Data Infrastructure Developer

About Us

At Cambio Earth, we are changing the way infrastructure operators tackle climate resiliency. As an enterprise software and AI company with deep earth science expertise, built over 20 years as part of BGC Engineering, we work with customers to embed earth science intelligence into their critical infrastructure operations; helping to safeguard communities, essential services, and the environment.

Floods, landslides, seismic and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, threatening the integrity of critical infrastructure. That's where we come in – and where you come in. Picture this: roads, railways, mines, pipelines, dams, levees – all protected by real-time situational awareness and insights that turn risks into manageable challenges.

The Cambio Earth team is passionate about making a difference. We love engaging directly with customers. We love building cutting-edge solutions that provide engineers and earth scientists new insights; ensuring the right risk-informed decisions are made at the right time.

The Role

As a Data Infrastructure Developer at Cambio Earth, you'll help design and operate the data foundations that power our platform—from time-series sensor feeds and high-volume remote sensing datasets (lidar, InSAR, imagery) to geospatial layers, inspections, and weather/hydrotechnical data.

You'll work closely with our Data Architect, backend software developers, and geoscientists to build robust, cloud-native data pipelines and models that make complex earth science data usable, trustworthy, and ready for analytics, ML, and automated risk assessment at scale.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain batch and streaming pipelines to ingest instrumentation, remote sensing, inspections, weather, environmental, and geotechnical data into our Azure-hosted platform.
• Develop and evolve our data warehouse & data lake schemas for time-series, geospatial, and document/photo data, ensuring performance and traceability.
• Implement ELT/ETL workflows using modern orchestration and transformation tools, integrating with cloud-native services and serverless components where appropriate.
• Define and maintain curated, analytics-ready data models that support risk quantification, change detection, and reporting.
• Build and monitor data quality checks, validation rules, and anomaly detection for time-series and spatial datasets.
• Partner with backend and AI teams to expose data products via APIs, feature stores, and internal tools.
• Contribute to data documentation, catalogs, and internal standards for geospatial and earth science data. 
  

Required Education, Experience & Competencies

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of experience in data working on production systems.
• Strong SQL skills and experience with at least one major cloud-scale data warehouse or data lake (e.g., Azure-native warehouses or similar). 
• Proficiency in Python for data processing, pipelines, and tooling.
• Experience working in a cloud-native environment (Azure preferred) with serverless or distributed architectures.
• Familiarity with time-series and/or geospatial data (e.g., sensor data, lidar, InSAR, GIS layers) and associated storage and indexing patterns.
• Experience with data pipeline orchestration and CI/CD practices.
• Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams (developers, geoscientists, product) and explaining data trade-offs to non-specialists.
  
• Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset. 
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with geospatial data stacks (e.g., PostGIS, raster processing, tile services) or scientific computing environments.
• Hands-on experience with ML/AI data preparation and feature engineering for risk modeling or anomaly detection.
• Background in infrastructure, climate, geotechnical, or environmental domains.
