Job description

Senior GIS Applications Engineer - King County

The King County Information Technology (KCIT) GIS Center is looking for an experienced Senior GIS Applications Engineer to join the Geo Engineering team. You'll build and modernize the GIS applications and automated workflows that King County departments depend on, across application development, spatial analysis, and data development and maintenance. The systems this team builds get used across nearly every part of county government. Your first major project will involve a full redesign of legacy GIS workflows for one of our King County agencies, partnering with another senior engineer to understand current processes, interfaces, and database structures, then rebuilding them into clear, automated workflows a junior analyst can operate day-to-day while you own and evolve these systems over time. You'll then work on migrating our ArcGIS Enterprise environment from on-premises to Azure which includes applications, services, and databases. It isn't a lift-and-shift, but a thoughtful re-imagining of how our GIS infrastructure should work.
