Senior​/Security Engineer, Red Team

About Radar

Radar is the global leader in geolocation, with geofencing SDKs, maps APIs, and AI-enabled solutions for marketing, fraud, and operations teams.

Why is Radar the best place to work?

• We’re trusted by some of the world’s best companies, from high-growth startups to the Fortune 500.
• We have incredible scale:
  We’re processing over 1 billion API calls per day from hundreds of millions of devices.
• We’re well‑resourced, and we’ve raised $85.5M from world‑class investors, including Accel and Insight Partners.
• We have a high‑performance culture, with ambitious and entrepreneurial teammates in every role.
• We recently moved into an amazing new office in Flatiron, Manhattan, NYC.
• We were recently named a top 10 best place to work in NYC by Crain’s.

Despite our growth and scale, we’re still just getting started. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for red team security engineers. As a geolocation and compliance company, application security engineers at Radar focus on applications built on our mobile & web SDKs and server side APIs. Our Protect product enforces precise jurisdictional inclusion / exclusion geofences for regulated gaming use cases. As new threat patterns are continually emerging, this is a key role that contributes to keeping our solution one step ahead.

Most of our engineering team are former technical co‑founders or former Radar interns from schools like Waterloo and CMU. Most engineers at Radar fit one of two molds, technically: either Staff level expertise in one stack, or "Multi‑Stack" at any level. We say "Multi‑Stack" because "Full‑Stack" has the connotation of "Frontend and Backend", but Radar Engineers might also work on Mobile or Data engineering.

Not that you need to be an expert in all of those, but a desire to learn, jump around to different stacks, and get things done is the important part.

We care a lot about shipping fast and talking to customers. We’re committed to our product vision of full‑stack location infrastructure, but we also know that customer feedback is a treasure map to gold. Even though Slack is the brain of our company, working together in‑person in our NYC HQ is the fastest way for us to get things done. We meet on Mondays to plan out work for the week in small groups and use Linear for planning.

To us, a week is a long time, and we expect to ship big things every week.

Mobile SDKs are Objective‑C, Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Flutter and more, the frontend is React, the backend is Type Script and Rust.

Everything is deployed to AWS.

We sponsor Open Street Maps , Map Libre, and Open Addresses.

After a call with our Technical Recruiter, you’ll do several technical Zoom calls with members of our engineering team: code screen, coding round, and system design round. If those go well we’ll invite you to our NYC HQ for a final round interview. You’ll meet one of our co‑founders, someone from outside engineering, and meet more people from Radar. We’ll go into more depth about how we work to see if there is a match.
