Geosite - Senior Software Engineer application - GIS experience highly preferred

At Geosite, our engineers work on some of the most innovative applications of geospatial data in the industry. Our senior engineers combine a mastery of front-end or back-end engineering (sometimes both) with a curiosity to solve problems and a seasoned toolkit for doing so. The senior engineering team is responsible for creative technical implementation; you must have the desire to push the product to its current boundaries and beyond and think outside the box to deliver technical solutions. The importance of this role in the company as we grow cannot be overstated.

- Have a strong understanding of software architecture fundamentals.
- Are proficient writing unit & integration tests.
- Understand and have worked in the Agile software development lifecycle.

- Are an excellent communicator that enjoys working with others.
- Care about your professional development as well as contributing to the development of others.
- Are known for helping others become the best versions of themselves.

- Stay on top of geospatial technology trends and help the team assess how Geosite can best get ahead of them
- Contribute towards architecture decisions
- Communicate the technical feasibility, level of effort required, and best practices developed when the team scopes new features

Desired Skills:
- The more experience with geospatial data the better
- Demonstrated experience working with data visualization libraries
- Prior familiarity with building enterprise SaaS products
- A willingness to share knowledge with junior engineers by teaching them how to think about system life cycles, edge cases, and failure models specifically

Compensation & Benefits:
- $140,000 - $180,000 salary
- 0.28% equity
- Health, vision and dental insurance
