UMI is growing and looking to expand its core team to include a seasoned technology professional who is comfortable managing projects, interfacing with customers, speaking at public events, designing systems architecture, overseeing offshore development, contributing to core products and developing/maintaining new ones.

Only those comfortable with the entrepreneurial ethic need apply–that means a can do ‘whatever the cost’ attitude, passion for the geospatial, excitement over creating the Next Big Thing and interest in joining a small group of management-limited, relatively meetings-free run and gun starup.

We don’t have a job description for this role, but can tell you a few things we look for:

• 15+ years experience
• Extensive project management/people skills
• Varied DBMS skills - you need not be a DBA, but you must have strong competency with flavors of SQL
• Varied programming skills - Programming isn’t something you’ll need to do (much of), but you must have this foundation to be able to manage others and make informed decisions about technology strategy
• Varied systems/environment skills - Vservers, various flavors of Linux, SOAP, REST, etc, etc…
• Geointerest or background

We aren’t looking for a lifelong ESRI booster. Somebody who understands the geo in the context of interactive web applications will have the ability to quickly learn and adapt. For Urban Mapping, the technology is only a means, not the ends, to achieve our goals.

If you are interested in this role, please forward a resume with a note describing your interest. Send it to talent [at] urbanmapping [dot] com with GEOTECHNOLOGIST in the headline.
