Product Engineer, Sales

Rainmaker Technology Corporation, El Segundo, CA, United States


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. Governments and private operators trust us with their rivers, farms, and mountains.

We need an engineer to build the software that wins those deals and grows them.

The Role You will own the platform that shapes how the world sees Rainmaker: interactive campaign visualizations, geospatial dashboards, operational summaries, and proposal tooling. This is greenfield work. You will define the product, own the stack, and craft how every prospect and customer experiences our technology.

You report to engineering and hold full ownership of architecture and design. It is a high-agency role with direct access to our CEO, COO, and the customers we serve. What you build will directly determine which contracts close.

What You'll Build

Customer-facing results portals:

precipitation data, flight tracks, seeding plume dispersion made legible to all audiences at a glance

Interactive GIS tooling:

for proposals and RFPs, layering operational data over terrain, watersheds, and target areas

A demo environment that lets sales tell data-driven stories without filing engineering tickets

A component library and visual identity for all external-facing software, ensuring everything Rainmaker ships feels like Rainmaker

Instrumentation to understand what resonates with prospects and drives pipeline

About You

You own products end-to-end: frontend (React, TypeScript), enough backend to be dangerous (Python or Node, databases, deployment), and the taste to make good decisions without waiting for a designer

You have shipped real work with data visualization and geospatial tools: D3, Mapbox, Deck.gl, Leaflet, or similar

You care about craft. Typography, color, whitespace, and interaction design are not afterthoughts

You move comfortably through ambiguity. You receive problems and priorities from leadership, not PRDs and architecture docs

You have translated complex technical concepts for audiences who do not share your vocabulary

Nice to Have

Experience with atmospheric, meteorological, or environmental data

GIS or remote sensing background

Experience selling into government, or working where software was part of the sales process

Context Rainmaker is ~120 people. The software team is small. You will have an outsized influence on what gets built and how. We operate globally, our product and data are complex, and our customers are decision-makers evaluating whether to entrust national water resources to our technology. This role will be key in ensuring that trust is built and maintained

$160,000 - $190,000 a year
