Geospatial & Visualization Engineer

Company Overview

Atreides helps organizations transform large and complex multi-modal datasets into information-rich geo-spatial data subscriptions that can be used across a wide spectrum of use cases. Currently, Atreides focuses on providing high-fidelity data solutions to enable customers to derive insights quickly.

We are a fast-moving, high-performance startup. We value a diverse team and believe inclusion drives better performance. We trust our team with autonomy, believing it leads to better results and job satisfaction. With a mission-driven mindset and entrepreneurial spirit, we are building something new and helping unlock the power of massive-scale data to make the world safer, stronger, and more prosperous.

We are a passionate team of technologists, data scientists, and analysts with backgrounds in operational intelligence, law enforcement, large multinationals, and cybersecurity operations. We obsess about designing products that will change the way global companies, governments and nonprofits protect themselves from external threats and global adversaries.

At Atreides, we believe that teams work best when they:

• Remain curious and passionate in all aspects of our work
• Promote clear, direct, and transparent communication
• Embrace the 'measure twice, cut once' philosophy
• Value and encourage diverse ideas and technologies
• Lead with empathy in all interactions

We are hiring a Software Engineer on the Analyst Platform team to help build the data visualization surface where operators and analysts make sense of Atreides data—the place where multi-domain telemetry becomes a map they can explore, compare, and act on. This is a frontend-leaning role. We are looking for someone who is comfortable in Type Script and a modern web frontend, and who already has hands-on experience with both maps and data visualization—in any combination, from any direction.

A school project, a hobby tile server, a published dashboard, a deck.gl side project, work as a GIS analyst who started writing code, or production frontend experience at a mapping-adjacent company all count. You will work alongside senior engineers who are explicit about mentorship, pairing, and sharing what they know. Many engineers at Atreides describe themselves as Multi-Stack rather than Full-Stack because we move between frontend, backend, data, and mapping surfaces as the problem demands;

this role starts on the frontend, with a clear path toward broader range. The role is deliberately accessible: we welcome recent graduates, career changers from geography, earth sciences, cartography, remote sensing, or intelligence backgrounds, and strong self-taught engineers with portfolios that speak for themselves. We care more about what you have already shipped on maps and visualizations than about how many years you have been shipping.

This role is remote within Canada. Candidates must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents currently residing in Canada. Applications from outside Canada will not be considered.

• Pair with senior engineers on the visualization surface of the Atreides Analyst Platform, building and maintaining components that turn multi-domain telemetry—entities, trajectories, geofences, sensor footprints, heatmaps, time-series animations, before/after comparisons—into things operators and analysts can read at a glance. The stack includes Map Libre GL JS or Mapbox GL JS as the base map, deck.gl for high-performance data layers, turf.js for client-side spatial operations, and D3.js
  
  or Plotly for the non-map charts that sit beside the map.
• Work with the APIs that the Platform Engineering team owns to pull the data your visualizations need—understanding enough about the lakehouse beneath (Apache Sedona, DuckDB, Star Rocks, Apache Arrow, Iceberg with H3 indexing, tiles served via Martin and PMTiles) to ask the right questions and request the right shapes, even if you do not own those pipelines yourself.
• Work with open geospatial data sources such as Open Street Map , Overture Maps Foundation, Foursquare—alongside commercial feeds, and develop a point of view on when each is appropriate.
• Thoughtfull…
