Software Developer

Description:

DHI, a world-leading company in water, environment, and sustainability solutions, is seeking a highly skilled Front-end Developer with solid experience in the water domain to join its team in Vancouver, BC. This position provides a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge digital solutions that address real-world challenges in water management, climate impact, and environmental sustainability.

The successful candidate will design and develop advanced front-end functionality using React and TypeScript, supporting projects across Canada and globally. As there is no local development team in Canada, the developer will work independently, ensuring high-quality and efficient code delivery aligned with DHI’s global coding standards and architecture principles.

This position is ideal for a developer passionate about the intersection of technology and environmental impact, capable of handling large datasets, GIS integration, and time-series visualization, while collaborating with multinational teams across Denmark, Singapore, Czechia, and Australia.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, implement, and maintain front-end functionality for global software projects using React and TypeScript.

• Collaborate with international teams to support Canadian and worldwide projects in the water and environmental domains.

• Ensure front-end code meets high standards of performance, scalability, and maintainability.

• Work directly with DHI’s UX and architecture teams to align deliverables with design and code quality expectations.

• Handle visualization of large scientific and environmental datasets (2M+ elements), including GIS and time-series data.

• Collaborate closely with DHI’s water domain experts to integrate scientific models and forecasting data into visual applications.

• Write clean, testable, and well-documented code, avoiding AI-generated coding per company policy.

• Defend and justify architectural decisions related to API and front-end design.

• Support the deployment and maintenance of applications in production environments.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• 4+ years of proven experience in front-end software development for commercial or custom-built applications.

• Strong hands-on experience with React and TypeScript.

• Experience working with GIS services, spatial data, and data visualization tools.

• Familiarity with time-series data storage, querying, and visualization techniques.

• Direct experience working within the water domain — marine, coastal, river, or urban systems.

• Proficiency with DHI MIKE software or similar environmental modeling libraries.

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Information Technology.

• Excellent analytical thinking, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills.

• Strong English communication skills (both written and verbal).

• Must be legally eligible to work in Canada.

Desirable Skills:

• Experience with .NET, C#, or Python for backend development.

• Familiarity with PostgreSQL, SQLite, and other database management tools.

• Knowledge of Agile methodologies and experience with Azure DevOps or JIRA.

• Prior experience leading technical decisions in software architecture.

What DHI Offers:

• Opportunity to contribute to global sustainability and environmental protection.

• Exposure to international multidisciplinary teams working on advanced digital water solutions.

• Involvement in projects from concept to deployment, influencing real-world outcomes.

• Professional growth and autonomy – DHI empowers employees to innovate and expand their expertise.

• A dynamic, flexible work environment promoting creativity, collaboration, and work-life balance.

• Option to work remotely from home or from the Vancouver office.
