Job description

About the role:

We are looking for a Senior GIS Engineer who can go beyond map creation and take ownership of GIS data pipelines across multiple Indian states. At Landeed, maps are not visual artifacts — they are structured intelligence layers that power title diligence, compliance checks, and legal workflows. This role requires someone who understands GIS from a data, database, and automation perspective — not just spatial visualization. You will work closely with engineering and product teams to expand, clean, structure, and automate GIS datasets for urban, peri-urban, and rural areas across India.

Responsibilities:

1. GIS Data Engineering & Database Management

• Structure and manage GIS datasets within databases
• Ensure spatial data is optimized, queryable, and scalable
• Work with backend teams to integrate GIS layers into product workflows
• Maintain data integrity across multiple state-level datasets

2. Data Analysis & Usability Assessment

• Analyze GIS datasets from a business and product lens
• Evaluate completeness, accuracy, and usability of data
• Identify missing attributes, inconsistencies, and structural issues
• Recommend improvements for better downstream usage

3. Data Cleaning & Preparation

• Clean raw GIS datasets for production use
• Standardize formats, projections, and attribute schemas
• Ensure data consistency across different states and sources
• Prepare GIS data for integration into APIs and dashboards

4. Website Parsing & Data Structuring

• Understand how government and agency GIS data is structured online
• Parse portals and structured map repositories
• Reverse-engineer data schemas when required

5. Scraping & Automation

• Use scraping frameworks to collect GIS data programmatically
• Build automation pipelines to keep datasets updated
• Monitor changes in government portals and ensure dataset freshness
• Work with engineering team on scalable ingestion workflows

6. Spatial Analysis

• Perform spatial queries and advanced spatial analysis
• Build overlays, zoning layers, and compliance intelligence
• Support internal teams with custom spatial data requests

Requirements

• 3–6 years of relevant GIS experience
• Strong hands‑on experience with ArcGIS, QGIS, Mapbox, or similar tools
• Experience handling GIS data within databases (PostGIS preferred)
• Strong understanding of spatial data structures and coordinate systems
• Experience in data cleaning, transformation, and schema standardization
• Exposure to web scraping and automation tools (Python preferred)
• Strong analytical mindset — able to evaluate data quality and usability
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Geomatics, GIS, Computer Science, or related field
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

What We’re Looking For

We are not just looking for someone who can "draw maps." We want someone who:

• Thinks like a data engineer
• Understands GIS as infrastructure
• Can evaluate datasets from a business lens
• Is comfortable working with automation and scraping
• Takes ownership of data quality

Working Style and Principles:

At Landeed, we value collaboration, work ethics, transparency, and continuous learning. We believe in empowering our team members to take ownership of their work and strive for excellence.
