About the Position

Lane County Technology Services is seeking an experienced GIS Developer & Systems Analyst to help shape the future of enterprise GIS for one of Oregon's largest local governments. This is an opportunity to work on complex, enterprise-scale GIS solutions that support critical county services—from public safety and transportation to land management, elections, and public health.

In this role, you'll design, develop, integrate, and support modern GIS applications and infrastructure while helping guide the evolution of Lane County's enterprise GIS environment. You'll build seamless connections between GIS and enterprise business systems, automate complex workflows, modernize existing applications, and develop innovative solutions that improve how County departments serve our community.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, collaborating across disciplines, and continuously improving systems through thoughtful development, design, and automation. Success in this role requires strong software development skills, deep knowledge of ESRI technologies, and the ability to translate business needs into scalable, reliable GIS solutions.

Successful candidates will bring experience with:

• Administering and supporting ArcGIS Enterprise, including services, security, upgrades, and performance monitoring.
• Developing applications using technologies such as JavaScript, React, Arcade, Python, ArcPy, SQL, .NET, or comparable development frameworks.
• Designing integrations between GIS and enterprise business applications.
• Managing enterprise geodatabases using SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SDE, and File Geodatabases.
• Developing automation, ETL processes, backend services, and scripting solutions.
• Creating modern GIS applications, web tools, and process-driven solutions using the ESRI platform.
• Supporting enterprise GIS architectures, versioning strategies, and continuous improvement initiatives.

While this is a non-supervisory position, you'll serve as a technical leader by helping shape best practices, mentoring colleagues through collaboration, and driving innovation across Lane County's growing GIS ecosystem.
