You will establish and oversee versioning and CI/CD systems to enhance our team workflows. You’ll guide team members in code architecture, development standards, and deployment processes. As the technical authority, you will handle computationally demanding tasks, particularly in spatial analytics and GIS-based product development. Additionally, I expect you to implement scientific research findings into production-ready code and collaborate with our Engineering department to align code design, versioning strategies, and release cycles.
