Geospatial Software Engineer

About the roleHalter is changing the paradigm farmers operate in.

Rather than solely relying on an internal model of their farm in their head, Halter elevates this with a digital one.

Our digital farm provides farmers with real-time data, aiding in decision making, and then the tools to directly action those decisions.Our geospatial platform is fundamental to making this product a reality.

It provides farmers with a high quality, high resolution image of their farm, and provides us with crucial topographic data.

We're seeking a dedicated owner who can support and extend this platform as we scale, particularly as we enter new markets.This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and geospatial systems.

This is not a traditional GIS analyst role.You'll be responsible for? Geospatial data pipeline : Fetching and transforming orthographic imagery and topographic data from drone scans, government sources or 3rd parties Backend services : Owning and extending the backend that serves terrain and imagery tiles to our internal and customer-facing tools.

Drone scan automation : Automating the full photogrammetry pipeline, from raw drone outputs to 3D reconstructions and GeoTIFFs, reliably and hands-off.

Model deployment : Operationalising geospatial ML models, ensuring they run reliably, performantly, and cost-effectively.

Scaling infrastructure : Building the observability, robustness, and automation required to scale our systems as we grow and enter new markets.Who are we looking for?
