Duties and Responsibilities

Visualization and Rendering
Build hardware-accelerated views over datasets far larger than memory, using progressive, tile-based, and level-of-detail loading
Implement 2D and 3D scientific visualization: section and map views, volumetric display, quality-control plots and cross-plots—legible and interactive at full data volume
Work with the data and compute engineers on the chunked read paths that make large-dataset rendering feel immediate
Profile rendering and interaction performance, and optimize on the basis of measurement rather than intuition
Application Architecture
Design the state and event architecture of the application: subscription, dependency tracking and invalidation across many simultaneously open views
Ensure that changes to underlying data, to long-running job state, or to user parameters propagate automatically to everything that depends on them, without reloads and without unnecessary re-rendering
Implement cross-view coordination: linked selection, interactive highlighting and a shared cursor across open panels
Build flexible multi-view layouts—split, tabbed, floating and docked
Express application actions and state as structured, serializable operations so that the interface can be driven by automation as well as by direct interaction
Generate forms, dialogs and property editors from parameter definitions rather than hand-writing each one
Design clean internal interfaces and extension points, so that new analysis views can be added by other engineers without modifying the core
Collaboration and Delivery
Work in short iterations with continuous integration, code review and acceptance criteria agreed before implementation
Work with geoscience domain experts to turn numerical output into something an interpreter can read and trust
Contribute to the technical direction of a small team, and write down the decisions that matter
Skills and Competencies

Skills

Strong React and TypeScript, with a clear grasp of rendering performance, reconciliation and when to step outside the component model
Event-driven and reactive architecture: observer and publish/subscribe patterns, dependency and invalidation graphs, state ownership, subscription lifecycle, and the discipline to keep change fan-out from becoming a re-render storm
Live, server-driven state—WebSocket, server-sent events or change feeds—including reconnection, replay and consistency
Real WebGL experience: shaders, buffer management, texture streaming and instancing, not only through a wrapper library
Interactive rendering of large scientific or geospatial datasets, and the streaming and level-of-detail techniques that make it possible
Fluency with profiling tools and the discipline to measure before optimizing
Strong written English, and the habit of documenting asynchronously
Competencies:
Ownership and self-direction
Pragmatic judgement about where complexity is worth it
Attention to detail and to performance
Collaboration across disciplines
Technical expertise (front-end engineering and scientific visualization)
Alignment with company interest
Qualifications & Requirements
Required:
Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience
Minimum 5 years of professional software engineering experience, a substantial part of it on complex, data-heavy front-end applications
Demonstrable React and TypeScript experience in a production codebase
Hands-on WebGL, or equivalent GPU-accelerated browser rendering experience
Experience designing event-driven or reactive state architecture in a large application
Able to work effectively in a small, remote, multi-timezone team: writing things down, communicating asynchronously and operating without close supervision
Fluent written and spoken English
Desired:
3D rendering experience—Three.js, WebGPU, or equivalent
Background in scientific, geospatial, seismic or medical imaging visualization
Oil and gas or geoscience domain exposure
Familiarity with cloud-native, chunked array storage formats
Experience designing an API or extension point that other developers build against
Experience building an interface that is scriptable or automatable as well as interactive—a real command registry, a macro or automation surface, or a complete accessibility layer
Electron, or desktop delivery of web technology
Canvas, SVG and charting at scale; accessibility and color-map design
Fluent with AI coding tools for prototyping, test generation and refactoring, with the judgement to know where their output must be verified rather than trusted
We value the unique ways in which we differ, and we are committed to equal employment opportunities for all professionals.
