloud Native Geospatial community, FOSS4G, conference talks, RFCs. You'll represent CARTO externally and help move the standards forward. • AI as a native execution surface. Agentic GIS is where we're going. The Toolbox isn't just a SQL library — it's the substrate AI agents call into. You'll help define that interface.

• Develop and Maintain Software Applications: Design, code, test, debug, and document software applications using .NET framework, Python, cloud and related technologies. • Collaborate with the team to define, design, and ship new features. • Ensure the performance, quality, and responsiveness of applications. • Work with project leaders, product owners, and developers to understand business requirements and translate them into technical solutions. • Provide ongoing maintenance, support, and enhancements in existing systems. • Offer support to end-users of the application, by troubleshooting and problem solving. • Stay up-to-date with new technology trends and best practices in .NET framework and Python development. • Continuously improve the codebase, fix bugs, and optimize performance. • Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and shared knowledge. • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for software solutions. • Develop and implement unit and functional tests to ensure code quality. • Assist in defining test scenarios and in testing the developed functionality.
