Software Engineer, Geospatial Systems

Paces is a company focused on transforming the built environment to be climate positive through innovative software solutions. They are seeking a Software Engineer specializing in Geospatial Systems to enhance their platform, which accelerates power development by automating early-stage due diligence and streamlining various processes for renewable energy projects.

Responsibilities:

• Research, prototype, and ship core parts of the geospatial engine at the heart of Paces — large-scale spatial search and analysis that energy developers depend on
• Take open-ended, hard problems in computational geometry and performance — over tens of millions of parcels and nationwide infrastructure data — from prototype to production
• Work across the full spatial stack: DuckDB, Arrow/GeoArrow, file-based spatial indexing, and a OLTP-backed data lake
• Explore the frontier of geospatial computation — for example geospatial embeddings and foundation models (e.g. Clay) — and decide what's worth bringing into the product
• Set the bar for correctness and performance on a system where wrong or slow answers carry real cost
