Geospatial Analyst

About the Role

As a Geospatial Analyst in Cartography’s team, you will be involved in working to optimize the routing platform that powers many of Gojek services (across marketplace, food or logistics). Some areas include building data products, experimentation design/analysis, performing literature surveys, building/ maintaining production grade data pipelines and working closely with the data, product & engineering team to solve challenging geospatial problems.

What You Will Do

• Design and analyze experiments
• Deep-dive into analysis (especially geospatial data) to support engineering & business decisions
• Perform exploratory data analysis using tools including but not limited to SQL/R/Python and present insights to business stakeholders to drive strategic decisions
• Build self-serve data products such as dashboards and tables to reduce time to insights
• Develop theoretical models to better understand our customers’ use-cases and needs
• Work with Data Scientists, Product Engineers and Product Managers to build, deploy, and scale data science solutions for routing systems and geospatial data.

What You Will Need

• 2-3+ years of experience in geospatial related fields (GIS, Mapping, Geospatial, Openstreetmap, POI Data, etc.)
• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in a quantitative discipline including but not restricted to Statistics/ Econometrics / Mathematics / Physics / Computer Science / Geoinformatics
• Proficiency in a programming language (either R, Python, including classical ML / Statistical libraries) and familiarity with SQL
• Prior experience with applied statistics, experimental design
• Able to tell a coherent data narrative using best practices in data visualization to convey a product insight through impactful charts
• Proven ability to recognize business needs and ability to communicate with multiple stakeholders including PMs, business and operations
• Understand classical machine learning algorithms under the hood (e.g supervised learning & unsupervised learning)

About the Team

At the heart of Gojek’s businesses, we move things around. Whether that’s people, food, packages, or fresh groceries moving things around boils down to understanding the best route, understanding traffic, and understanding locations. The Cartography team is a platform team that surfaces mapping technologies needed by all internal product teams and business units within Gojek.

As Chicken Rice is to the people of Singapore, the Data team is to Cartography: providing the nourishment and power to sustain our business from the inside out. Our main responsibility is to build data products for ETA prediction, mapping errors detection, map-matching, location search and ranking, and reverse geocoding. We maintain sophisticated data & machine learning systems that powers internal products by striving to provide accurate map signals that are as close to reality as possible.

While our team is based all over the region, we are a tight-knit group that is bonded by two things: how to grow our maps using strong machine learning, engineering automation, and strong operations and emphasize professional development around these areas 🙌. For real - our weekly conversations range from well, mapping and navigation to competing in friendly online gaming. But whether you like to play online games or you share our love for an afternoon tea/coffee break like us, we’d be stoked to have you join the fam!
