GPS mapping apps showing land ownership and access for outdoor users
onX builds consumer outdoor navigation apps that pair land ownership data with GPS, shipped natively in Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin/Jetpack on Mapbox. The backend is notably polyglot (Go, Elixir, Rust, Python) on GCP and Kubernetes, and the data team is moving toward an Apache Iceberg lakehouse while adopting OpenMetadata, pointing to a push to make customer-generated data discoverable and usable. Hiring has slowed and skews senior, centered on engineering and product.
