Trinzic is hiring a Software Engineer 3 (hybrid in Sioux Falls, SD) to help advance geospatial data processing, storage, and distribution for USGS Science projects. This role focuses on leading design and delivery across large-scale applications, databases, and workflows, with opportunities to integrate Apache Airflow, research USGS-approved AI technologies for cost-saving uses, and plan migrations toward Kubernetes container architectures.

Responsibilities

• Support geospatial data processing, storage, and distribution for USGS Science projects.
• Conduct all software activities in alignment with the Software Development Life Cycle.
• Lead, communicate, and coordinate technical status and activities with Enterprise Architects, Software Engineers, and other project team members for large-scale application and infrastructure delivery.
• Analyze system and user requirements to define and develop software requirements.
• Identify software design and development tasks and provide work estimates.
• Perform and document preliminary and detailed component designs for software products.
• Maintain required processes and ensure documentation is properly maintained.
• Manage and participate in peer review processes.
• Create, administer, and troubleshoot databases that process large volumes of information while maintaining security.
• Analyze and maintain existing databases and research new database features.
• Optimize database systems for performance, including query optimization support for users.
• Prepare design specifications and functional documentation for assigned software, database, and user interface tasks.
• Integrate Apache Airflow into current data processing systems to improve Python data processing workflows.
• Design geospatial processing systems and databases using best practices for on-premises and potential future cloud architectures.
• Research USGS-approved AI technologies to support cost-saving use cases.
• Work with Enterprise Architects and System Administrators to plan future migrations to Kubernetes containers.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, or a related field, plus 5 years of progressive post-baccalaureate related experience.
