Senior Geospatial Software Engineer at Ryz Labs

Job description

RYZ Labs is seeking a Senior Geospatial Software Engineer to help build and evolve a platform that works with complex construction and location-based data. This role combines strong software engineering skills with practical experience handling maps, coordinates, geometry, and geospatial information . You will be involved in building the systems that transform information from construction documents into accurate, usable geographic data that can support real-world field operations. What You'll Do • Design, develop, and maintain production systems while contributing to technical architecture and engineering decisions. • Build functionality around maps, geographic coordinates, spatial relationships, and geometric data. • Develop solutions that can extract, process, validate, and transform geometry from unstructured or semi-structured documents. • Work on functionality involving geographic measurements, distances, routing, asset locations, and other location-based calculations. • Translate real-world geographic information into reliable data that can be visualized, measured, and used in the field. • Handle imperfect data sources, including inconsistent formats, incomplete information, and ambiguous inputs. • Establish approaches that prioritize data accuracy and clearly identify cases where a reliable result cannot be produced. • Contribute to code reviews, engineering standards, testing, and continuous integration practices. • Help improve system reliability through monitoring, observability, and safe failure mechanisms. • Take increasing ownership of technical decisions and architectural areas as the product and engineering team grow. What We're Looking For • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience , with a track record of taking ownership of technical decisions and production systems. • Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript and Node.js . • Previous experience developing software involving GIS, mapping, coordinates, geometry, or other geospatial data . • Practical knowledge of one or more areas such as GeoJSON, KML, GIS platforms, routing, mapping systems, fleet tracking, logistics, agriculture, drones, or location-based applications . • Experience processing data that may be incomplete, inconsistent, noisy, or difficult to interpret. • Strong attention to accuracy, data integrity, and system correctness , particularly when software outputs impact real-world decisions. • Ability to reason about edge cases and design systems that behave safely when information is insufficient or uncertain. • Strong written and spoken English communication skills . • Comfortable working independently in a remote and distributed engineering environment. Nice to Have • Experience or education related to civil engineering, surveying, construction, asphalt, or estimating . • Familiarity with construction concepts such as plans, alignments, stationing, quantities, and pay items . • Experience working with routing, logistics, hauling, or distance calculations . • Exposure to DOT bid packages or construction documentation . • Familiarity with construction estimating platforms such as Bluebeam, B2W, HeavyBid, or HardDollar . • Experience with 3D geospatial information , including terrain models, surface models, point clouds, or cut-and-fill calculations. • Experience with technologies such as Turf.js, proj4js, PostGIS , or similar spatial libraries and databases. What You'll Own As you grow into the role, you will take ownership of important areas of the platform, including: • Geospatial capabilities: how the product represents, processes, measures, and exports geographic information. • Map and geometry workflows: transforming information extracted from documents into accurate real-world coordinates and usable geometry. • Distance and routing functionality: supporting location-based calculations and hauling-related use cases. • Core engineering: production code, technical design, architecture, and key engineering decisions. • Reliab
