- 1-10 datasets depending on success and accuracy for output results
- GIS fundamentals (raster to vector, georeferencing, tiling)
- Medium to strong Python engineering skills
- Experience with raster processing and GDAL ecosystem tools
- OCR or computer vision experience applied to non-document imagery
- Ability to reason about map symbology, labels, and visual artifacts
- Great communication skills (English)
- Experience with WMS / GeoServer-based workflows
- PaddleOCR, MMOCR, or similar OCR frameworks
- Large-scale geospatial batch processing
- QGIS scripting or plugin experience
- Prior work with digitizing/vectorizing cartographic or planning maps
