What's the role?
At HERE Technologies, we specialize in building advanced solutions powered by location data. Our team works with diverse and complex datasets, including :
- Automotive-grade digital maps with detailed road topology and thousands of attributes.
- Large-scale, dynamic, and interactive geospatial datasets that evolve in real-time.
- High-velocity data streams, such as live traffic, weather updates, and sensor feeds.
Our challenge is to efficiently store, index, analyze, and connect these datasets while ensuring their seamless availability to users. At the same time, we continuously scale and adapt our solutions to meet growing demands.
We empower customers to build, deploy, and manage location-based applications on our cloud infrastructure. Our cutting-edge platform provides powerful abstractions and state-of-the-art building blocks that enable real-time data ingestion, storage, sharing, and analysis. By combining, enriching, and sharing data across platform members, we unlock new opportunities and drive innovation in location intelligence.
As a Senior Software Engineer , you will play a key role in shaping and improving our platform.
You will be part of a cross-functional, self-organized team, working on mission-critical services that demand high performance, compliance, security, and uptime.
