Full-time • Senior
San Francisco, CA

We are seeking a visionary and experienced Frontend Engineering Lead to spearhead the user experience and visualization of Aclima's core products, including our in-house analytics platform. This role is pivotal to our mission: taking massive datasets of hyperlocal air quality measurements and transforming them into clear, compelling, and intuitive geospatial visualizations that drive policy and community action. You will join a talented team of Frontend, Full-Stack and Backend Engineers, with opportunities to set the technical strategy for our entire frontend stack, and be a hands-on architect and developer. Crucially, you will leverage the CARTO platform—its APIs, visualization libraries (like deck.gl), and spatial data infrastructure—to build the next generation of our interactive mapping and analytics applications.

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of frontend engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and high performance.
  • Define the technical roadmap and architecture for our user-facing applications, emphasizing scalability and performance for large-scale geospatial data.
  • Serve as the primary technical expert on the integration and utilization of the CARTO platform (APIs, Builder, Analytics Toolbox) within Aclima's product suite.
  • Establish best practices for code quality, testing, deployment, and performance using modern technologies like React, TypeScript, and WebGL-based visualization frameworks.
  • Design and implement highly performant, custom interactive map visualizations to display block-by-block air quality data, AI-modeled insights, and climate-changing emissions.
  • Expertly utilize and customize CARTO's visualization libraries (especially deck.gl and MapLibre GL JS) to render high-resolution data layers (e.g., heatmaps, aggregated zones) efficiently.
  • Partner closely with Data Science and AI/ML teams to translate complex model outputs (e.g., pollutant source identification, forecasts) into meaningful visual stories and actionable user workflows.
  • Ensure a seamless, highly-responsive user experience across all our data exploration and reporting tools.
  • Drive the strategic use of CARTO's spatial data capabilities to power our application frontend, optimizing data fetching and rendering of billions of sensor measurements.
  • Collaborate with Product and Design to translate community, government, and enterprise needs into intuitive interfaces that facilitate data-driven decision-making.
  • 5+ years of professional experience in frontend engineering, with at least 2+ years in a Lead, Principal, or Staff role, including direct mentorship or technical management.
  • Expert proficiency with modern JavaScript frameworks, particularly React and TypeScript.
  • Experience with Python or other scripting languages used in data science pipelines.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure) and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Deep, hands-on experience with the CARTO Platform, including its APIs, integration patterns, and ecosystem tools.
  • Proven expertise in geospatial data visualization using high-performance libraries like deck.gl, MapLibre GL JS, or similar WebGL-based technologies.
  • Demonstrable experience building visualizations and user interfaces for data science, business intelligence, or AI/ML applications, specifically focused on data exploration and analysis.
  • Solid understanding of architectural patterns for large-scale data applications (state management, performance optimization, data throttling).
  • Experience visualizing time-series data or climate model outputs.
  • Familiarity with cloud data warehousing solutions (e.g., Google BigQuery, Snowflake) and how they integrate with geospatial platforms.
  • Experience in the environmental, public health, or climate technology domains.
  • Contributions to open-source geospatial or data visualization projects.
  • Advanced degree in Computer Science, GIS, or a related technical field.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life insurance, AD&D, and LTD
  • 401K
  • Commuter and wellness credits
  • Company events
  • Equity potential
  • Competitive compensation
  • Extraordinary culture
