Software Engineer (Geospatial / Full Stack Python + React / GIS)

Geospatial Software Engineer (Full Stack) – Cloud‑Native GIS / Python / React / Spatiotemporal Data

National Security / Geospatial Intelligence

Specialized R&D / Defense Technology

The Company

• My client is a highly specialized engineering firm supporting critical federal and defense initiatives.
• Their core mission involves building next‑generation sensor fusion platforms to process complex, multi‑modal signals for anomaly detection.
• They offer the stability of multi‑year, mission‑critical funding combined with a low‑ceremony, high‑autonomy engineering culture.

Why Join?

• Take ownership of the full geospatial data path, from analytical tables to interactive web front‑ends.
• Solve complex spatial problems, including pattern‑of‑life analytics and inferring physical features from noisy spatiotemporal signals.
• Work largely independently in a remote‑first or hybrid environment within a small, applied‑research team.
• Design scalable systems that support experimental design, data collection, and operational goals.
• Advance impactful research and technical innovation in a government‑funded, technology‑driven startup.

The Role

A technical, hands‑on role where you will:

• Implement and optimize data pipelines for ETL and real‑time and batch processing for large‑scale spatiotemporal sensor data.
• Extract and transform curated data from open table formats (e.g., Iceberg) into serving stores such as PostgreSQL, PostGIS, or TimescaleDB.
• Build web backends, UIs, and other tools to support advanced data analysis, visualization, and machine learning workflows.
• Utilize a Python‑centric stack (FastAPI/Pydantic) alongside React and mapping libraries (Cesium, Mapbox/MapLibre) for front‑end geospatial visualization.
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle including planning, impl
