Senior Software Engineer – Geospatial

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Expand and enhance Ocient’s extensive library of over 120 geospatial functions, which includes accessors, constructors, measures, predicates, spatial operators, relationships, transformations, and parsers/formatters.

• Guarantee numerical accuracy for spherical and spheroid WGS84 calculations, addressing geodesics, great-circle distance, area, antimeridian and pole handling, degenerate geometries, and precision behavior.

• Enhance spatial performance and indexing capabilities for trillion-row datasets through spatial indexing, pruning, partitioning, bounding-volume acceleration, vectorized evaluation, and planner integration.

• Advance spatiotemporal analytics, encompassing trajectory reconstruction, interpolation, movement analysis, and co-location analysis.

• Integrate geospatial functionalities with spatial clustering, geographic nearest-neighbor search, in-database machine learning, and other analytical engine interfaces.

• Convert telco, adtech, and national-security client workloads into engine functionalities in collaboration with Product and customer-facing teams.

• Create design documents, tests, and documentation to clarify spatial behavior and avert regressions.

• Oversee significant components of the geospatial engine from end to end, ensuring spherical-math accuracy and hyperscale query performance.

⛳️ Requirements

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in developing production software systems.

• Strong background in C++ or similar systems-level programming, with a preference for primarily working in C++.

• Solid understanding of computational geometry and spherical/geodetic geometry.

• Familiarity with geospatial data, standards, or libraries such as WGS84, OGC/WKT/WKB, GEOS, S2, H3, or PostGIS.

• Proficiency in profiling, algorithmic optimization, and understanding work at scale.

• Excellent skills in numerical accuracy, edge-case testing, and documentation.

• Capability to collaborate across teams and codebases while transforming ambiguous requirements into tangible solutions.

• Candidates must reside in the United States.

• The employer cannot sponsor or transfer visas of any type.

• Candidates are required to keep their cameras on throughout video interviews.

• Video filters, face-altering effects, and virtual backgrounds are not allowed during interviews.

🏝️ Benefits

• Remote-first work environment.

• Video interviews conducted remotely.

• Equal employment opportunity and reasonable accommodations provided during the application process.
