Calling all geowiz talent

April 25th, 2009

UMI is looking for a few renegade programmers to help grow our technical and customer base. We’re looking for junior and midlevel talent–anywhere from 1-5 years experience to help in a variety of technical areas. The work is always challenging and new. Currently we need help to support development of our mass transit routing platform, which includes a multimodal routing engine, massive data ingestion/normalization, cloud deployment and operational support. Obsession with public transportation, routing, optimization and related interests are welcome.

We follow a bit of a modified agile development model, value lean management and love taking products to market long before competition has conceived of them. Specific skills we seek include: RDBMS, Python, Java, Ruby, C/C++, Perl, Objective C/iPhone development, Postgres/Postgis, SQL, GIS, HTML, Javascript, Linux setup/ops.

If this sounds interesting to you, please drop us a line with a bit about your background, recent hack and anything else that sets you apart. Please direct to talent(at)urbanmapping(dot)com.
