Join a quality engineering team where your work directly improves the reliability and accuracy of GIS-driven products and platforms. In this role, you will lead testing and validation efforts that ensure spatial data, map services, and GIS workflows perform consistently across environments and releases. You'll collaborate closely with engineering, product, and data teams to translate requirements into robust test strategies, uncover issues early, and drive measurable quality outcomes. If you enjoy combining structured QA practices with the unique challenges of geospatial systems-coordinate integrity, layer rendering, spatial queries, and data validation-this is a great opportunity to make an impact. You'll help shape quality standards, mentor team members, and build confidence in every delivery through clear reporting, strong ownership, and continuous improvement.
