Felt | Engineering Manager, App and Data | Oakland, CA or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full Time | https://felt.com

Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the first easy-to-use collaborative mapping software, founded by a team of technologists with a proven track-record. My co-founder and CEO, Sam, is a former YC founder who sold his previous company [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.

We are on the lookout for a hands-on engineering manager for our application and data teams. Our application team builds what our end-users experience; a lightning fast and easy-to-use mapping tool that works in the browser. We are primarily using Elixir / Phoenix on the server side and have a spatially focused React on the frontend side. As an engineering manager, you'll be working with folks who are experts in their field [2], release more than 15+ a day [3], and aren't afraid to break new ground when necessary [4].

Our data team makes geospatial datasets a breeze to work with and we are currently building our next-generation of our data stack on AWS. The team you'll be managing is full of expert engineers from Facebook, Carto, Mapbox, and Uber. You might have used their work in mapping already; such as Tippecanoe. We also recently announced our sponsorship of QGIS [5] and have some amazing stuff planned in the next couple of quarters.

We are well-funded and just raised our $15M Series A. You can read more about it our funding here [6], and our announcement here [6]. Our terms are employee-friendly terms such as early exercise, a 10-year exercise window and even a matching 401(k).[7]

If you are an experienced manager, please reach out via hello@felt.com and mention HN.

Those equity benefits are great, but I don't see them on the Careers page where you referenced them.


I think we can all agree: maps are fun. Looks great what you guys are building :)


May I apply if I live in Europe but prefer to work during US business hours (from EST to PST) as I did during the last 5+ years?

Hey there! Sorry it didn't work well for you but this is valuable feedback. We are working on adding more raster support. If you shoot an email to support@felt.com, we can better understand your use case and potentially add you to our testing groups when we build those features so you get to see them first and even influence!

Once again, thank you for trying it out!


hi ben! nice to hear from you again after many years. as sam mentioned, we hope to "secretly" follow the same playbook as many PLG products. check out felt.com/gallery for some examples of how people and companies use felt.


i think you can also directly call them from the maplibre lib itself using the pmtiles adapter
