What are the responsibilities and job description for the Penetration Test Engineer position at Radar?
About The Role
We're looking for red team penetration test engineers. Radar is a high-throughput, data intensive application handling 1 billion API calls per day. Over the past year, Radar has been used from over 100M devices worldwide. As a geolocation and compliance company, penetration engineers at Radar test all parts of our application: mobile & web SDKs, server side APIs, frontend customer facing dashboards and cloud hosted infrastructure. Our Fraud 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.
How We Work
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. All projects are run by an Engineering lead, an executive and a Go-to-Market lead. Engineers figure out what to build, talk to customers, talk to prospects, help close them, get them live and make them successful.
One of our most important company values is "Walk a mile," as in walking a mile in the customer's shoes, but also as in literally walking a mile, getting up from your desk and developing a deep understanding of how location services behave in the real world. To us, a week is a long time, and we expect to ship big things every week.
The Stack
Mobile SDKs are Objective-C, Kotlin, React Native, Flutter and more, the frontend is React, the backend is TypeScript and Rust.
Everything is deployed to AWS.
We sponsor OpenStreetMaps, MapLibre, and OpenAddresses.
The Hiring Process
After a brief call with our CTO, we'll invite you to our NYC HQ for an interview if we think there is a possible match. During that time we'll work on system design problems together and do some coding for 2 hours to build something simple. You might meet one of our co-founders and we'll also go into more depth about how we work to see if there is a match.
