  • Work with geospatial data, including GeoTIFFs and spatial indices, and optimize performance for geospatial analytics
  • Communicate findings and data issues clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, providing actionable insights
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of ETL/ELT pipelines and orchestration processes
