Since 1982, we have been active in more than 130 countries and continuously expand the scope of our work, which currently includes ten technical business areas and corresponding departments.

What we offer:
We work at the heart of International Cooperation; finding solutions to global challenges through our projects and diverse team of employees from all over the world. In this context, we lay the foundation for you to grow with GFA.
We invite you to explore the potential of using satellite imagery, GIS-based data – and the intersection of machine learning and remote sensing - in applications across all areas of our work.
This job can be performed from anywhere. However, as close cooperation with several teams is at the core, regular visits to GFA’s head office in Hamburg will be necessary, in particular at the beginning.
Our flexible working time model, the possibility to work from anywhere, and our family-orientated company policy facilitate a healthy work-life balance.
In addition, the sense of purpose and community at GFA is very important to us. With GFA, you will join a close network of mission-driven development professionals spread across the world. We regularly organize social events for people to get to know each other and to provide opportunities for exchange.
Your responsibilities:
Jointly with colleagues from the digital innovation cluster and the data team, you are exploring additional potentials for using geospatial data in GFA’s existing work and future opportunities ahead. We intend to focus on open data and its combination with other private and public data from official statistics, surveys, digital devices, etc. We are also constantly developing the business case for the identified potentials further.
Consequently, your work may include:
- Cooperating with colleagues from technical departments within GFA to generate new ideas for digital and data-driven solutions
- Contributing actively to the further development of data-driven solutions in GFA
- Networking with donor agencies, beneficiaries, partner institutions, subcontractors and experts
- Acquiring new projects, including elaboration of technical and financial proposals in the field of geospatial data
- Supporting the management of ongoing projects and studies that develop, pilot, implement or scale solutions based on geospatial data
- Conducting consultancy missions
- Elaborating reports, concepts and presentations and thereby contributing to knowledge management and representing GFA in conferences and seminars.
Qualifications
Your profile ideally has most of the following:
- University degree (e.g. Master) in a relevant area, such as geography, geoinformatics, statistics, (spatial) data science, computer science or another degree with a quantitative focus
- Advanced knowledge of geospatial data acquisition and processing, including the relevant tools such as Google earth engine, QGIS/ArcGIS, etc., preferably from different sub-sectors (e.g. land use change detection, climate or agriculture and urban development)
- Experience in web-based applications for making analyses accessible to users is an advantage; in particular javascript-based web frameworks for business intelligence and geospatial analytics
- Good knowledge of Python would be preferred
- Experience with geospatial machine learning would be great
- Experience with development tools, workflows and platforms (e.g. Git, Jira, docker, VMs etc)
- Relevant experience in the context of development cooperation is an asset, preferably related to the assessment and interpretation of data in this context
