Geospatial Software Engineer – Telemetry & Mapping

Overview

Geospatial intelligence is core to what Avok does. As a Geospatial Software Engineer you’ll build the high-performance mapping, tracking, and telemetry-visualization software behind Avok Sentinel — rendering vast areas, fusing tracks from many sources, and surfacing the change that matters across the North and Canada’s maritime approaches.

What you’ll do

• Build performant geospatial and temporal visualizations (maps, tracks, layers) for huge, live datasets.
• Implement telemetry and track handling, spatial queries, and time-aware analysis.
• Work with SAR, AIS, RF, and EO-derived data and standard geospatial formats.
• Optimize rendering and data access for scale and responsiveness.
• Collaborate with fusion and platform engineers to turn data into a usable picture.

What we’re looking for

• Strong software engineering with geospatial experience (e.g., WebGL / deck.gl / Mapbox GL, PostGIS, GDAL, or similar).
• Comfort with large spatial/temporal datasets and performance optimization.
• Solid general engineering fundamentals.
• Eligible for Canadian Government security clearance.

Nice to have

• Experience with maritime/air domain awareness, tracking, or ISR data.
• Familiarity with coordinate systems, projections, and geodesy.

Why Avok

You’ll work on mission-driven technology that helps Canada see, understand, and decide — alongside a small, senior team, on problems that matter. This is an on-site role in Toronto. Many roles require eligibility for Canadian Government security clearance and compliance with the Controlled Goods Program.
