What is a cartographer?

Mapmakers, also known as cartographers, are professionals who design, create, and update maps for various purposes, such as navigation, education, urban planning, and environmental studies. They use data from surveys, satellite images, and geographic information systems (GIS) to represent physical and human-made features on maps. Cartographers must ensure their maps are accurate, readable, and tailored to the needs of their intended audience. Their work is essential for government agencies, businesses, and the general public who rely on up-to-date geographic information.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a cartographer?

To thrive as a Cartographer, you need strong skills in geography, spatial analysis, and cartographic design, typically supported by a degree in geography, GIS, or a related field. Proficiency in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing software, and mapping tools like ArcGIS or QGIS is essential. Attention to detail, creativity, and strong communication skills help cartographers accurately represent data and collaborate with diverse teams. These skills ensure the creation of precise, user-friendly maps that support decision-making across various industries.

What are common challenges faced by professionals working in digital map creation and maintenance roles?

Professionals in digital map creation and maintenance often encounter challenges such as ensuring data accuracy, keeping pace with constantly changing geographic and infrastructure information, and integrating data from multiple sources. Collaboration with cross-functional teams—including software developers, GIS analysts, and field surveyors—is key to resolving discrepancies and implementing updates efficiently. Additionally, professionals must stay up to date with evolving mapping technologies and standards to deliver reliable, user-friendly map products.

What is the difference between Maps vs GIS Technician?

AspectMapsGIS Technician

Work EnvironmentDesigning, creating, and updating maps; often in offices or fieldworkManaging GIS data, analyzing spatial information, supporting GIS projects
Industry UsageUsed across various industries for visual representation of dataPrimarily in urban planning, environmental management, and infrastructure

Maps focus on creating visual representations of geographic data, often manually or with basic software. GIS Technicians work with Geographic Information Systems to analyze and manage spatial data, supporting complex projects. While both roles involve geographic data, GIS Technicians typically require more technical skills and certifications, and their work involves data analysis alongside map creation.

Job description

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior / Staff Product Manager to own product strategy and execution for Radar Maps Platform. This role is based in our NYC HQ.

For years, teams have had to stitch together expensive, fragmented, and legacy mapping providers. Many start with Google Maps or Mapbox, then run into cost, flexibility, reliability, or platform limitations as they scale. Radar Maps Platform is changing that.

Radar Maps Platform has geocoding, autocomplete, address validation, search, routing, map tiles, static maps, dynamic maps, and UI components in one developer-friendly platform. Radar is more than a maps provider. We also offer a full-stack geofencing platform, giving customers maps, geocoding, routing, location tracking, geofencing, trip tracking, places, fraud detection, and location intelligence in one integrated platform.

That combination is unique. Customers can replace legacy maps vendors, reduce cost and complexity, and build richer location-based experiences on top of the same infrastructure already powering their geofencing, tracking, marketing, operations, and fraud use cases. Hundreds of companies have switched to Radar Maps Platform in the last few years.

What you’ll do
  • Own the product strategy, roadmap, execution, and customer outcomes for one of Radar’s fastest-growing products.
  • Work closely with customers and prospects to understand how they use maps today, why they are switching from legacy providers, and what they need to build better location-based experiences.
  • Lead a full-stack product team of engineers and designers shipping across backend systems, frontend experiences, web and mobile SDKs, APIs, UI components, map rendering, dashboard workflows, playgrounds, usage tracking, documentation, and developer tools.
  • Use data analysis to understand where Radar Maps Platform has gaps in coverage, accuracy, freshness, latency, or cost, then work with Engineering and external data providers to close those gaps.
  • Write crisp product specs, 1-pagers, documentation, and launch plans.
  • Use AI to move faster: creating designs, prototypes, analyses, documentation, and even code changes where useful.
  • Run sprint planning, QA product experiences, keep projects on track, and help the team ship high-quality work quickly.
Bonus points if you
  • Have worked on maps, geocoding, routing, search, logistics, delivery, mobility, developer platforms, APIs, SDKs, data infrastructure, or location-based products.
  • Have worked with address data, POI data, map tiles, road network data, imagery, or other geospatial datasets.
  • Are a former founder or have operated with founder-level ownership.
The hiring process

After a call with our Technical Recruiter, you’ll do several Zoom calls with members of our Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) teams. If those go well, we’ll invite you to our NYC HQ for a final round interview. You’ll meet one of our co‑founders, someone from outside EPD, and more people from around the company.

You’ll work with
  • Nick Patrick, Co-Founder and CEO
  • Tim Julien, CTO
  • The Radar Maps Platform Engineering team
  • Our customers and prospects
  • Our Marketing, Customer Success, Sales Engineering, and Sales teams
What we offer
  • Competitive salary
  • Meaningful stock options in a fast‑growing company
  • 401(k) plan with 4% match
  • New HQ in Flatiron, NYC
  • Top‑notch equipment
  • Catered lunches
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance with 100% coverage for employees
  • 12 weeks of paid parental leave
  • Commuter and fitness benefits
Compensation

For candidates based in the United States, the base salary range for this full‑time position is between $200,000 - $300,000/year with an opportunity for performance bonuses and incentives.

In addition to cash compensation, Radar offers full‑time employees stock option grants under its equity plan. This is a meaningful ownership stake in the company we provide to our employees as we build a category‑defining company.

Equal Employment Opportunity

We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, or veteran status. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
