WHAT WE DO
Are you driven to develop data products that have tangible, positive impacts on community life and well-being? Motivated to build data products for communities and decision makers across the nation? Excited about engaging users, government, and industry to improve visualizations and applications?
For more than a decade, the planning team at TCWP (Texas Community Watershed Partners) has used interactive scenario planning technologies to advance data-driven, collaborative, and holistic approaches to community planning. These tools are designed for ordinary citizens, elected officials, and decision makers to engage in ‘what-if’ analysis of future growth, development, and hazards. An incredible array of data products is used to support these tools and sustain our organization’s mission of community outreach, education, and planning.
As a senior geospatial data engineer with TCWP, you will collaborate with a cross-functional team to build a next generation planning platform that raises people’s voices and gives them more influence about the communities they live in. As a founding member of the product team, you will have the opportunity to guide our product, culture, and overall business of our team. We look forward to partnering your passion for data with empowering community decision-making.
YOUR ROLE
We are looking for a tenacious problem solver who loves a challenge and is excited by the pace of startup located within a university setting. Candidate should be a highly motivated, extremely organized, and solutions-oriented candidate, with strong spatial, conceptual, analytical, and reasoning abilities. As an early team member, candidates should be adaptable to the growth of the team and work well in virtual teams.
To excel in this role, you will possess a solid foundation in geospatial data technologies, data visualization, and implementing scalable data management solutions. Your designs and working tools will gather, integrate, and process data from diverse sources. These data products form the backbone of our applications, and you will ensure that our data products are accurate, secure, and accessible to our end-users. Your ability to collaborate and distill technical concepts are an essential part of this role, and you will be supported with both in-house and contract support.
