GIS C++ Engineer – Dynamic Tile Rendering & Route Optimization

GIS C++ Engineer – Dynamic Tile Rendering & Route Optimization We are seeking a skilled GIS C++ Engineer to develop a Dynamic Tile Renderer (DTR) and Best Route Calculator (BRC) for a high-performance geospatial mapping system. The role involves designing a C++ application to render vector tiles dynamically from spatial datasets stored in PostgreSQL/PostGIS and integrating advanced route calculations using graph algorithms (e.g., Dijkstra’s algorithm). Key Responsibilities: Develop a real-time, in-memory tile rendering engine to generate .pbf vector tiles dynamically. Load and process large-scale GIS datasets efficiently in RAM. Implement geospatial queries to intersect multiple spatial layers (e.g., property data, environmental risks, transport networks). Optimize rendering for real-time map display on various mapping platforms. Develop a Best Route Calculator (BRC) to compute accessibility based on walking/driving time rather than simple great-circle distance. Work with algorithms for efficient spatial data retrieval and simplification for different zoom levels. Ensure scalability, performance, and usability of the system for data analysis and reporting . Required Skills: Strong proficiency in C++ (memory management, multi-threading, performance optimization). Experience with GIS frameworks (e.g., Mapnik, Tippecanoe, GDAL, PostGIS). Knowledge of vector tile formats (.pbf) and spatial databases (PostgreSQL/PostGIS). Understanding of graph algorithms (Dijkstra, A* for route calculation). Familiarity with cloud storage (Google Cloud, AWS S3) and real-time API development . Experience handling large-scale geospatial datasets efficiently in memory. Nice to Have: Experience with Google Maps API , OpenLayers, or Mapbox. Knowledge of machine learning for spatial data analysis. Background in GIS applications for property, planning, or environmental analysis. Why Join Us? Work on a cutting-edge geospatial platform with real-world applications. Flexible remote work with a small, agile team of GIS and software experts. Opportunity to shape the architecture of a high-performance GIS system from the ground up.
