**About us**:
Global Fishing Watch (GFW) is an international, nonprofit organization advancing transparency of human activity at sea to improve the management of our ocean. We do research, develop technology, and publicly share data about human activities and associated impact to enable a fair and sustainable use of our ocean. Founded in 2015 through a collaboration between Oceana, SkyTruth, and Google, GFW became an independent organization in June 2017. Using machine learning, cloud computing, and satellite data, we have produced the first global mapping of industrial fishing and energy development across the ocean. By 2030, we aim to map the activity of most ocean-going vessels and offshore infrastructure, all the way from small-scale and industrial fishing to transport and energy activities. We believe human activity at sea should be public knowledge in order to safeguard the global ocean commons for the benefit of all.
**The Position**
The engineering team at GFW is in charge of processing the raw data and making it publicly and freely available through various products to different audiences. These products include data hosted in public Google BigQuery datasets, public APIs, and interactive web-based front-end tools. The front-end products seek to make complex geo-temporal data accessible to users with no data science or data engineering backgrounds while making sure that people with mid-level computers and slow internet connections can access them.
Global Fishing Watch is looking to add a front-end developer to its front-end team to be able to boost the production, improvement and maintenance of its front-end products. In the past few years we have expanded the user base significantly and the digital product team continuously research their needs which brings new requirements and issues that are found while using our front-end products. While implementing this requirements and fixing issues we look to reduce technical-debt and keep the core infrastructure up do date with latest technologies, making our products be more stable, robust and easy to maintain, as an example of this we migrated our map from using Mapbox stack to use Deck-GL what is enabling us to do several new kinds of visualizations and reducing the load on users CPUs. Also, GFW research team is always creating new knowledge, with this comes the challenges of visualizing data that has never showed before and making it readable and useful.
The role includes working closely with the GFW research and tech team; product-managers, data-scientist, QA, researchers, and other stakeholders.
We are looking for a talented programmer who is committed, enthusiastic, creative, and proactive. This person will work closely with others in the front-end team but will also need to work autonomously. We are looking for someone who cares not only about delivering good code but also about how good our products are for our users.
What you will be working on:
- **Interactive maps** showing vessel tracks, fishing activity heatmaps, encounters in high seas, etc., through time; Our main map is the entry point to our data, allowing users to do deep analysis without the need of coding or accessing/downloading the data.
- **Interactive Graphs and Reports** used to analyze vessel activity and identify illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and related activities;
- **Tools for users to display and analyze** their own datasets alongside GFW's datasets;
- **Interactive articles **(i.e. "scrollytelling") and other pieces to highlight our research team's work (papers);
- **Internal tools** to help collect and classify satellite data;
- A wide variety of proof of concepts, experimental mapping work, etc.
**Principal Duties and Responsibilities**
- **Develop and maintain front-end products to visualize GFW datasets** using the latest standards and best practices;
- Build products with a focus on **performance, responsiveness and cross-browser testing**, as our users are diverse and operate on a diverse set of equipment and connectivity;
- **Review wireframes and visual designs** created by our UX designer, and requirements by the functional analyst; ask any necessary clarifying questions before starting on work.
- Create prototypes, mockups, and staging sites for review and feedback;
- **Diagnose and solve complex problems**, whether conceptual problems, bugs or performance issues;
- Work jointly with the QA area; write **unit and end-to-end tests**; help the team level-up their testing skills;
- Write clear code and documentation allowing the easy interpretation of other members of the team;
- Publish internally developed tools as open-source projects;
- Review the technical design and perform code review of other developers' work. Help improve the developer experience;
- Help choose the right technology stack for the next-generation data platform. Be curious, never settle.
