Geospatial Visualization Engineer

📋 Description

• Create and execute a WebGL-based rendering pipeline to substitute the current OpenGL IGraphicsTarget abstraction.

• Develop specialized GLSL shaders for visualizing meteorological data (contours, vector fields, wind fields, temperature gradients).

• Integrate contemporary web mapping frameworks such as Mapbox GL JS, CesiumJS, OpenLayers, or Leaflet.

• Apply map projection transformations and coordinate system conversions.

• Enhance rendering capabilities for substantial datasets (multi-GB satellite imagery, high-resolution radar) while maintaining smooth 60fps animations.

• Construct and refine data streaming workflows from AWS services (S3, CloudFront) to the browser.

• Collaborate with various geospatial and meteorological data formats, including HDF5, netCDF, GRIB2, GeoTIFF, and Shapefiles.

⛳️ Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, GIS, or a related discipline.

• Over 3 years of experience in web application development and backend microservices.

• Practical experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration tools like EKS.

• Advanced proficiency in WebGL and related frameworks (Three.js, Babylon.js, or custom pipelines).

• Strong grasp of geospatial principles: map projections, coordinate systems, and datum transformations.

• Proficient in JavaScript/TypeScript, including Web Workers and asynchronous programming patterns.

• Robust background in graphics programming, with experience in GLSL shaders, GPU optimization, and rendering pipelines.

• Experience in large-scale scientific visualization and meteorological or environmental data.

• Familiarity with AWS deployment (S3, CloudFront, Lambda, API Gateway).
