We’re looking for those who can help us stay better!

The role:

As a GIS developer in Sharper Shape, you will help us crunch tens of TeraBytes of data captured by our drones and heliscopes into highly valuable analyses for our customers. We currently work with LiDAR data, RGB, and hyperspectral imagery to give utility companies a deep understanding of their transmission and distribution networks.

We identify actionable insights for our customers, such as spotting places where vegetation might violate security standards or assets in which a specific component has failed. This preventive approach to powerline management helps in avoiding forest fires and critical system failures. In addition to this, we are working towards building a digital twin version of our customer’s networks that allows them to monitor their assets without expensive field operations.

Background:

Your background can be either in software development or GIS/remote sensing, but we expect you to have some experience in both fields. Do not refrain from applying if you excel in either one of these areas and are willing to deepen your knowledge in the other one.

As our solution is pushing the boundaries of this industry, an inventive and ambitious attitude towards developing software will help you be successful in your job. Also, being able to adapt to new things quickly and to work under pressure are important.

Your work will include both developing tools and algorithms to process and manage the vast amounts of data we gather in our customer operations. You will also help us to be successful in our customer cases, which may involve digging deep into the raw data from our sensors to assure high quality results. Some experience in data analytics and visualization are highly appreciated to support this work.

Requirements:

• One to two years of experience with Python in handling GIS and remote sensing data
  • Experience with some of these libraries is a bonus: shapely, laspy, geopandas, numpy, pyproj, rasterio
• These skills are not considered mandatory but are appreciated:
  • Good knowledge of standard geographical raster, vector and pointcloud data formats
  • Common GIS and remote sensing tools such as QGIS, ArcGIS or TerraSolid
  • Go, C++, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Linux

The position is preferably based in the Helsinki area, Finland, but also remote work from the EU area is possible. 

We will read applications upon arrival and the position will be filled as soon as the suitable person is found. For more information, please contact Director of Data Processing and Analysis Rami Piiroinen rami.piiroinen@sharpershape.com.
