Senior Full Stack Engineer, Geospatial

Senior Full Stack Engineer, Geospatial

As a member of the product engineering organization, you will be embedded within one of our small teams, of 3-5 engineers, focused on delivering mission-critical capabilities into the hands of those who serve our nation. You’ll work directly with Product Managers, Designers, Mission and Engineers to define the product and technical direction for our product(s). 

As a senior engineer, you are expected to take ownership and do whatever it takes to deliver game changing capabilities. As the first geospatial full stack engineer you are expected to create the foundational geospatial infrastructure, and components to power how geospatial works in all our applications. You will drive key technical decisions, own the roadmap, and establish best practices for geospatial & software engineering within your team. You’ll have a chance to build applications that leverage state of the art tools in Machine Learning and AI, to solve for mission-critical workflows. 

What you’ll do 

• Architect efficient and reusable front-end systems that drive complex geospatial applications in environments with performance and resource constraints. 
• Implement new geospatial algorithms, backend systems, and user interfaces. 
• Collaborate with Designers, Product Managers, Mission, and Software Engineers to deliver compelling user-facing products. 
• Own and ship significant features along with architectural changes in collaboration with junior developers. 
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to peers. 

Qualifications  

• 4+ years of software development building geospatial user-facing products. Mastery of JavaScript and React is a huge plus. 
• 4+ years of experience implementing geospatial algorithms. Prior experience as a geospatial or imagery analyst is a huge plus. 
• 4+ years of full stack development, including familiarity with relational databases (like PostGres), caching technologies (like Redis), and object stores (like S3).
• You must be a US resident or citizen.
