What are we looking for?
We are seeking a Python Software Engineer to join the team in supporting our Customer Operations division. This role offers the opportunity to work with a market-leading SaaS technology platform serving the global network construction industry.

Sitting at the intersection of software development and operations, this position is ideal for a mid-level Python developer who thrives on solving real-world problems and creating solutions that drive operational efficiency. You will design, build, and maintain internal tools and automation systems that streamline workflows for our operations teams and enhance the customer experience.

This role will focus on developing custom scripts and applications to process geospatial data, automate transformation tasks, and manage data pipelines into our databases. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to understand requirements and rapidly deliver impactful tools and solutions.

What are you expected to do?

• You design, develop, and maintain internal tools and scripts using Python to support operations workflows.
• You develop and optimize ETL processes for spatial data into relational databases such as PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
• You automate data transformation and processing pipelines to improve efficiency and maintainability.
  You collaborate with operations and product teams to identify opportunities for tool development and automation.
• You troubleshoot and support internal tools and workflows in both production and development environments.
  
  
• You ensure code quality through version control, testing, code reviews, and comprehensive documentation.
• You follow best practices in software engineering and continuously seek ways to improve development processes.

You’ll be a great fit if:

• You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a relevant engineering field.
• You have a minimum of 3 years of professional experience in Python development.
• You bring hands-on experience with geospatial tools such as QGIS, PyQGIS, or GIS libraries like GDAL/OGR, Shapely, or GeoPandas.
• You have demonstrated experience in scripting and automating data processing tasks.
• You are proficient in SQL and relational databases, with a preference for PostgreSQL and PostGIS.
• You possess strong problem-solving abilities and can work independently from concept through to delivery.
• You communicate effectively and collaborate well with cross-functional teams.

We will be absolutely thrilled if you also have the following:

• You have prior experience in an operations-facing role or in developing internal tooling.
• You are familiar with cloud environments, particularly AWS, and have experience with CI/CD pipeline workflows.

Please note: This role is remote; however, we require candidates to be based locally in the Philippines. This is to support occasional onsite activities such as team events, client meetings, or equipment handover. Additionally, local residency is necessary for compliance with Philippines labor laws and employment regulations.

Here are the benefits of joining our team:

• Competitive salary and professional development
• Collaborative client partnerships and a fun, inclusive work environment
• Opportunities for leadership, expertise, and global client exposure
• Monthly coaching, training, and career development
• Remote work flexibility
• Engage in social impact activities and industry impact
• Achieve work-life balance and flexibility to support personal commitments
• Comprehensive HMO coverage with one free dependent (depending on the employment type)
