What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Engineer position at Rainmaker Technology Corporation?
Rainmaker builds systems to make it rain. Our autonomous drone fleets and weather modification platform operate worldwide, expanding freshwater supplies, protecting agriculture, and proving that cloud seeding works at scale.
We need a product engineer to build software across Rainmaker.
Context
Rainmaker is about 120 people, and the software team is small. Our work combines autonomous aircraft, atmospheric science, field operations, data analysis, and customer delivery. Product engineers work across those areas and take meaningful ownership of what Rainmaker builds.
\nRainmaker's software supports campaign planning, field operations, weather analysis, aircraft operations, and customer delivery. You will build across that system, including internal tools, our operational platform, data products, and customer-facing software.
You will work directly with operators, scientists, engineers, and business teams. You will find important problems, decide what software should do, and own the solution from the first prototype through production.
This is a hands-on, full-stack role on a small software team. The work is not tied to one product or department. You will go where better software can have the most impact.
