What you will work on:

• Design and develop features for our web based fiber management platform and enable our customers to design, sell, and manage their next-gen broadband networks.

• Technically challenging GIS-based systems including state of the art tile servers, fiber network models, and interactive maps. All built on open source libraries and tools.

• 3+ years experience working with
  • Contemporary Javascript frameworks (e.g., Vue, React) or similar
  • Node.js , Golang, or Python
  • Large relational datasets

• Solid understanding of cloud services and their best practices (AWS preferred)
• Ability to break down product requirements into deliverable software
• Enthusiasm to work on new things and a readiness to jump in and contribute
• A self-directed mindset, eager to collaborate with other engineers, but comfortable driving your own work effort
• A laser-focused devotion to building toward an outcome - able to frame the problem, craft an elegant solution, and continually test results against the desired outcome

What skills and experience are helpful:

• Having worked with spatial data (for example via PostGIS)
• Experience with real time data streaming
• Knowledge of how and when to use various persistent and ephemeral data storage technologies
• An understanding of frontend mapping technologies (Leaflet, MapboxGL.js)

• Flexible and adaptable with a willingness to create positive change
• Think critically and have a bias for action and problem solving
• Be an inquisitive lifelong learner with a desire to continuously learn new skills
• Have an ability to make decisions and move forward with limited information - an ability to “operate in the gray”

If you feel like you can make an impact, even though you don’t meet all the above requirements, please apply. VETRO values a variety of backgrounds and professional experiences knowing that the best ideas and solutions come from multi-dimensional teams.
