location: Telecommute
job type: Contract
salary: $65 - 80 per hour
work hours: 9am to 5pm
education: High School
responsibilities:
We're looking for a contract developer with strong GIS and mapping experience to
help build and refine the map layers that are the centerpiece of our platform. This is not
a peripheral feature - the map is the product. All data is accessed, navigated,
analyzed, and acted on through the map, and the experience must be fast, intuitive, and
polished for a wide range of user roles.
You'll work closely with a small, highly collaborative product and engineering team to
design and implement map-based workflows that support service requests,
surveillance, and treatment - both for data input and for research, reference, and
analysis.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex spatial problems, cares
deeply about UX, and thrives in an agile, evolving environment where the best idea
wins.
What You'll Work On
? Designing and implementing interactive map layers that serve as the primary UI
for the system
? Supporting map-based workflows for:
o Data input and editing
o Historical reference and research
o Spatial analysis and decision-making
? Building intuitive map interactions for multiple user roles (field, lab, supervisory,
admin)
? Integrating and optimizing spatial data sources (vector, raster, overlays, filters)
? Improving performance and usability of map rendering and spatial queries
? Collaborating with product and engineering to iterate, refine, and occasionally
pivot as better approaches emerge
qualifications:
Required Skills & Experience
? Strong experience with GIS and web mapping
? Hands-on experience with one or more of:
o OpenLayers prefered
o Mapbox
o Leaflet
o Google Maps
? Solid JavaScript experience (modern ES6+)
? Experience working with PostGIS and spatial databases
? Comfortable working with GeoJSON, KML, Shapefiles and other geospatial
data formats
? Experience writing and optimizing spatial queries
? Familiarity with map performance considerations (large datasets, layering,
filtering)
Nice to Have
? Experience working with custom datasets and map layers from ESRI (ArcGIS,
ArcGIS JS API, or related tooling)
? Experience designing map-first user experiences, not just rendering data
? Background in public sector, environmental, infrastructure, or field-operations
systems
? Experience working with role-based or permission-driven map views
? Exposure to mobile or offline-capable mapping workflows
How We Work (This Matters)
Technical skill is essential - but how you work is just as important.
We're intentionally building a hungry, humble, and smart team:
? Hungry: You take initiative, care about outcomes, and want to make the product
better than you found it
? Humble: You're open to feedback, willing to challenge ideas constructively, and
comfortable being wrong
? Smart: You communicate clearly, think through tradeoffs, and collaborate well
across roles
Our process is agile and highly collaborative. Requirements will evolve, ideas will
improve, and sometimes we'll pivot when we discover a better approach. We're looking
for someone who is energized by that reality - not frustrated by it.
Contract Details
? Contract role (initial term with potential to extend)
? Part-time or full-time depending on availability
? Remote-friendly, with close collaboration via regular working sessions
? Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a core system used in real-world
operations
Why This Role Is Interesting
? You're not just "adding map layers" - you're shaping the primary interaction
model of the platform
? Your work directly impacts how real users make operational decisions
? Small team, high ownership, low bureaucracy
? Strong product influence and room to propose better solutions
