Lead Spatial Cloud Solutions About BigGeo 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.
We're building something that hasn't existed before: a new layer of the internet where the "where" and "when" behind every decision is instantly clear, programmable, and actionable. Our platform removes the complexity that has kept spatial data locked in silos for decades, and replaces it with speed, precision, and control.
We're a Calgary-based company, early and moving fast, with real customers, real infrastructure, and a explicit point of view on where the world is going. Why BigGeo Exits and Why People Build Here Most companies are spatially blind. They know what their data says, but not where or when things actually happen.
That gap costs real money, creates real risk, and limits what AI can actually do in the physical world. BigGeo exists to close that gap. We're not building another tool. We're building the rails that connect the planet's moving data to the systems that run the world.
That's a big problem, and it takes people who care about doing things right, not just fast.
People build here because
- The problem is real and the category is open. We're not competing for the middle of an existing market. We're defining a new one. Your work shapes what the category becomes.
- Your fingerprints are on the architecture. We're at the stage where the decisions you make today become the foundation tomorrow. What you ship matters.
- We run on clarity, not politics. We move with purpose. No bureaucratic drag, just a team that agrees on the mission and gets to work.
- You'll grow fast because the problems are hard. Spatial data at scale is a genuinely difficult domain. If you want to be stretched, you'll be stretched.
- We're building for longevity. We're not chasing hype cycles. We're building infrastructure, the kind that compounds in value over time and earns the trust of the companies that depend on it.
The Role
BigGeo is seeking a Lead Spatial Cloud Solutions to design and deliver how organizations build, deploy, and scale solutions on the Spatial Cloud.
