We are a collection of nerds who enjoy playing with geographic data and making products which help our users improve their lives.
We are an asynchronous-first and remote-first culture. This means we place a high level of trust on you to help define and execute your work, but we also place a high expectation on ourselves to make sure that all relevant information is available and that the workloads are balanced. We expect to train you but we also expect you to learn on your own, while being paid.
We are built on open-source software. Where possible, we contribute back to the upstream projects and focus on providing our value through excellent interfaces, high responsitivity, and some proprietary insights.
Our stack includes Rust, Python, Javascript, postgresql, and docker, and is hosted on linux servers (primarily openSUSE). We try to use the most boring technologies possible and focus our risk budget where it matters more.
We are a small team and roles will necessarily blend a bit. You should feel comfortable talking about various layers of the stack and helping the rest of the team where necessary, but you will only be directly responsible for your own segment.
If that sounds fun to you, feel free to reach out!
Send an email to careers@spacivo.com indicating what role you are applying for, along with a resume, CV, or portfolio. A cover letter is not required but we will read it if you send one.
Our hiring process is:
We aim to take no more than a few days from receiving your application to having a decision.
All positions are remote-only and asynchronous-first. You can work from anywhere, but we reserve TuWeTh 13:00-16:00 (UTC+1) as our possible sync time for meetings (1-2 hours per week).
We are not currently generating revenue. The positions below will be compensated with equity, and salary as soon as possible.
Do none of the positions below fit you perfectly? Tell us a bit about yourself and what you want to work on. There is a long tail of tasks to be done and we likely can find a place for you in our team.

Want to make the site a joy to use? Come work with us. The current stack is mostly plain javascript, html, css, and a rust backend.

We run our own instances of openstreetmap, pelias, openrouteservice, and a variety of other data-heavy tools. We also run our own compute-heavy tools to enhance these datasets.
You will ensure that these tools are built, remain online, and handle our traffic.

We have a few TB of geographic data, which we query for serving user requests and internal purposes. You will make sure that we understand what our users want to find and that they can find it. Sometimes this will involve adding a new clause to a query builder, sometimes you will do some computational geometry on hundreds of millions of objects, and other times you will be cleaning the public openstreetmap data for open source use.
