## About the Role

* Strong practical knowledge of Python with experience building data-intensive applications
 * Experience with geospatial data formats, GDAL, or raster/vector processing
 * Understanding of coordinate reference systems and spatial data transformations
 * Experience with data pipelines, ETL processes, or batch processing systems
 * Familiarity with async processing patterns, task queues (Redis), and worker architectures
 * Solid understanding of PostgreSQL and working with large datasets
 * Strong software engineering fundamentals: testing, CI/CD, observability, reliability
 * You're outcome-oriented and enjoy optimizing systems for performance and scale

Ideally:

 * Hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments
 * Familiarity with imagery processing or computer vision pipelines
 * Experience with memory optimization for large file processing
 * Background deploying systems in regulated or air-gapped environments

Tech Stack

 * Python, FastAPI
 * PostgreSQL, Redis
 * GDAL, rasterio, GeoPandas
 * Docker, Kubernetes (EKS, K3S)
 * AWS (with on-prem and edge deployment targets)

## Description

We're searching for a Software Engineer to join our Data Plane team, where you'll build the preprocessing and postprocessing services that transform raw imagery into AI-ready inputs and convert model outputs into actionable geospatial products. You'll work on high-throughput data pipelines that handle terabytes of satellite, aerial, and drone imagery across diverse formats and coordinate systems.What you'll do

 * Build and optimize preprocessing pipelines that ingest, tile, and transform geospatial imagery (GeoTIFF, multispectral, SAR, COG) for downstream ML inference
 * Develop postprocessing services that convert model outputs into production-ready deliverables: segmentation masks, probability maps, and vector detections in GeoPackage format
 * Design resilient, memory-efficient services for processing large-scale imagery through distributed worker pools
 * Work on our unified Huntr-to-Replika pipeline, automating the flow from detection outputs to 3D-ready terrain tiles with auto-generated configuration
 * Tackle challenges around coordinate reference systems, spatial indexing, and data format interoperability
 * Optimize for the unique characteristics of geospatial workloads: memory-bound processing, batch-heavy operations, and streaming large raster datasets
