Responsibilities
- Design, operate, and evolve Battle Road’s geospatial data pipelines, supporting the ingestion, processing, storage, and delivery of data sets used by the simulation.
- Source, evaluate, and integrate new geospatial datasets and data products (e.g., terrain, land cover, infrastructure, boundaries, mobility-relevant layers) that unlock new simulation features and capabilities
- Translate simulation and runtime requirements into geospatial data products, ensuring datasets are fit for purpose across scale, performance, and fidelity constraints
- Administer and optimize geospatial services and infrastructure (including GeoServer and related tooling) to ensure reliability, performance, and secure access in both development and production environments
- Implement and enforce geospatial data stewardship best practices, including metadata standards, versioning, provenance, governance, and quality assurance
- Design and maintain PostgreSQL/PostGIS-backed data stores, optimizing schemas, queries, and access patterns for large-scale simulation and analytical workloads
- Collaborate with engine, simulation, and AI teams to ensure geospatial data is aligned with runtime needs, performant at scale, and consumable by downstream systems
Requirements
- Geoserver Administration – 3 to 5 years experience installing, configuring, tuning, scaling, and securing Geoserver deployments (including cluster/HA setups, REST API usage, user/role configuration, SLD/stylesheet management, and WMS/WFS/WCS endpoint provision)
- PostgreSQL/PostGIS Expertise - 3 to 5 years experience database administration for spatial workloads, including schema design for raster and vector data, spatial indexes, backup/recovery, query optimization, and JSON/array data handling
- Data Cataloging & Metadata - Ability to implement, manage, and extend open-source geospatial metadata catalog/dictionary tools (GeoNode, CKAN, GeoNetwork), including FGDC/ISO metadata standards, schema extension, and discovery interface customization
- Experience integrating, managing, and synchronizing global spatial datasets (e.g., OpenStreetMap, satellite/basemaps, government releases), working with multi-format, high-volume data assets
- Experience with regular cross-functional coordination with GIS/data engineers, software developers, cloud infrastructure teams, and non-technical stakeholders to deliver outcomes as part of multidisciplinary teams
- Due to federal contract requirements, U.S. Citizenship is mandatory for this position.
