The work:

We are seeking an experienced engineer to modernize a legacy OpenGL desktop rendering engine and transform it into a high‑performance, browser-based geospatial visualization platform. This role focuses on delivering advanced meteorological visualizations—including satellite imagery, radar products, gridded forecasts, and multi-layer datasets—directly in the web environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and implement a WebGL-based rendering pipeline to replace the existing OpenGL IGraphicsTarget abstraction.
Develop custom GLSL shaders for meteorological visualization (contours, vector fields, wind fields, temperature gradients).
Integrate modern web mapping frameworks such as Mapbox GL JS, CesiumJS, OpenLayers, or Leaflet.
Implement map projection transformations and coordinate system conversions.
Optimize rendering for large datasets (multi‑GB satellite imagery, high‑resolution radar) while achieving smooth 60fps animation.
Build and optimize data streaming workflows from AWS services (S3, CloudFront) to the browser.
Work with diverse geospatial and meteorological data formats including HDF5, netCDF, GRIB2, GeoTIFF, and Shapefiles.

Here's what you need:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, GIS, or a related field.
3+ years of experience in web application development and backend microservices.
Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration tools such as EKS.
Expert-level proficiency in WebGL and associated frameworks (Three.js, Babylon.js, or custom pipelines).
Strong understanding of geospatial fundamentals: map projections, coordinate systems, and datum transformations.
Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, including Web Workers and asynchronous programming patterns.
Strong graphics programming background with experience in GLSL shaders, GPU optimization, and rendering pipelines.
Experience with large-scale scientific visualization and meteorological or environmental data.
AWS deployment experience (S3, CloudFront, Lambda, API Gateway).

Bonus Points:

Experience migrating legacy desktop GIS or visualization applications to modern web platforms.
Background working with meteorological systems or atmospheric science data.
Academic or professional experience in computer graphics or computational geometry.
Familiarity with Eclipse RCP applications and Python geospatial tools (GDAL, Shapely).

As required by local law, Accenture Federal Services provides reasonable ranges of compensation for hired roles based on labor costs in the states of California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, pythonjavatypescriptjavascriptgoawsdockeraibackenddata
