  • Design and implement scalable and efficient query capabilities at the core of our geospatial cloud database
  • Implement new vector and raster functions and algorithms to extend Wherobots' capabilities over geospatial datasets
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements, identify technical solutions, and deliver high-quality software
  • Make open-source contributions to Apache Sedona, Apache Spark, and other open-source software packages where necessary
  • Stay up-to-date with industry trends and advancements in geospatial and database technologies, and contribute to the technical direction of SedonaDB
Qualifications

The ideal candidate has made impactful contributions to open-source projects such as Apache Spark, Apache Iceberg, Apache Hadoop, Apache Hive, DeltaLake, or Trino, and has a passion for open-source projects and communities.
  • Strong technical background, including 5+ years of hands-on experience implementing scalable, distributed spatial query algorithms and applications
  • Proficiency in Java and/or Scala required
  • A proven track record of building high-quality, maintainable, and observable software
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems, query engines, DSLs, data structures, and algorithms
  • Strong communication and collaboration abilities, with a proven track record of working effectively in a hybrid or distributed team environment
Nice to have:
  • Hands-on experience programming in Python
  • Experience with large-scale geospatial data processing and applications
Compensation and benefits

Wherobots offers competitive compensation, equity, and benefits. The base salary range for this position is $200k-$250k per year.

Although we aim to establish a primary engineering presence in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Seattle, we provide flexibility and choice in the working arrangement for most roles, including remote and/or in-office roles.
