Continuum Industries is on a mission to help the world accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future using Artificial Intelligence. We have developed Optioneer, an AI-powered tool that helps plan new infrastructure projects much faster, more sustainably and with lower risk. Since launch, we have supported over 40,000 km of new linear infrastructure; underground and subsea power cables, overhead transmission lines, hydrogen, and water pipelines. Optioneer is already used by enterprise infrastructure organisations such as; National Grid, BP, RWE, SSEN Transmission, Iberdrola and National Gas Transmission in the US, UK and Europe.
GIS is part of our Customer Success (CS) team; a multi-functional team, primarily focused on servicing customer relationships and maintaining our data catalogue. The GIS team supports CS by developing tools for the acquisition and processing of data in new geographies, as well as developing approaches to new product offerings. This includes prototyping new use cases, workflows, and automation. Continuum Industries manages a library of terabytes of spatial data covering the UK, Ireland, Europe, and North America. We connect to multiple types of spatial data services and are rapidly expanding to cover more geographies and technologies.
You will be working in a capacity that impacts every project that comes through Continuum Industries and directly influences the product offering in Optioneer. Your time will be spent developing key relationships with GIS data providers, maintaining interfaces to APIs and data sources, and encouraging best practices for the storage and analysis of worldwide spatial data. These solutions may include developing specifications for new products and ensuring Optioneer as an offering is compatible with industry standards.
Key Responsibilities:
- Interfacing with APIs: Use a variety of technologies that are used for distributing spatial data to curate and grow our data offering
- Data Integrity: Ensure that we are adhering to specifications and that our data repository grows sustainably
