About the Role: We’re looking for a Land Administration Geospatial and Cadastre Solution Engineer to work alongside our Geospatial Software Engineers and product teams, bringing deep land administration, cadastral, mapping, and surveying domain expertise into the modern land administration solution we design, propose, and deliver.
A strong understanding of modern land surveying workflows and technologies is central to this role. Cadastral solutions only work when they reflect how boundary evidence is actually captured and validated in the field. You will draw on knowledge of survey data acquisition, coordinate reference systems, and the integration of survey-grade spatial data into land administration systems to ensure that your solution designs are grounded in technical and operational reality from the ground up. Awareness of the breadth of sophistication of land administration survey/cadastre solutions from fit-for-purpose cadastre, open-source solutions, commercial GIS solutions, fabric aware parcel fabrics and 3D cadastre solutions would be very desirable.
This role is critical to ensuring that LAC’s solutions truly reflect how land administration organizations operate in the real world. You will act as the bridge between customers, sales, product, and engineering, translating customer goals, operational workflows, and regulatory realities into clear business rules, requirements, and solution concepts.
You’ll engage directly with customers and internal teams to gather feedback, clarify requirements, prioritize enhancements and fixes, and communicate progress through concise presentations and reporting. You will lead structured discovery, pre‑solution, and validation workshops, guiding stakeholders through operational workflows, decision points, and constraints. You will synthesize these discussions into business rules, workflow models, and functional requirements that development teams can confidently design and implement.
Many land administration organizations know their outcomes but struggle to translate them into system requirements. This role ensures LAC consistently bridges that gap, reducing rework, improving solution fit, and increasing customer confidence from first conversation through delivery.
This role is intentionally domain‑led rather than software engineering‑led. You will not be expected to design software architectures or write code. Instead, you will ensure that solution designs are grounded in real operational workflows, policy constraints, and domain realities, enabling engineering teams to focus on building the right thing the first time. The proven ability to generate written, clear, coherent product specifications fit to drive software development is a must.
In pre‑sales contexts, responsible for creating winning proposals that are credible, defensible, and grounded in customer needs and domain reality. By shaping solution narratives, validating scope assumptions, and aligning proposed approaches with customer operations, you reduce delivery risk while increasing win probability.
Success in this role means being fluent in both “customer talk” and “solution talk,” acting as the connective tissue between customers, sales, product, and development—so that what LAC sells, builds, and delivers aligns with how land administration organizations work.
