• Collaborate with GIS specialists, data engineers, statisticians and field teams to translate requirements into technical solutions.
• Prepare technical specifications, system architecture diagrams and deployment plans.
• Provide troubleshooting, maintenance and support for production systems; monitor system health and respond to incidents.
• Support knowledge transfer and provide training documentation for client staff.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering or a related field.
• Strong understanding of database design, data modeling and data warehousing principles.
• Familiarity with spatial data and geodatabases is an advantage.

Experience

• 3-5 years of professional experience in software development and database architecture.
• Proven experience building data platforms, ETL processes, APIs and dashboards for medium to large datasets.
• Experience integrating diverse data sources and optimizing database performance.

Technical Skills

• Databases: SQL (PostgreSQL/PostGIS preferred), NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB) and knowledge of schema design and indexing.
• Data processing: ETL tools, data pipelines, and familiarity with workflow orchestration (e.g., Airflow) beneficial.
• Data visualization: experience with BI tools or libraries (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, D3, Plotly).
• APIs and integration: RESTful API development and experience with JSON, GeoJSON.
• DevOps/Deployment: familiarity with Docker, CI/CD, cloud services (AWS/Azure/GCP) and monitoring tools.
• Testing, version control (Git) and automated build/test practices.

Core Competencies

• Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills.
• Attention to data integrity, QA/QC and security.
• Effective communication and ability to work in multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to document systems and train end users
