We help companies manage and access the world's spatial data.Any size, any slice, any insight. Delivered in seconds.BigGeo is defining a new infrastructure category for how spatial and temporal data is organized, accessed, computed, and used across systems, organizations, and AI.The Spatial Cloud provides a unified architecture that enables organizations to manage spatial data they own, access spatial data from external sources, and produce decision‐ready intelligence in seconds.By combining Unified Data, Real‐Time Compute, and Governed Monetization, BigGeo transforms fragmented spatial datasets into a shared operational layer that powers real‐world awareness across industries, infrastructure systems, and AI platforms.Why BigGeo Exists and Why People Build HereWe don't start by asking why you'd be a good fit for us. We start by being clear about what we're building and why it matters.BigGeo is building the Spatial Cloud, a foundational infrastructure for how spatial data is managed, accessed, and used in real time across systems, AI, and organizations.BigGeo is the Spatial Cloud. We help companies manage and access the world's spatial data, any size, any slice, any insight, delivered in seconds.Joining BigGeo means contributing to technology that is shaping a new category as it takes form. The BigGeo team is AI‐enabled, cross‐functional, and highly collaborative. We value ownership, clarity, and leveraging AI tools to build incredible momentum. The work moves quickly, expectations are high, and impact is visible because what we build is used in real‐world environments.At BigGeo, you will:Contribute to systems that influence how spatial data is managed and appliedLeverage cutting edge AI tools so that your work shows up in real, high‐impact use casesCollaborate with a multidisciplinary team solving complex,
meaningful problemsWork in an environment where autonomy is trusted, results matter, and AI tools are harnessed to boost creativity, output, and resultsIf you want to do work with real‐world impact and help build foundational technology that changes how organizations understand and use spatial intelligence, BigGeo is the place to build that future.The RoleBigGeo is hiring a Head of Engineering to own the day‐to‐day operations of a high‐output engineering organization. This role exists to bridge strategic direction and ground‐level execution: you will keep teams unblocked, standards high, and shipping velocity consistent. You are the kind of leader who stays close to the code while building the processes that scale the people around you. The Spatial Cloud is foundational infrastructure, and the engineering team building it needs an operator who treats quality and momentum as non‐negotiable.What You'll DoOwn sprint planning, execution, and retrospectives across domain teams, driving measurable improvements in velocity and delivery predictabilityDefine and enforce engineering standards across code quality, testing, documentation, and deployment, building the habits that make quality automaticUnblock engineers daily, resolving technical and process blockers before they compound into missed commitmentsLead 1:1s with direct reports, support career development,
and maintain the team dynamics that make high‐output engineering sustainableManage code review processes and technical debt with discipline, ensuring the codebase stays maintainable as the team and product scaleCoordinate across domain teams to eliminate handoff friction, surface dependencies early, and keep cross‐functional delivery on trackUse AI‐assisted development workflows and tools like Cursor to accelerate code review, documentation, and engineering process improvementsOnboard recent engineers with structure and intentionality, compressing ramp time and integrating them into team culture from day onePartner with the CTO on hiring plans, team structure, and engineering strategy, translating direction into operational executionWhat You BringRequired7+ years of hands‐on engineering experience with at least 3 years leading engineering teams in a people and process capacityProven track record running sprint cycles, code review processes, and deployment operations in a production environmentStrong coding skills in at least one modern language (Python, Go, Rust, Node.Js, or Java) and the credibility to participate meaningfully in technical decisionsDemonstrated ability to improve team velocity and code quality without sacrificing engineer morale or shipping disciplineStrong AI literacy and the ability to use AI tools to accelerate engineering workflows, code review, and team documentationClear, direct communication with both engineers and leadership, no translation layer requiredNice to HaveExperience scaling an engineering org through a Series A to B growth phaseBackground in geospatial, infrastructure, or platform engineeringFamiliarity with data‐heavy or real‐time compute environmentsExperience building engineering hiring pipelines and technical interview processes from scratch #J-18808-Ljbffr
