Software Developer (3D Visualisation & Mapping) – DeepTech Startup
Type: Full-time
Salary: Competitive + Equity Options
Build the interface between the digital and physical world.
We’re working with a venture-backed DeepTech startup building next-generation spatial intelligence products that transform complex real-world environments into immersive, interactive digital experiences.
This is not another dashboard role.
You’ll be shaping the frontend experience for a platform centred around 3D visualisation, geospatial data, digital twins, and real-time interaction — helping users explore, understand, and act on rich spatial datasets at scale.
If building high-performance web applications that feel closer to simulation engines than traditional SaaS excites you, keep reading.
The Role
We’re looking for a Frontend Developer to own and evolve the visual layer of a cutting-edge platform combining mapping, 3D rendering, and data-rich user experiences.
You’ll work across product, engineering and design to create intuitive interfaces that make sophisticated spatial and analytical workflows feel effortless.
Expect to work on:
- Building immersive 3D web experiences and spatial interfaces
- Developing interactive digital twin environments for real-world assets and systems
- Creating performant geospatial visualisations using Mapbox, GIS datasets, and custom rendering pipelines
- Designing responsive experiences around WebGL and real-time data interaction
- Implementing engaging UX patterns inspired by gamification, simulation and exploration tools
- Translating large-scale location and sensor datasets into intuitive visual experiences
- Optimising rendering performance across browsers and devices
- Collaborating closely with backend, platform and data teams to deliver production-grade visual products
Tech Stack (experience in some, not all, is fine)
- TypeScript / JavaScript
- React
- Three.js
- WebGL
- Mapbox GL / Mapbox SDK
- GIS / Geospatial data
- Deck.gl
- Cesium
- REST APIs / GraphQL
- Modern frontend architecture and performance optimisation
We’d love to hear from people who have:
- Experience building interactive 3D or visual-first web applications
- Worked with mapping platforms, spatial computing, GIS or location intelligence
- Built products involving digital twins, simulation, modelling or geospatial analytics
- Strong understanding of frontend performance and rendering constraints
- A product mindset and interest in turning complex systems into intuitive experiences
- Curiosity around emerging technologies across DeepTech, spatial computing, XR or real-time visualisation
Nice to Have
- Experience with game engines or game-inspired UX
- Knowledge of geospatial pipelines, tiles, coordinate systems and map projections
- Exposure to WebGPU, shaders, or custom rendering
- Experience visualising IoT, telemetry or live data streams
- Familiarity with gamification mechanics, interaction design, and immersive environments
Why Join?
- Build technology at the edge of mapping, simulation and digital infrastructure
- Work on meaningful technical challenges with visible product impact
- Small team, fast decisions, strong engineering culture
- Equity upside and the chance to shape a category-defining platform
- If you enjoy building products where maps become interfaces, data becomes environments, and the browser becomes a simulation engine, this is likely worth a conversation.
