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, Decathlon, 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 150 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.

To continue this growth, we are looking for an experienced FrontEnd / UI Developer to join our FrontEnd team. You’ll work on building the UI of the main CARTO products, such as the Dashboard and Builder (our new tool to build vector maps). Both applications are based on React + Redux, so we need someone with experience in those technologies and can reduce the gap between designers and developers. Your main task is to guarantee that every page and every step a user will experience in their interaction with the finished product will conform to the overall vision created by UX designers and also it will keep the quality of code required by our developers.

Location: This position is open to full remote. In fact, we are mostly working remotely right now, but we do also have offices in Madrid, and Seville in Spain. So ideally, you would be in a compatible time zone with these locations.
