You will also collaborate with global development teams across Europe, Canada, and the United States, contributing to a dynamic and international engineering environment.
Responsibilities include:
- Collaborate closely with geophysicists, data scientists, and software engineers to translate scientific domain requirements into robust on-prem or Cloud software solutions.
- Design, develop, and maintain high-performance applications for geophysical data analysis, interpretation and visualization (e.g., seismic, horizon, fault, velocity model, etc.)
- Present architectural designs and technical proposals to the architecture review board.
- Ability to break down development tasks and lay out clear implementation roadmaps.
- Implement and optimize computation algorithms for seismic attribute, fault and horizon tracking and related geophysical processes
- Design and develop both thin and thick client applications that interact with cloud-based microservices.
- Integrate applications with existing DSG geoscience platforms and Dsp data/visualization pipelines.
- Ensure high code quality through unit testing, code reviews, security hardening and continuous integration with other domain tools
- Provide technical support and lead user troubleshooting sessions to resolve issues and ensure smooth operation of DSG application.
- Mentor junior developers and actively contribute to architectural and implementation decisions.
- Embrace Agile/Scrum methodologies, delivering and demonstrating working solutions at the end of each sprint
- Stay current with emerging technologies and trends in geophysical computing and software development.
