  • A commitment to writing robust, testable, and production-ready code
  • Strong understanding of cloud-native technologies (e.g., AWS, GCP, Kubernetes)
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Experience writing and maintaining production-level software in C++ or Go

  • Domain experience with geospatial data, mapping systems, or high-throughput data pipelines
