## About the Role

Do you have experience in UI?, Do you have a Master's degree?

## Description

* You've spent a serious chunk of your career in the cloud-native geospatial world. You've built with - and ideally helped shape - some combination of DuckDB, GeoParquet, STAC, Arrow, Iceberg, point cloud formats, MobilityDB, or similar. You don't just use these tools; you have opinions about where they're going.
 * You know SQL at the engine level. You can read an execution plan across BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, and Databricks, and you have a clear view on what each one does well and badly for spatial workloads - partitioning, clustering, file pruning, pushdown, cost.
 * You build with AI seriously. You've shipped LLM-powered features in production, you've worked with agentic patterns, and you have a point of view on what this changes for analytics.
 * You're visible in the community - a FOSS4G or CNG talk, a maintained OSS project, a standards working group, a blog post people keep citing. Not vanity; this is how the role gets done.
 * You're a low-ego technical leader. You set direction by being right and being persuasive, not by being loud. You give direct feedback in PRs, ask good questions when you don't know something, and make the engineers around you better.
 * You're comfortable shipping production code - this isn't an architect-only role - in a cloud-native, serverless environment (GCP or AWS). TypeScript / Node.js experience is a plus since that's our backend, but it isn't the primary signal we're hiring on.
