You will collaborate closely with data scientists, engineers, and product managers to deliver innovative, AI-driven geospatial solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize tools and plugins for ArcGIS and QGIS, enabling interactive data input, editing, visualization, and advanced analytics.

• Implement robust raster and vector processing pipelines for large-scale, real-time geospatial datasets.

• Build and maintain desktop applications for geo-spatiotemporal data visualization and analysis.

• Develop and manage high-performance geospatial databases (PostgreSQL/PostGIS) to support real-time, high-volume data ingestion and querying.

• Integrate GIS solutions with Pluvia’s proprietary rainfall and flood intelligence APIs, machine learning models, and data pipelines.

• Collaborate with scientific computing experts, water scientists, and software engineers to deliver solutions aligned with client and business requirements.

• Provide technical leadership, conduct code reviews, and mentor junior developers.

• Stay at the forefront of GIS, Python, and geospatial technology trends; proactively recommend and adopt relevant innovations.

Required

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with ArcGIS and QGIS, including plugin and tool development.

• 5+ years in geospatial data analytics and advanced geoprocessing.

• 3+ years’ strong proficiency in Python, including GIS-specific libraries (PyQGIS, ArcPy, GDAL/OGR, etc.).

• Demonstrated experience with WMS, WFS, WCS, or similar GIS technologies.

• Track record in building and deploying GIS desktop applications.

• Excellent written and oral communication skills; proven ability to work in cross-functional teams.

• Experience with geospatial database management (PostgreSQL/PostGIS).

• Experience in Agile/SCRUM environments.

Preferred

• Experience with Python development environments (Anaconda, Jupyter Notebook, VS Code).

• Prior work in the water sector, climate, or hydrology domains.

• Background in Geodetics, Applied GIS, Geoinformatics, or related fields.

• Familiarity with numerical hydrological/hydraulic models and/or machine learning algorithms in geospatial data processing.

• Understanding of software engineering practices (CI/CD, version control, testing).

• Experience integrating GIS with cloud-based solutions or SaaS platforms.

• Adaptability and comfort working in a fast-paced, scale-up environment.

What You’ll Gain

• Opportunity to shape the future of weather and climate intelligence in Southeast Asia.

• Exposure to cutting-edge AI, machine learning, and geospatial technologies.
