Below are just some of the challenges and problems we are trying to solve here at Gro. If you can help us with one or more we would love to speak with you – particularly if you’re eager to see your work have a bigger impact on the world
Scale our data ingestion and indexing pipelines, to handle orders of magnitude more data (e.g. rasterized/pixel data vs region-encoded data)
Decompose serving monoliths into a microservices/service-oriented architecture
Obsess over query performance and data schemas to enable efficiency and speed at ever-growing scale
Rethink and revamp our CI/CD process to find the sweet spot between nimbleness and stability

A great team player; someone with a point of view who knows how to humbly express it
Open-minded about languages/tools/frameworks, and able to make good decisions about which to use (and when) to solve a particular problem
