This position will be part of the Cloud Services team, which is dedicated to providing professional level cloud-based software systems and architecture to create digital products for customer and internal use alike. The team works both internally and with customers to identify digital products’ needs, develop software systems to implement those needs, and provide secure and cost-effective hosting options.

This position will report to the Director of Cloud Services and will be a member of a small mixed-discipline team working together to bring modern cloud-based applications to the Hazen digital products portal. This position will involve, but is not limited to, working with ArcGIS experts to integrate maps, AI/ML experts to expose models via web applications, executing software engineering processes to capture software requirements from customers and internal Hazen teams, designing and implementing full-stack solutions giving users an intuitive user interface, a robust server-side logic tier, and cloud-solutions based on accepted Well Architected Framework guidelines.
