GIS Developer

Contract · part-time or full-time Canberra / Remote

Build the web maps, tile pipelines, and spatial services our clients run in production.

About the role

You'll build the software side of our geospatial work: interactive web maps, spatial APIs, tile services, and the data pipelines that feed them.

Our stack leans modern and open — SvelteKit, MapLibre, deck.gl, PostGIS, cloud-native formats like COG and PMTiles, and edge deployment on Cloudflare. You'll ship real systems that real organisations depend on.

What you'll do

Build interactive web mapping applications (MapLibre, deck.gl, or similar)
Design and run spatial APIs and tile services (vector tiles, COG, PMTiles)
Model and query spatial data in PostGIS
Build ETL pipelines for geospatial data
Deploy and operate services on cloud platforms

What we're looking for

Solid JavaScript/TypeScript
Experience with at least one modern web mapping library
SQL and PostGIS fundamentals
Comfortable with Git and code review
Pragmatic API design instincts

Nice to have

SvelteKit or another modern meta-framework
Serverless / edge platforms (Cloudflare Workers, Lambda)
GDAL and the command-line geospatial toolbox
Open-source contributions
