Description
spec translation
api development
spatial pipelines
columnar analytics
performance profiling
testing benchmarking
Key responsibilities include translating business requirements into technical specifications, developing H3‑driven spatial analytics pipelines, and implementing performance‑optimized algorithms for large datasets. The engineer will build API‑driven backend services with FastAPI, manage columnar analytics stacks like DuckDB and PyArrow, and create spatial computation utilities using H3, Shapely, and related libraries. Additional duties involve writing testable code, benchmarking, profiling, and maintaining CI‑ready open‑source‑style repositories.
- Translate business requirements into technical specifications.
- Design and implement H3‑driven spatial analytics pipelines, including aggregation, density estimation, hotspot detection, and proximity analysis.
- Develop deterministic, reproducible spatial reasoning functions and performance‑optimized algorithms for large datasets.
- Build API‑driven backend services using FastAPI, Pydantic, and asynchronous Python.
- Work with columnar analytics stacks (DuckDB, PyArrow, Parquet/GeoParquet) and perform vectorized processing with NumPy, pandas, or Polars.
- Implement spatial computations with H3, Shapely, and lightweight geospatial utilities.
- Write testable, benchmarked code employing pytest and async testing patterns; create spatial correctness tests and benchmarking suites.
- Deploy monitoring tools to track system architecture status and data flow performance.
- Optimize memory, CPU, and data layout using profiling and performance tools; ensure memory efficiency, batching, and query planning.
- Manage projects with Python package managers (uv, poetry) and maintain CI‑ready repositories with linting, formatting, and type checking.
