What You'll Do
As a Software Engineer, you'll contribute to applications and services that process, analyze, and visualize geospatial data. You'll also have opportunities to explore how AI and machine learning can be incorporated into applications, development workflows, data analysis, and automation.
You'll have the opportunity to:
Develop, test, and maintain software applications, APIs, and geospatial services.
Write clean, maintainable code using languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, C++, or .NET.
Work with experienced engineers to design and implement new capabilities.
Explore the use of AI and generative AI to enhance applications, automate workflows, analyze data, and improve software development processes.
Gain experience integrating AI models and services through APIs into software applications and workflows.
Learn how applications integrate with ArcGIS Enterprise, databases, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and AI-enabled services.
Work with AWS and cloud-based development and deployment environments.
Use Git and modern software development workflows to manage and collaborate on code.
Participate in code reviews and learn software engineering best practices from experienced team members.
Troubleshoot software issues and help improve application performance and reliability.
Gain exposure to CI/CD, DevOps, containers, APIs, AI-assisted development, and enterprise software deployment.
Work with geospatial data and near-real-time data feeds supporting mission applications.
Required Qualifications
Active TS/SCI with Polygraph
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field. Four (4) years of additional relevant experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.

Basic understanding of software development concepts and object-oriented programming.
Familiarity with source control tools such as Git.
Interest in learning cloud technologies, AI/ML, enterprise software development, and geospatial systems.
Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn.
