We are looking for a skilled Software Engineer to join the Platform Foundation team of the Open Location Platform (OLP).
The Challenge
We are dealing with:
- durable and versioned map of whole Earth with road topology and thousands of different kinds of attributes
- fast changing volatile datasets like traffic and weather and
- streams of different kind including car sensors data
- and many more
The problem is to store, index, analyze and connect them together in the same making it easily available for our users. At the same time, be able to scale and change fast to accommodate to the needs of our current and new customers.
The Solution
The OLP provides the recognized experience of HERE to its customers in order to let them build their location-based applications and run them on our cloud infrastructure with ease. Thanks to our powerful abstractions, state-of-the-art building blocks and cloud infrastructure, our customers can ingest, make sense of their location data like for example car sensor data for signs, warnings, roads, one-way streets, but also weather, or points of interest.
The data can be mixed and matched and possibly shared with other members of the platform which makes it even more powerful.
The Role
As Software Engineer you can work on this amazing product! Within a co-located, multi-functional and self-organized team, you’ll have fun pair-programming in Scala on systems under huge load and storing vast amount of data in very heart of the OLP. You will help running it on production - so no excuses, no throwing things over the fence but full control and responsibility.
We care about software design and take the time to write quality software. We use Scala in a strongly-typed and functional way.
