We're hiring: Platform Engineer (Geospatial) - Dubai
Airscope Tech has been delivering drone surveys and construction site monitoring across the UAE. Our AirTech Portal puts orthophotos, 3D models, 360° panoramas, timelapse and live PTZ camera feeds in front of some of the region's largest developers - it is live, it carries paying clients, and it is central to how they see their projects.
We are looking for an engineer to take ownership of the platform: keep it running, keep it secure, and keep it moving forward.

What we need
Solid full-stack JavaScript experience, with work shipped to production

Good security habits - session/JWT auth, access control, handling secrets properly
Web mapping or 3D on the web (Leaflet, MapLibre, CesiumJS or Three.js)
Confident using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor or similar) day to day
Able to pick up a well-documented but complex codebase and grow into owning it
Great if you also have
