• Design, test, and deploy custom GIS tools, dashboards, and web maps to support internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Support integration of GIS with enterprise systems and APIs, ensuring seamless data exchange and synchronization.
• Conduct advanced spatial analysis, quality control, and geoprocessing tasks to produce high-quality deliverables.
• Provide mentorship, training, and technical guidance to junior GIS staff and cross-functional teams.
• Collaborate with R&D, IT, and project managers to enhance automation, scalability, and performance in GIS processes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Geography, Geomatics, Computer Science, Environmental Science, or a related discipline.
• 7+ years of professional GIS experience using software such as ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, or equivalent platforms.
• Advanced proficiency in Python programming, including automation of geoprocessing workflows and data pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with spatial databases (PostGIS, SQL Server, or similar) and API development/integration.
• Strong understanding of spatial analysis techniques, cartographic design, and data visualization principles.
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and documentation skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience with web GIS platforms (ArcGIS Online, Leaflet, Mapbox, or similar).
• Familiarity with cloud-based GIS environments or automation tools such as FME, AWS, or Azure.
• Experience with version control (Git) and collaborative development workflows.
• Exposure to AI/ML applications in GIS or remote sensing data analysis.
