About RADAR

KNOW WHAT'S IN YOUR STORE ALL THE TIME, IN REAL-TIME... Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

RADAR runs data infrastructure across 1,600+ live retail stores, processing tens of billions of real-world events every day. We’re hiring a Site Reliability Engineer to own the reliability of that system end to end — leading incident response, running day-to-day NOC operations, and building the observability foundation that lets us catch issues before they hit a store floor. You’ll be the steady hand during a live incident, and the engineer making sure there are fewer of them to begin with. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • You have 5+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, Infrastructure, or Production Operations, with direct incident response and on-call experience
  • You have experience running or actively contributing to a NOC, including shift scheduling, escalation processes, and performance metrics
  • You have strong hands-on experience with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, Splunk, ELK, OpenTelemetry, or similar)
  • You have a solid understanding of SLIs, SLOs, SLAs, and error budgets, and how to use them to drive prioritization
  • You have hands-on release engineering experience, including CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and safe rollout practices like canary releases, feature flags, and automated rollbacks
  • You are proficient in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Go, Bash, etc.)
More about this role

E-commerce got real-time data infrastructure decades ago. Physical stores still have not. RADAR is changing that.

RADAR is building the data infrastructure layer for the physical world, starting with retail. Our hardware-enabled SaaS platform uses proprietary overhead sensors, software, and AI-powered analytics to locate every product in a store, continuously, down to the fixture. We are deployed across 1,500+ stores with retailers including American Eagle Outfitters and Old Navy, processing tens of billions of real-world events every day, delivering 99%+ accuracy in complex, noisy environments - at fleet scale.

RADAR is one of the best-funded companies in retail technology, backed by a recent Series B financing at a $1 billion valuation. Inventory accuracy is only the beginning. We believe RADAR can become foundational infrastructure for the physical economy, powering new AI-driven commerce experiences across retail and beyond.

Join us if you want to work on a large, unsolved, technically challenging problem with an ambitious team building category-defining technology.
