Geospatial Software Engineer – Backend

• Participate with other engineers in the design, implementation, and maintenance of Civitech's applications and infrastructure.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, research, and data science teams to develop features from participation in requirements definition through to testing and documentation.
• Build scalable, secure, and high-performing features in a cloud environment.
• Communicate effectively with team members and contribute to an open and inclusive engineering culture.
• Grow your technical skills and contribute to effective team development practices.
• If you were here today, you'd be:
• Optimizing data availability: Developing new features to automatically make election research data available in our customer-facing tools, reducing latency to our end users.
• Building data pipelines: Developing and maintaining pipelines that ingest, normalize, and serve civic data so it's reliably available to our tools and customers - including geospatial data like shapefiles and political boundary files.
• Bridging data silos: Designing strategies to effectively and broadly share data between operational PostgreSQL databases and BigQuery data warehouses to enrich existing datasets.
• Working with political geography: Reconciling census shapes against political shapes (precincts, council districts, legislative districts) and keeping that data current as new maps move through legislatures and the courts.
• Improving data quality: Diagnosing and fixing bad data - from malformed geometries to inconsistent identifiers - so downstream tools and customers get reliable results.
