Web Engineer (WebGL)

AI overview

Play a key role in developing a high-performance visualization interface using WebGL and Canvas while contributing to the existing Cloud/SaaS platform.

We are looking for a Senior Web Engineer to play a key role in the development of a greenfield visualization project. You will work alongside the cloud development team to implement a new high-performance interface, ensuring the visualization layer is smooth, responsive, and scalable.

While your primary focus will be implementing complex graphics and mapping features, you will also be an active contributor to our existing Cloud/SaaS platform. This is a versatile role for a senior engineer who excels at frontend graphics but enjoys working within a broader full-stack ecosystem.

  • Contribute to the development and maintenance of our existing cloud platform (Vue.js, Node.js, TypeScript)
  • Work with the Cloud Team to assist in feature development and bug fixes across the wider application stack
  • Build and maintain reusable UI components that integrate seamlessly with the visualization layer

Qualifications and Skills

  • 5+ years of professional web development experience.
  • Strong experience with the Canvas API and WebGL (libraries like Three.js, Deck.gl, PixiJS)
  • Proven ability to implement interactive maps (Mapbox GL JS, Google Maps, Leaflet) and handle geospatial data.
  • Expert-level proficiency in TypeScript and modern frameworks (we use Vue, but React/Angular backgrounds are welcome).
  • A good grasp of browser rendering behavior, memory management, and optimization techniques
  • Solid understanding of backend technologies (Node.js, Python, Rust) is a plus
  • Familiarity with Docker and AWS is a plus
  • Experience with PostgreSQL or PostGIS is a plus
