At Cesium, we are building a platform for creating 3D mapping applications. Driven by commercial innovation, we are revolutionizing geospatial tools used by the Department of Defense and Federal agencies. Our goal is to enhance operational situational awareness for intelligence officers, operators, and first responders by giving them tools to map their surroundings in a digital 3D environment on the ground.
We're looking for an experienced JavaScript developer with a proven track record of working with DOD users to help us showcase the potential of Cesium and why we're so excited about bringing 3D geospatial technology to solve mission-critical problems that save lives.
What you will do:
- Build first of its kind demos and prototype applications by applying Cesium's technology to multi-domain DOD use cases and have an outsized impact on the future Cesium products and 3D geospatial applications for mission-critical purposes.
- Lead DOD workshops, conferences, and events to showcase Cesium's technology, and gather feedback on how we can add even more value for our users and their missions.
- Serve as the technical point of contact with branches like SOCOM, Army, Navy, and NGA.

Cesium is a platform for 3D geospatial data - we enable developers and data providers to build dynamic 3D geospatial applications more easily. 3D data is being collected all around us, nearly all the time. We're making this 3D data more usable so we can better understand our world. We've been building Cesium for almost 10 years and it's production tested with companies like Red Bull and Komatsu, government agencies like the NGA, and high traffic events like NORAD's annual Santa Tracker. Our user base is growing every day and you'll help us make sure their experience is impressive.
