We need a product engineer to build software across Rainmaker.
ContextRainmaker is about 120 people, and the software team is small. Our work combines autonomous aircraft, atmospheric science, field operations, data analysis, and customer delivery. Product engineers work across those areas and take meaningful ownership of what Rainmaker builds.
The role- Rainmaker's software supports campaign planning, field operations, weather analysis, aircraft operations, and customer delivery. You will build across that system, including internal tools, our operational platform, data products, and customer-facing software.
You will work directly with operators, scientists, engineers, and business teams. You will find important problems, decide what software should do, and own the solution from the first prototype through production.
This is a hands-on, full-stack role on a small software team. The work is not tied to one product or department. You will go where better software can have the most impact.
What you'll do- Build internal tools that replace manual workflows and help teams coordinate
- Develop the operational platform used to plan, monitor, and review campaigns
- Make weather, geospatial, flight, and campaign data useful to the people making decisions
- Build customer-facing products when the problem calls for them
- Work with users to understand problems, test ideas, and improve what you ship
- Own products through deployment, maintenance, and continued development
- Improve the shared components and technical patterns behind Rainmaker's software
What we're looking for- You have owned software from an ambiguous problem through a maintained production product
- You are strong with React and TypeScript and can work across a backend using Python or Node, databases, and cloud infrastructure
- You have good product judgment and can create useful interfaces without a complete specification or finished design
- You have built software for complex, technical, or data-intensive workflows
- You work well with users and can distinguish the underlying problem from the first requested feature
- You communicate technical ideas clearly to people with different backgrounds
