What search terms would one use for finding roles in companies like this, as an experienced dev with a strong background in GIS and open source tools? E.g. Postgis/Pydata/mapbox-gl et. al.
GIS is a huge space, and you could specialize in one niche for years or go more general, so it's really based on what you want to do.
I'd say there's three or four general areas: mapping & map data (mostly focused on visualization), geocoding & search (focused on helping people find things in natural language, think text -> coordinates, text -> point of interest -> coordinate), routing (focused on the mechanics of getting things from point a to point b efficiently), and finally a huge, diverse bucket of "other location APIs" (anything from geofencing to timezones to ETL specialization).
I'm happy to chat about this. We aren't hiring, but there are lots of companies that are.
