About the Role
CRG builds safety-critical mapping and situational awareness software for schools and first responders. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll design, build, and maintain the software platforms behind our live situational awareness tooling — including our Finished Product Portal (FPP), platform APIs, and map streaming services.
You'll own features end-to-end — from design and implementation through testing, deployment, and maintenance — and work closely with engineers, designers, and product stakeholders to ship high-quality, secure, and performant software that scales with our users' needs.
What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and deploy scalable features across our front-end (Next.js, Tailwind CSS, ShadCN UI — with iOS and Android on the roadmap) and back-end systems
• Advance our situational awareness, map streaming, and partner integration capabilities
• Mentor and coach other engineers; contribute to architecture and system-design decisions
• Partner with product and design to translate user needs into maintainable software
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and documentation to uphold code quality
• Integrate CRG software with partner platforms and internal APIs
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across the full stack to ensure reliability and performance

What We're Looking For

• Strong full-stack experience with modern front-end (React/Next.js) and back-end development
• Modern platform engineering experience
• Sound technical judgment and a track record of owning features end-to-end
• Experience mentoring engineers and shaping architectural direction
• Bonus: experience with tactical mapping, TAK, or geospatial/situational-awareness systems

Logistics & Benefits

• Fully remote, with quarterly in-person collaboration sessions at CRG HQ (travel covered)
• Occasional travel for partner collaboration, conferences, or technical workshops
• 401(k) with 4% match · Medical, vision & dental · 529 college savings plan
• 15 vacation days, 12 sick days, federal holidays
