Position Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical, data-driven Geospatial Specialist to join our global Data Success organization. In this unique technical track, you will act as a pivotal bridge between complex spatial engineering and direct customer success. Moving beyond surface-level support, you will take hands-on responsibility for processing raw drone photogrammetric imagery into highly accurate 3D topographic models, running comprehensive manual and automated quality assurance checks across coordinate systems. Utilizing your deep GIS or CAD software literacy, you will resolve complex data capture discrepancies, design site vectors, and ensure that field project teams get fast, bulletproof data they can trust to run heavy operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Photogrammetric Data Processing: Ingest, process, and optimize drone-captured remote sensing imagery to assemble high-fidelity 3D worksite maps and point clouds.
• Topographic Quality Assurance: Perform granular manual and automated quality control checks, validating structural alignment across coordinate systems and **ground control points (GCPs)**.
• CAD & GIS Solutions Mapping: Leverage CAD and GIS application suites to construct site designs, interpreting drone files alongside traditional GPS topographic surveys.
• Global Support Triage: Answer incoming technical inquiries from global site managers through active support channels, troubleshooting data output errors and delegating queries cross-functionally where appropriate.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with distributed software engineers, product experts, and sales divisions to communicate field data bugs and optimize platform usability.
• Data-Driven Problem Solving: Navigate and settle complex spatial file bottlenecks within unstructured settings, using logical deductions to resolve issues even with incomplete data.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Verifiable experience supporting global customer success pipelines or client advisory tracks within a high-tech software engineering space.
• Deep technical expertise running remote sensing, photogrammetric mapping, point cloud transformations, and traditional surveying techniques.
• Strong hands-on mastery utilizing **GIS or CAD-based systems** to manipulate site blueprints and terrain layouts.
• Outstanding interpersonal communication mechanics, optimized to explain complex geospatial errors simply to non-technical site operators.
• A relevant academic degree in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Geomatics, Surveying, or related quantitative engineering fields.
• Location Context: 100% remote-first full-time operational framework open exclusively to qualified geospatial technical specialists permanently located inside the Philippines .

Preferred Strategic Indicators (Nice to Have)

• Prior experience operating within cloud-native drone mapping software companies or fast-scaling construction-tech startups.
• Familiarity tracking helpdesk engagement metrics or resolving integration errors between hardware sensors and cloud rendering engines.

What We Offer

• The exceptional professional runway to transform how thousands of international industrial worksites utilize remote sensing data.
• Highly competitive local salary tiers supplemented by premium HMO Gold medical insurance configurations.
• Profound work-from-home remote autonomy backed by premium corporate WFH hardware shipments and a monthly internet/home office allowance.
• Direct enrollment into our lucrative **Employee Share Options** system to share in the long-term equity growth of our global platform.
• Paid vacation, sick leave policies, and fully inclusive paid parental leave allocations.
• Access to an internal corporate mentorship program and a dedicated annual professional development budget paired with training leave.
