Senior Geospatial Frontend Engineer
Posted 8 months ago
About the role
- Senior Geospatial Frontend Engineer responsible for building high-performance geospatial workflows. Leading product quality map interactions for an open-source clean energy planning platform.
Responsibilities
- Own the mapping experience as a product-quality system: build and evolve a high-performance geospatial UI where interaction design, performance, and reliability are treated as first-class concerns.
- Build “pro-grade” geospatial editing workflows: create tools for drawing and editing points/lines/polygons, including selection states, snapping, validation rules, undo/redo, and exportable artifacts.
- Deliver a styling/symbology experience users trust: implement a layer/style editor that supports portable styles, sensible defaults, and powerful “color/size by attribute” workflows — without overwhelming users.
- Make large datasets feel smooth: profile performance, manage memory responsibly, and use the right techniques (virtualization, background computation, incremental updates) so everything stays responsive.
- Design robust state and interaction architecture: build a maintainable foundation for complex UI state, event handling, and tool modes — the kind that doesn’t collapse when features scale.
- Collaborate in a “product trio” style: work closely with product and design, and partner with domain experts to translate real workflows into interfaces that users love and trust.
- Ensure technical excellence: write clean, testable TypeScript, build reusable UI components, and help establish patterns that keep velocity high without sacrificing stability.
- Communicate clearly and proactively in remote work: tailor communication for different audiences, document decisions, and keep momentum without needing constant meetings.
- Bring your own lessons learned: apply what you’ve learned from past product wins and failures to help OET level up.
Requirements
- 6+ years building modern frontend applications with React + TypeScript (or equivalent senior-level experience)
- Strong product engineering instincts: you can turn messy requirements into clean UX and reliable code with a “ship it, own it” mentality: you care about outcomes, polish, and real users.
- Deep familiarity with web mapping (MapLibre GL / Mapbox GL style ecosystems), including layers/sources, style expressions, and interactive performance constraints.
- Hands-on experience building geospatial editing tools with maplibre-gl-terradraw and Turf.js (drawing, vertex manipulation, snapping, selection states, validation).
- Proven ability to ship complex features end-to-end: design tradeoffs, implementation, testing, and iteration with real users.
- Excellent written communication and comfort working asynchronously in a fully remote team.
Benefits
- A flexible, fully-remote work environment where you’re trusted to work very autonomously. Zero micro-management, as that goes against our culture.
- The opportunity to support hardworking, passionate, busy leaders who value and respect your contributions, and are working to create positive societal change in the energy sector.
- A culture that values transparency, empathy, trust, humility, diversity, collaboration, and recognition.
- We have an open-door policy, and value reciprocal feedback. You’ll always know where you stand, and always have the ability to have your voice heard, simply by reaching out.
- A pretty flat hierarchical structure, where titles are not emphasized, and all contributions are valued.
- Competitive salary with growth potential. Any relevant benefits depend on your region of residence.
- Supportive onboarding and training, tailored to your strengths, interests, and career ambitions.
- The ability to be part of our formation! We’re still growing, changing, and improving. Anyone who is part of our team now is able to meaningfully contribute towards our culture, and processes. We’re open to all suggestions, and take them seriously!
