Geospatial Web Frontend Engineer (2D/3D) – Defense & GEOINT

Location:Remote within Germany / Hybrid (Berlin)
Type: Full-time
Level: Senior

About the role

We are building next-generation 2D and 3D geospatial intelligence applications for mission-critical use cases in the defense and security domain. Our products support analysts and operators with high-fidelity situational awareness, combining terrain, imagery, sensor data, and temporal analytics in performant web-based 3D environments.

To accelerate our 3D visualization roadmap, we are looking for a Geospatial Web Frontend Engineer (2D/3D) who is passionate about geospatial technology, performance optimization, and building intuitive interfaces for complex data.

What you will do

• Build and optimize 2D/3D geospatial web experiences using CesiumJS, MapLibre GL JS and deck.gl in a TypeScript/React environment
• Implement terrain rendering, vector overlays, point clouds, photogrammetry and volumetric data
• Develop visualization tooling for sensor footprints, tracks, geofencing, and temporal playback
• Design and implement layer management systems for raster and vector data
• Optimize rendering performance (GPU profiling, LOD strategies, instancing, culling, worker offloading)
• Enable offline and air-gapped 3D visualization workflows, including asset packaging and validation
• Collaborate closely with UI/UX designers, data engineers and domain experts
• Contribute to testing, documentation, telemetry and long-term maintainability

What you bring

• Strong experience with TypeScript and React
• Proven hands-on experience with CesiumJS and modern WebGL/WebGPU-based 3D visualization
• Solid understanding of geospatial data formats, coordinate reference systems and temporal data
• Experience optimizing browser-based rendering performance (GPU, memory, render loops)
• Confidence working on both visualization logic and UI/UX details
• Experience delivering production-grade 3D features with high performance and accuracy requirements

Nice to have

• Experience with deck.gl, kepler.gl, custom shaders or GPU compute
• Background in remote sensing, photogrammetry or LiDAR visualization
• Familiarity with defense or mission-critical environments
• Knowledge of NATO symbology (e.g. MIL-STD-2525)
• Contributions to open-source visualization projects

Why join

• Work on state-of-the-art geospatial and 3D intelligence products with real-world mission impact
• Modern frontend stack focused on performance, scale and visual excellence
• High autonomy, deep technical ownership, and collaboration with geospatial experts
• Remote-first setup within Germany, with regular in-person collaboration opportunities
• Competitive compensation, learning budget, and long-term product vision

Important note

Due to the defense and security context, applicants must be eligible to work in Germany and meet applicable security and export control requirements.
