Benefits
Open positions
Lutra Consulting Ltd. is hiring a Geospatial Systems Engineer for a fully remote position. This role is aligned with the UK timezone and offers a full-time, flexible schedule.
The primary responsibility of this role is the deployment, administration, and maintenance of the open-source GIS infrastructure used by Lutra and our clients. Our stack is based on PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GeoServer, QGIS, and Mergin Maps. Most on-premises deployments occur within Windows-based enterprise environments.

- Configure and maintain services on Windows Server environments
- Operate and troubleshoot Java-based server applications (e.g. GeoServer)
- Assist migrating clients from proprietary systems to an open-source GIS stack

- Develop scripts or tools to automate data migration and operational workflows
- Work with internal teams to standardize deployment practices

- Professional working proficiency in English (B2 or equivalent)
- Experience with Windows server administration
- Experience managing server applications and services
