[Hiring] Solutions Engineer @CARTO

Role Description

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 world's leading cloud-native spatial analysis platform, trusted by data scientists, analysts, and developers from global brands to run scalable spatial analysis directly on their cloud ecosystems.

At CARTO, our mission is to democratize spatial analysis. We are the leading Agentic GIS platform. Unlike other GIS systems, CARTO removes data fragmentation and technical bottlenecks by letting teams leverage AI for geospatial processes and interactive maps.

Our Solutions Engineers are technical and creative and enjoy solving new and complex problems. This is a key hire for our largest market. Across the US, organizations are moving off decades-old desktop and server GIS onto the cloud and AI stack they already own, and they need a technical partner who can show them what that looks like with their own data.

The position is fully remote, based in the United States, with a preference for the East Coast for overlap with our teams in New York and Madrid. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role, so expect to travel one to two times a month for customer on-sites, workshops, and industry events, with occasional trips to Europe for company and team gatherings.

Qualifications

• 5 or more years in a customer-facing technical role, presales, GIS consultancy, or spatial data science, including a track record on enterprise deals.
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud data warehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, AWS Redshift, Oracle).
• SQL and Python in daily work, plus enough JavaScript to put a working front end in front of a customer.
• Familiarity with Esri, ArcGIS, or similar platforms.
• Experience supporting US enterprise or public sector buyers.

Requirements

• You explain complex ideas clearly and listen well enough to find what a client actually needs, not just what they asked for.
• You use AI chat and coding agents in your own work and can speak credibly about where LLM-based agents help.
• A collaborative style that works well with autonomy in a flexible, fast-moving environment.
• You are optimistic, curious, smart, and keen to learn.
• You would rather be in the room than on a call, and you are happy travelling regularly across the US, plus the occasional trip to Europe.

Benefits

• Access to our employee stock options plan
• Covered medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k), with an annual match of up to $3000 (1-year vesting)
• Short and long-term disability
• $600 annual education stipend
• Remote Work Flexible
• Remote work allowance
• Growth prospects at a truly welcoming multicultural and multilingual company with a supportive, team-work-oriented work environment
• A big vision: to help the world use location-based data to make better decisions.
