Job Description

We are looking for passionate, skilled, and experienced software engineers to join Wherobots’ dynamic team in building the distributed geospatial cloud database of the future. As a software engineer in our SedonaDB & geospatial analytics team, you will build new features, design and implement APIs to extend our geospatial query capabilities, and improve the performance, observability, and reliability of SedonaDB’s distributed query engine.

We are 100% cloud-native, and build our product using modern and reliable tools and technologies. SedonaDB and Apache Spark are built in Java and Scala, with deeply optimized Python wrappers and SDKs, and are deployed on cloud-based Kubernetes environments.

If you are passionate about building a cutting-edge, scalable geospatial database and want to be part of a fast-growing company at the forefront of geospatial technology, we would love to hear from you. Apply now and join the Wherobots team!

Responsibilities

  • 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. Please note that the base pay range is a guideline and for candidates who receive an offer, the base pay will vary based on factors such as work location, seniority, skills, and experience of the candidate.

Wherobots provides a competitive benefits package to all full-time employees, including 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance, access to a 401(k) plan, and unlimited PTO.
