Geospatial Analyst III

Bozeman, Montana, United States

ABOUT onX

As a pioneer in digital outdoor navigation with a suite of apps, onX was founded in Montana, which in turn has inspired our mission to awaken the adventurer inside everyone. With more than 400 employees located around the country working in largely remote / hybrid roles, we have created regional “Basecamps” to help remote employees find connection and inspiration with other onXers. We bring our outdoor passion to work every day, coupling it with industry-leading technology to craft dynamic outdoor experiences. 

Through multiple years of growth, we haven’t lost our entrepreneurial ethos at onX. We offer a fast-paced, growing, tech-forward environment where ownership, accountability, and passion for winning as a team are essential. We value diversity and believe it leads to different perspectives and inspires both new adventures and new growth. As a team, we’re hungry to improve, value innovation, and believe great ideas come from any direction. 

 

ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY

onX is seeking a Geospatial Analyst III who will contribute to meaningful, real-world outcomes that have a lasting impact for customers and the business. In this role, you’ll focus on the Fish vertical, and play a critical role as part of the Geospatial team, ensuring Fish-related geospatial content moves reliably through onX systems and into customers’ hands. You’ll take ownership of your work, collaborate closely with partners across the organization, and help move initiatives forward in an environment where priorities evolve, learning is celebrated, and you’re encouraged to keep stretching your skills. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO
Essential Job Duties & Functions

  • Serve as the Geospatial Analyst supporting the Fish vertical, supporting the technical approach, sequencing, and delivery of geospatial work defined by the Fish Geospatial Project Manager.
  • Execute geospatial work that supports connected content initiatives by implementing datasets and workflows that enable Fish content to be used consistently across multiple product features and experiences.
  • Support content trust initiatives by identifying opportunities to strengthen QC checks and quality gates within Fish data pipelines, proactively suggesting and helping implement process improvements alongside senior analysts. Execute targeted audits, refreshes, and cleanup of Fish datasets as needed, applying technical judgment to determine which datasets should be updated, replaced, or retired.
  • Leverage existing geospatial pipelines and contribute to the improvement and development of new processes as needed, ensuring reliable delivery of data from source systems into customer-facing products and services.
  • Support complex geospatial processing and analysis such as multi-source data integration, conflation, and large-scale QA/QC, applying expert judgment to resolve ambiguity and edge cases.
  • Use Claude Code and other AI tools to generate, optimize, and automate geospatial workflows, including feature extraction, segmentation, classification, conflation, and QA.
  • Proactively identify improvement opportunities in conflation workflows for multi-source polygon integration and communicate recommendations to the Fish Geospatial Project Manager, Content Systems Product Managers, and Engineers.
  • Analyze data, create dashboards, and monitor data health metrics to provide insights that inform the team on project status.
  • Identify gaps in Fish data sources, making recommendations for new sources or improvements to existing ones.
  • Partner closely with senior Geospatial Analysts and Engineers to refine and optimize data acquisition and processing approaches, ensuring geospatial solutions are performant, maintainable, and aligned with the business roadmap.
  • Use version control (Git) and collaborative workflows to drive consistency and repeatability across the broader Geospatial team.
  • Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to other Geospatial Specialists as needed.
  • Communicate clearly and confidently about workflow ideas, risks, and progress to cross-functional partners.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

  • Bachelor’s degree in Geospatial, Geospatial Engineering, Computer Science, Hydrology, Geography, or related field; or equivalent technical experience.

  • Strong Python skills, including experience with GDAL, geopandas, PyQGIS, and automation frameworks.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate within complex spatial data pipelines, conflation systems, using version control (Git), and collaborative workflows to deliver reliable, maintainable solutions.
  • Proven ability to use Claude Code or other AI coding assistants to generate scripts, automate tasks, and accelerate spatial workflows.
  • Familiarity with sourcing and processing Fish-relevant datasets such as waterbodies, fisheries surveys, bathymetry, and boat ramps.
  • Proven ability to work autonomously on complex, ambiguous projects, bringing structure, clarity, and execution rigor to ambiguous problem spaces.
  • Familiarity with cloud-based storage, Airflow, and Docker.
  • Permanent US work authorization is a condition of employment with onX.
  • Ability to travel bi-annually for multiple days to a corporate office or other onX strategic location, such as a Basecamp.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
