• Experience in manipulating vector and raster data with core geospatial software and libraries (QGIS, ArcGIS, GDAL, Avenza Geographic Imager, Avenza MAPublisher, etc.)
• Leverage the latest AI tooling and an AI-first mindset to drive rapid iteration, deliver value quickly, and adapt to evolving requirements with a bias for action
• Experience programming with Python to analyze geospatial data and interact with APIs
• Experience working with the Adobe Creative Suite (especially Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator)
• Adept at learning new datasets, APIs, platforms, and technical concepts
• Experience working with remote, distributed, global teams

What Makes You Stand Out:

• Experience working in the space and/or Earth observation industry
• Working knowledge of modern and widely supported front- and back-end programming languages, libraries, and frameworks (Javascript, React, D3, NextJS, Svelte, etc.)
