Senior Geospatial Analyst - Hunt

Missoula, 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.

You will collaborate closely with Hunt Product Managers, a Geospatial Project Manager, as well as with developers, and designers, to execute geospatial work that supports the Hunt product roadmap.

This role is focused on implementation and delivery. You will apply strong technical judgment to build, maintain, and validate geospatial datasets and pipelines that are performant, scalable, and trustworthy.

This role lives within the Content domain, which is responsible for cartography, data processing, data analysis, and data sourcing across onX. You will be part of a broader team of Geospatial Analysts, Geospatial Project Managers, and Engineers supporting multiple verticals across the organization. 

This is a unique opportunity to lead mapping innovation at a company passionate about outdoor recreation and technical excellence. This position reports to the Senior Manager, Geospatial.

  • Serve as the Senior Geospatial Analyst supporting the Hunt vertical, owning the technical approach, sequencing, and delivery of geospatial work defined by the Geospatial Project Manager/Subject-Matter Expert.
  • Execute geospatial work that supports connected content initiatives by implementing datasets and workflows that enable Hunt content to be used consistently across multiple product features and experiences.
  • Support content trust initiatives by executing audits, refreshes, and cleanup of high-impact Hunt datasets, applying technical judgement to ensure content is accurate, maintainable, and fit for long-term use, including identifying candidates for update, replacement, or retirement.
  • 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.
  • Lead 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 data quality risks, pipeline gaps, or platform limitations and surface recommendations to the Hunt PM/SME and Geospatial Manager.
  • Partner closely with engineers to ensure geospatial solutions are performant, maintainable, and aligned with platform best practices.
  • Own the end-to-end execution quality of assigned initiatives, from intake through production release and post-launch validation.
  • 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 Analysts as needed.
  • Communicate clearly and confidently about technical decisions, risks, and progress to cross-functional partners.
  • Other ad hoc duties as assigned by the Supervisor.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

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