We have several engineering positions open at onXmaps. We’re a mapping app for the outdoors with a good offline experience. Our first app was for hunters, and now we have an offroad app too. Check us out https://www.onxmaps.com/careers

We hire remote, but don’t target expensive areas in our recruiting. However, we won’t turn down a good candidate based on location (as long as you’re in the US). If your resume looks good, a short call with our recruiter will get us on the same page regarding comp. We are competitive, but not with FAANG.

I like the work you are doing - I had been meaning to write a mapping app for rockhounders for years, to let us know whether we are on public land or not, but I saw your product and decided not to do it because although we aren't your target market nor does your product do exactly what is needed - it is close enough to do the trick, and I'd rather see where you go with it than try to re-invent something similar.

Thank you! This seems like an interesting problem space. I'll check out the careers page and apply if I see a good match for my skillset!

Great to see Montana companies. I’m just an hour north of y’all.

What are the main reasons not hiring out of US?
