• Strong Python skills, including experience with GDAL, geopandas, PyQGIS, and automation frameworks.
• Demonstrated ability to operate within complex spatial data pipelines, using version control (Git), and collaborative workflows to deliver reliable, maintainable solutions.
• Proven ability to use Claude Code or other AI coding assistants to generate scripts, automate tasks, and accelerate spatial workflows.
• Familiarity with outdoor recreation datasets such as wildlife management units, access areas, land ownership, regulations, or other location-based content used in hunting and land-access contexts.
• Proven ability to work autonomously on complex, ill-defined projects, bringing structure, clarity, and execution rigor to ambiguous problem spaces.
• Ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to non-technical partners.

• Support content trust initiatives by executing audits, refreshes, and cleanup of high-impact Hunt datasets, applying technical judgement to ensure content is accurate, maintainable, and fit for long-term use, including identifying candidates for update, replacement, or retirement.
• Leverage existing geospatial pipelines and contribute to the improvement and development of new processes as needed, ensuring reliable delivery of data from source systems into customer-facing products and services.
• Lead complex geospatial processing and analysis such as multi-source data integration, conflation, and large-scale QA/QC, applying expert judgment to resolve ambiguity and edge cases.
• Use Claude Code and other AI tools to generate, optimize, and automate geospatial workflows, including feature extraction, segmentation, classification, conflation, and QA.
• Proactively identify data quality risks, pipeline gaps, or platform limitations and surface recommendations to the Hunt PM/SME and Geospatial Manager.
• Partner closely with engineers to ensure geospatial solutions are performant, maintainable, and aligned with platform best practices.
• Own the end-to-end execution quality of assigned initiatives, from intake through production release and post-launch validation.
