About Big Geo
Big Geo 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 recent 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 clear point of view on where the world is going.
Why Big Geo Exists 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. Big Geo 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
Big Geo is seeking a Dev Ops & Site Reliability Engineer to design, automate, secure, and operate the infrastructure that powers the Spatial Cloud.
This role is responsible for building reliable cloud infrastructure, deployment systems, observability platforms, security controls, and operational tooling that enable engineering teams to deliver production software with confidence.
The role combines Dev Ops and Site Reliability Engineering responsibilities. You will build the systems that deliver software to production, and you will own the reliability of what runs there — service level objectives, observability, capacity planning, incident response, and the on-call practice that supports them. We combine these deliberately: engineers who build delivery systems make better reliability decisions when they also operate what they ship.
You will work closely with software engineers, platform engineers, data engineers, and product teams to ensure Big Geo’s systems remain scalable, resilient, secure, and highly available as the platform grows.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building infrastructure as a product,
automating everything possible, and creating systems that allow engineering teams to move faster without sacrificing reliability.
