Qualifikationen

• 5+ years of web development with modern JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue.js or Angular.
• Hands-on work with a major web mapping SDK - layers, popups, custom widgets and client-side spatial operations.
• Python for geoprocessing and automation (ArcPy, GeoPandas, Shapely, Rasterio, GDAL/OGR).
• Backend services or pipelines that expose geospatial functionality.
• Git, Agile, and a bachelor's degree in computer science, geography, IT or similar.
• Advanced English; some basic French is helpful.

Aufgaben

• Developing and configuring web GIS applications with ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript and other modern frameworks
• Bringing spatial data from classified and unclassified sources into those applications
• Converting and preparing data with Python and spatial ETL tools
• Setting up map services, feature layers and tiled data so they load quickly on the web
• Tuning backend queries and map rendering for performance
• Documenting code, service endpoints and architecture, and passing knowledge on to staff

Why this one is worth a look

It is genuine GIS engineering with a visible end user, on site in Brussels, and it runs under a standing framework with room to continue rather than a one-off project.
