• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills
• Experience with Git, large codebases, reviewing merge requests, and running complex CI/CD pipelines
• Comfort working with Docker containers and Kubernetes
• Understanding of when AI is useful in software development

Preferred qualifications:

• Familiarity with geospatial concepts and standards such as GeoTIFFs, GeoJSON, and STAC
