About Afterrealism

Afterrealism is a small geospatial software consultancy in Canberra. We build maps, data platforms, and cloud systems for organisations across Australia to a standard set inside Geoscience Australia and CSIRO.

Small is the point: you work directly with the founder, your decisions ship, and you can see exactly where your work lands.

About the role

You'll build the software side of our geospatial work: interactive web maps, spatial APIs, tile services, and the data pipelines that feed them.

Our stack leans modern and open — SvelteKit, MapLibre, deck.gl, PostGIS, cloud-native formats like COG and PMTiles, and edge deployment on Cloudflare. You'll ship real systems that real organisations depend on.

What you'll do

• Build interactive web mapping applications (MapLibre, deck.gl, or similar)
• Design and run spatial APIs and tile services (vector tiles, COG, PMTiles)
• Model and query spatial data in PostGIS
• Build ETL pipelines for geospatial data
• Deploy and operate services on cloud platforms

What we're looking for

• Solid JavaScript/TypeScript
• Experience with at least one modern web mapping library
• SQL and PostGIS fundamentals
• Comfortable with Git and code review
• Pragmatic API design instincts

Nice to have

• SvelteKit or another modern meta-framework
• Serverless / edge platforms (Cloudflare Workers, Lambda)
• GDAL and the command-line geospatial toolbox
• Open-source contributions

Pay: Rs20,000.00 - Rs80,000.00 per month
