Software Engineer

The Software Engineer II – GIS is an intermediate -level developer responsible for building and enhancing GIS applications that improve situational awareness and operational support for public safety agencies. This role emphasizes hands -on development with Esri toolsets (ArcGIS Enterpris e,ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Runtime, etc.) and open -source technologies such as PostGIS. The position requires software engineering skills to deliver scalable GIS solutions, contribute to enterprise GIS posture, and collaborate with cross -functional teams to ensure reliable, secure, and high -quality GIS services.

GIS Application Development

• Develop and maintain GIS applications using Esri toolsets such as ArcGIS Runtime SDKs,
ArcGIS Enterprise, and ArcGIS Online.

• Build desktop, web, and mobile GIS solutions with C#, JavaScript, and modern frameworks.

• Create robust server -side GIS processing solutions, including spatial algorithms and custom
geoprocessing tools.

• Develop RESTful services and APIs for spatial data access, automation, and system
integration.

• Implement scalable solutions for handling large spatial datasets and real -time public safety
data.

Database Development & Management

• Design and optimize spatial databases using PostgreSQL/PostGIS to support analytical and
operational queries.

• Develop and optimize complex spatial SQL queries, functions, and stored procedures.

• Implement routing solutions with PGRouting for network analysis and pathfinding in public
safety contexts.

• Perform database performance tuning, schema design, indexing, and optimization of spatial
operations.

GIS Configuration & Deployment

• Configure, customize, and maintain Esri server environments, map services, and feature
services.

• Manage map publishing workflows, service optimization, and deployment pipelines.

• Implement security protocols, data governance, and access controls for sensitive public safety
data.

Software Engineering Practices

• Write clean, efficient, and well -documented code with unit testing, integration testing, and
code reviews.

• Collaborate with analysts, product owners, and public safety stakeholders to translate
requirements into technical solutions.

• Work within agile or iterative development processes, ensuring code quality and scalability.

• Use version control systems (e.g., Git) and collaborative development workflows.

What You Bring

• 2–5 years of GIS software development experience.

• Strong working knowledge of Esri ArcGIS tools (ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro,
ArcGIS Runtime SDKs).

• Proficiency with PostGIS, PostgreSQL, and advanced spatial SQL.

• Experience developing with C# and/or JavaScript APIs for GIS applications.

• Understanding of spatial data structures, geoprocessing workflows, and coordinate systems.

• Ability to integrate GIS with external systems via APIs and web services.

• Familiarity with public safety operational workflows and data requirements.
