  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Proven ability to rapidly learn new technologies and adapt to evolving requirements.

Desirable Qualifications

  • M.S. or Ph.D in Computer Science or a similar technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Domain experience with geospatial data, mapping systems, or high-throughput data pipelines.
  • Working proficiency in Python and Golang.

Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions.
