Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role
Location Information contributes to increasing the value of geographic information by developing and managing new and existing data about our land and seas. These are released online for others to use and reuse. Using this data, we provide products and services (maps, charts, and the geospatial reference system) to support critical national functions, such as emergency services responses and maritime safety.
Toitū Te Whenua, LINZ are looking for a Senior Developer to join our Geospatial Data Engineering Squad. As a Senior Developer in Location Information, you'll collectively lead exciting projects delivering essential geospatial products and workflows. The geospatial data domains you will be working with include aerial imagery, elevation and bathymetry.
As part of the team, you will take responsibility for the design, deployment, testing, and maintenance of geospatial products, services, and tools in an AWS (Amazon Web Services) environment. You will share your knowledge and contribute to a wide range of Open-Source Software projects. You will work collaboratively across your team to translate requirements into design, communicating technical ideas clearly to both general and technical audiences whilst providing input to user training support and documentation. You will be part of an agile team with genuine flexible working arrangements available.
