The role focuses on analyzing spatial data and building GIS tools, applications, automated workflows, and geospatial products using the Esri/ArcGIS ecosystem. Senior-level candidates will independently own technical initiatives and help lead the design and delivery of geospatial solutions.
Responsibilities
- Analyze complex spatial datasets and develop scalable geospatial solutions that support enterprise business and operational needs
- Design and build GIS tools, applications, web maps, geoprocessing services, and automated spatial workflows using the Esri/ArcGIS platform
- Develop Python-based geospatial solutions using tools such as ArcPy and ArcGIS API for Python
- Work with ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro, and Experience Builder to develop user-facing geospatial products
- Design and improve geodatabases, spatial data models, and spatial ETL processes
- Build automated QA/QC and data-integrity processes for spatial datasets
- Develop and integrate ArcGIS REST APIs and other APIs into applications and workflows
- Translate backend spatial analysis and data science work into practical tools and applications for GIS analysts and internal customers
- Support remote sensing, imagery analysis, and machine learning/GeoAI initiatives, including feature extraction from imagery
- Collaborate with GIS professionals, data scientists, engineers, and business stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver usable solutions
- Explore emerging capabilities involving Databricks, AI-assisted coding, machine learning, and GeoAI
