About BigGeo

BigGeo is redefining geospatial intelligence with an AI-ready Discrete Global Grid System (DGGS) that transforms how spatial data is captured, indexed, and monetized. Our platform powers mission-critical decisions across sectors where location intelligence drives outcomes—from large-scale infrastructure projects and environmental planning to logistics and emergency response. We are industry agnostic, unlocking possibilities for organizations that have yet to realize the value a system like ours can deliver.

Backed by Vivid Theory, a venture studio dedicated to building transformative technologies, we're a multidisciplinary, entrepreneurial team built for impact. We work quickly, push boundaries, and expect every team member to be both a thinker and a doer.

The Opportunity

We're seeking an exceptional Senior Engineer to help architect and accelerate our next phase of growth. In this role, you'll build solutions that change how organizations leverage real-time geospatial data, working at the intersection of computational geometry, high-performance computing, and cutting‑edge geospatial technologies.

What You’ll Do

Design and implement production‑grade geospatial libraries with clean APIs and comprehensive documentation
Build high‑performance C++ core systems with Python bindings for broad accessibility
Develop and optimise computational geometry algorithms for large‑scale spatial analysis
Validate and process complex geometries according to OGC standards
Create deployment strategies and maintain CI / CD pipelines for geospatial services
Collaborate across disciplines to deliver measurable results in high‑impact, real‑world scenarios

Required Qualifications

Programming & Software Development

7+ years of professional C++ development experience (C++14 / 17 / 20)

Expert‑level understanding of modern C++ features, STL, templates, and design patterns

Strong experience with memory management, performance optimisation, and multi‑threading

Proficiency in Python with experience creating FFI bindings (pybind11, ctypes, CFFI)

Experience building production‑grade libraries with clean APIs

Senior Engineering Practices

Advanced Git workflows and code review experience

Proven experience designing deployment strategies for libraries and services

Strong understanding of semantic versioning, backward compatibility, and API stability

CI / CD pipeline development and management

Comprehensive testing practices (unit, integration, performance)

Experience with build systems (CMake, Bazel) and package management

Computational Geometry & Mathematics

Deep understanding of computational geometry algorithms and data structures

Strong foundation in linear algebra, differential geometry, and numerical methods

Experience implementing geometric algorithms (convex hulls, spatial decomposition, nearest neighbour search)

Knowledge of computational complexity and algorithm optimisation

Understanding of floating‑point arithmetic and numerical stability

Geospatial & DGGS Expertise

Solid understanding of coordinate systems, projections, datums, and transformations

Experience with Discrete Global Grid Systems (H3, S2, or OGC DGGS standards)

Knowledge of spatial indexing techniques and hierarchical grid structures

Understanding of geodesic computations and spherical geometry

Geometry Validation & Processing

Experience validating geometry according to OGC Simple Features specifications

Ability to detect and repair invalid geometries (self‑intersections, duplicate vertices, incorrect winding order)

Knowledge of topology rules and spatial relationships

Experience with geometry simplification, buffering, and overlay operations

Proficiency with GeoJSON, WKT / WKB formats

OGC Standards & Data Formats

Working knowledge of OGC Simple Features Access (SFA) specification

Understanding of Well‑Known Text (WKT) and Well‑Known Binary (WKB) formats

Familiarity with OGC web services (WMS, WFS, WCS, WMTS)

Experience with modern columnar formats (GeoParquet, GeoArrow)

Proficiency with Cloud‑Optimised GeoTIFF (COG) and raster processing

Nice to Have

Cloud & Infrastructure

Kubernetes experience for deploying and scaling geospatial services

Large‑scale cloud compute management (AWS, GCP, Azure)

Experience with distributed processing frameworks (Spark, Dask, Ray)

Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation)

Databases at Scale

PostGIS competency for spatial database operations

DuckDB experience for analytical geospatial queries

Experience with distributed spatial databases and spatial indexing at scale

Query optimisation for large geospatial datasets

Python Geospatial Processing

Advanced proficiency in GeoPandas, Shapely, Fiona, Rasterio, GDAL

Experience creating Python bindings for C++ geospatial libraries

Knowledge of Python performance optimisation (Cython, Numba)

Advanced Technologies

Experience with GEOS library, JTS algorithms, or CGAL

Knowledge of OGC API standards and STAC

Web development with WebGL, Deck.gl, Mapbox GL JS, or MapLibre

Point cloud processing (LAS / LAZ, PDAL)

Computational modelling and simulation frameworks

Domain Experience

Background in cartography, GIS, geodesy, or geomatics

Experience with cadastral or parcel data systems

Understanding of spatial statistics and geostatistics

Familiarity with earth observation and satellite imagery processing
