  • Participate in all levels of the development lifecycle, including direct client interaction
  • Lead, collaborate and work in an agile team environment
  • Think “outside of the box” and find efficient ways to translate high-level visions to concrete tools and applications
  • Consult with client and team members on technical design approaches

  • At least six (6) years of experience working in GIS development and operations.
  • Expertise in Esri ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Server and associated APIs (JavaScript and Flex), and Esri AppStudio.

  • Strong experience leading design and development of full stack web applications, such as React, Node.js, ASP, .NET, and Python.
  • Strong experience leading front-end development including JavaScript, React, and HTML/CSS.
  • Experience of applying human-centered design principles to develop responsive and intuitive UI/UX.
  • Strong experience with database design, schemas, and RDBMS including PostgreSQL, SQL-Server, MySQL, SQLite, and ORACLE.
  • Experience managing and deploying software utilizing CI/CD and SDLC tools and techniques
  • Knowledge of OpenAPI and experience designing and developing robust scalable APIs
