Build map and spatial analytics features used by mission teams. You’ll develop TypeScript/Python services, deliver 2D/3D UX, and ensure offline-ready experiences across connected and disconnected environments.

What you'll do

Ship React/TypeScript map workspace features (layers, annotations, timelines, overlays).
Build APIs integrating PostGIS, geoprocessing services, and vector/3D tiles.
Optimize performance for large datasets and offline workflows (tiling, caching, packaging).
Instrument telemetry, tests, and join on-call rotations for spatial services.
Collaborate with designers, analysts, and data engineers to iterate quickly on user feedback.

About you

3–7 years building geospatial or visualization-heavy full-stack applications.
Strong TypeScript/React, Node.js or Python, and experience with Mapbox/MapLibre/Cesium.
Understanding of geospatial formats, projections, and performance optimization.
Eligible to work in Germany; EU/NATO citizenship and security screening required.

Nice-to-haves

German language (B1+)
Experience with offline sync, deck.gl, or NATO symbology.

What We Offer

Modern stack: TypeScript/Next.js/React, Node, Kafka/Temporal, Postgres/OpenSearch, Kubernetes.
