About the role
- Convert, integrate, and standardize geospatial mining data from diverse sources and formats into VRIFY’s GIS environment.
- Import and export client data using defined, process-specific workflows.
- Validate data accuracy, consistency, and spatial integrity throughout the conversion process.
- Analyze client datasets and apply critical thinking to deliver high-quality outputs tailored to client needs.
- Create clear, visually compelling 2D maps (e.g., mine boundaries, infrastructure, proximity analysis) to support 3D models and presentations.
- Collaborate with peers to improve data workflows, tooling, and documentation.
- Deliver high-quality outputs on time, without hand-holding.
- Serve as a technical point of contact for customer issues related to data ingestion, platform behavior, and system workflows.
- Investigate application and system logs to identify where and why issues are occurring.
- Triage problems effectively: distinguish between data issues, configuration errors, platform limitations, and software defects.
- Apply quick fixes or workarounds when possible to unblock customers.
- Clearly document issues, findings, and reproduction steps when escalating to the Engineering team.
- Collaborate closely with developers to validate fixes and confirm resolutions.
- Provide clear, technically accurate explanations to customers - no hand-waving, no jargon dumps.
- Help improve internal runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and support processes over time.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Computer Science, Geography, Geology, GIS, Environmental Science, or a related field with a strong GIS focus.
