Company mission
Sensat is empowering teams to reshape the built environment through cutting-edge geospatial solutions. We’re building a digital co-pilot for reshaping the physical world.
Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone to bridge the gap between our massive geospatial datasets and a seamless user experience
- You'll have solid experience building full-stack web applications, with hands-on work across frontend, API, and database layers
- Strong experience in a modern frontend framework (e.g. Angular 17+, React, or Vue) for building complex, data-rich applications
- You’ll have significant experience with data-oriented web applications
- Understanding of data modelling in a production context
- Experience with backend languages for building scalable production systems. We use Go in our stack but experience in any language is welcome
- You demonstrate a strong attention to detail and a commitment to clean code, balancing technical excellence with the practical outcomes required
- You are an independent problem-solver who takes initiative on features, collaborates openly, and pitches in wherever the team needs support
- You actively share your knowledge with the team, help onboard new members, and consistently look for ways to improve our day-to-day development workflow
- 2+ years commercial development experience, demonstrating your ability to build, test, and ship reliable code
Desirable
- Hands on experience with gRPC and Protocol Buffers for API design and defining service contracts
- Side-projects or participation in open source projects in a related field
- Prior work in geospatial, web mapping or construction industries
What the job involves
- This is a high-trust, high-impact role
- Sensat engineers solve problems rather than solely implement solutions
- You’ll define the direction of our knowledge model, contribute across the platform to ensure our customers have a well rounded experience, and help the team continuously raise the bar
- Build responsive, accessible user interfaces that make complex geospatial and 2D/3D/4D spatial data intuitive to interact with
- Collaborate with Product and Design to refine ideas and turn them into scalable, performant, and maintainable software solutions
- Design and implement APIs to process and serve data, using Protocol Buffers and gRPC for service contracts
- Work with relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL) to design schemas, write efficient queries, and ensure data integrity
- Contribute to and improve the standards for software engineering, such as code quality, automated testing, documentation / knowledge sharing, and broader team processes
- Contribute to maintaining the reliability of Sensat’s enterprise platform
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Sensat creates digital twins, or digital representations of real world locations, to help users better understand the physical world. Choosing to target the historically non-innovative construction industry, the company has also received interest from other organisations, and it's likely that there are many possible applications yet to be considered.
Sensat's success so far has been clear. Its tech has been a central part of over £10.5 billion worth of major infrastructure builds, and it was the first company in the UK licensed to fly autonomous drones beyond visual line of sight over major motorways. In general, the company is considered ahead of the curve in construction-focused digital twin technology, and it will be interesting to see how it develops in the future.
