What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate, Field Deployment Operations position at RADAR?
About Us
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.
RADAR is already deployed across 1,400 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.
OUR VALUES
The Deployment Associate at Radar plays a critical role in the successful deployment of RADAR technology in retail stores. A successful candidate will possess a combination of technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
Deployment Associates at Radar are responsible for the end-to-end deployment lifecycle of a store portfolio within their region. This isn’t a handoff role. You’ll oversee your stores from start to finish: from coordinating with external partners before a technician sets foot on site, to ensuring the installations are completed on schedule, and completing a final QA assessment and sign-off.
