GIS Expert (Senior Developer/SME)

About the project: Key priorities include the full productization and automation of the Privatschutz (PSGEO) solution (Germany-specific Quote&Buy journey enablement), tighter identity and access management, migration of code to cloud-native Golang, and the integration of Kafka streaming to boost real-time performance. In addition, the team will deliver API upgrades (including vendor integration and performance tuning), custom monitoring via Dynatrace, and dedicated R&D initiatives to stay ahead of evolving business needs.​ Specialized contractors will support this transformation with expertise in API development, multi-tenancy evolution, GIS tool integration, secure architecture design, script optimization, and cost efficiency measures. Together, these initiatives will deliver a modern, secure, and scalable GIS platform that supports Allianz Groups 2026 requirements and beyond.​ ​ Primary Skills: Python API, Golang, Azure, Here/Google GIS)​ Secondary: GIS Integrations, Azure Key Responsibilities ​ Code Unification & Cleanup ​ Migrate Azure functions and scripts from Python to Golang for improved performance and maintainability.​ Eliminate redundant resources and streamline pipelines to drive efficiency and cost savings.
