Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Architect and ship scalable, high-performance features across our entire stack—React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS—that power the maps and tools relied on by millions of hunters, hikers, off-roaders, and backcountry explorers.
• Own the full development lifecycle from discovery to deployment: translate product requirements into technical designs, write clean, testable code, instrument observability, and release to production multiple times per week with zero-downtime blue/green pipelines.
• Collaborate in cross-functional squads with product managers, designers, data scientists, and GIS specialists to re-imagine how people discover, plan, and share outdoor adventures—think real-time weather overlays, 3-D terrain fly-throughs, and AI-driven route recommendations.
• Refactor and modernize legacy services into event-driven microservices, leveraging AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, and Step Functions to cut infrastructure costs while improving global latency and reliability.
• Build pixel-perfect, accessible UIs that feel native on iOS, Android, and web; champion responsive design, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader compatibility so every adventurer—regardless of ability—can navigate confidently.
• Instrument and analyze user telemetry to identify friction points; run A/B tests and performance experiments that directly increase map load speed, reduce battery drain, and boost subscription conversion.
• Mentor junior engineers through pair programming, architecture reviews, and lunch-and-learn sessions; foster a culture of psychological safety where bold ideas and respectful debate lead to breakthrough innovations.
• Contribute to open-source mapping libraries (Mapbox GL, GDAL, PostGIS) and publish technical blog posts that establish onX as a thought leader in outdoor tech and geospatial engineering.
• Participate in quarterly “Adventure Days” where the entire engineering org heads into the field to dogfood new features—your feedback from summiting a 14er or scouting elk migration routes will shape the next sprint.
• Champion security best practices: implement OAuth 2.0 flows, rotate secrets automatically, conduct threat modeling, and ensure SOC 2 compliance so our users’ location data remains private and protected.
• Optimize map tile generation and caching strategies to handle 50M+ requests per day; use CloudFront edge locations and vector tile compression to deliver sub-200 ms load times even on 3G networks in remote canyons.
• Work with cartographers and satellite imagery partners to ingest terabytes of high-resolution aerial and topo data; build ETL pipelines that process, validate, and serve map layers within minutes of acquisition.
• Shape the technical roadmap by estimating effort, identifying risks, and proposing phased rollouts that balance user delight with engineering sustainability.
• Engage directly with passionate users in community forums and Reddit AMAs; transform their wildest feature requests into elegant, maintainable solutions that keep onX the #1 outdoor app in the App Store.

🎯 Requirements

• 4+ years shipping production full-stack code in React, TypeScript, Node.js, and SQL/NoSQL databases.
• Proven experience designing RESTful or GraphQL APIs that scale to millions of daily requests.
• Hands-on proficiency with AWS services (Lambda, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, CloudFormation) and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or CDK.
• Strong grasp of geospatial concepts—coordinate systems, map projections, PostGIS queries—and enthusiasm for outdoor recreation.
• Nice-to-have: contributions to open-source mapping projects, native mobile development (Swift/Kotlin), or data engineering with Spark/Flink.

🏖️ Benefits

• 100 % remote-first culture with quarterly travel stipends to attend Basecamps in iconic outdoor destinations like Bozeman, Bend, or Asheville.
• Annual “Adventure Fund” of $1,000 plus two extra paid weeks to pursue your dream expedition—whether that’s thru-hiking the PCT or heli-skiing in Alaska.
• Platinum health, dental, and vision insurance for you and dependents, plus a 401(k) with 6 % company match and immediate vesting.
• Flexible PTO policy that actually encourages time off, plus a paid sabbatical after five years to disconnect and recharge in the wild.
