Job description

Build the mapping and data services that turn wildfire zones, parcel boundaries, and assessor records into reliable products for homeowners, insurers, and partners. This role sits at the intersection of geospatial data, APIs, and production engineering.

Remote · Remote — US Posted August 6, 2026

Competitive salary and meaningful equity, with room for growth.

The opportunity

Cindera’s product depends on fast, accurate geospatial systems. We take public and partner data such as CAL FIRE zones, parcel boundaries, assessor records, and other property inputs, then turn them into maps, scores, and APIs that people can actually use.

This is a hands-on engineering role with real product impact. You will help shape the data model, improve map and boundary performance, and make sure our outputs are trustworthy enough for homeowner workflows, insurer decisions, and vendor integrations.

You will work closely with product, data, and customer-facing teammates to keep the system accurate as sources change and new use cases come online.

What you'd do

• Design and maintain geospatial services that ingest, normalize, and serve parcel and wildfire risk data.
• Build APIs and backend workflows that power scoring, map rendering, and partner integrations.
• Improve data quality, validation, and update pipelines across changing public and private datasets.
• Optimize spatial queries and map performance so the product stays fast at scale.
• Collaborate with teammates to translate messy real-world data into clear product behavior.

What we're looking for

• Strong experience building production backend systems, with deep comfort in geospatial data.
• Experience working with parcel, boundary, zoning, or property data in a real product environment.
• Ability to design reliable APIs and data workflows that can handle imperfect external sources.
• Practical judgment around data accuracy, performance, and operational simplicity.
• Clear communication and ownership in a small team setting.

Nice to have

• Experience with PostGIS, spatial indexing, or other geospatial database tooling.
• Familiarity with wildfire, insurance, property tech, or public-sector data sources.
• Experience working with map libraries, tile services, or location-based product surfaces.
• Exposure to data pipelines that depend on third-party or government datasets.

Why Cindera

Cindera is building software for a real problem that affects homes, insurers, and the vendors who help people harden properties against wildfire risk. The work is concrete: better data, better maps, better decisions.

We are a small team, which means your work will show up quickly in the product. If you like geospatial systems, care about correctness, and want to build something that has practical value, this is a good place to do it.
