About the Role

Bubbleware Technology is seeking a GIS Developer to support a federal enterprise GIS modernization effort. This role will help design, build, and implement GIS capabilities in an AWS-based data environment, including enterprise geodatabase integration, spatial data processing, automated geocoding workflows, GIS dashboards/web mapping applications, and support for graph/link-analysis use cases. The ideal candidate is a hands-on GIS developer who is comfortable working across Esri technologies, web GIS applications, spatial data processing, cloud-hosted environments, and enterprise data systems. This is not just a map-making role. We are looking for someone who can build production-quality GIS tools and applications while working closely with architects, cloud engineers, analysts, and federal stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Develop and support enterprise GIS capabilities in a cloud-hosted environment.
• Build and maintain GIS/web mapping applications, dashboards, spatial visualization tools, and map-based analytical interfaces.
• Develop automated spatial data processing workflows, including address geocoding, spatial enrichment, data conversion, and loading into enterprise geodatabases.
• Support integration of GIS components with relational databases, data warehouses, ETL/data pipelines, and cloud services.
• Work with senior GIS architecture support to implement approved enterprise GIS designs in pre-production and production environments.
• Assist with configuration and testing of Esri and related GIS components.
• Support development of scripts/tools for automated geocoding and spatial data creation.
• Help connect spatial data with graph/link-analysis use cases involving entities, events, relationships, and locations.
• Participate in stakeholder requirements discussions and translate business needs into GIS application features.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including architecture notes, workflow documentation, deployment/configuration notes, and user-facing support materials.
• Support testing, troubleshooting, performance tuning, data validation, and production readiness activities.
• Collaborate with project managers, cloud engineers, data engineers, analysts, and client stakeholders.

This lines up with the RFQ’s work around enterprise GIS implementation, automated geocoding, graph data creation, GIS/web-GIS dashboards, and required GIS developer support throughout the project.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional GIS development experience.
• Hands-on experience with Esri/ArcGIS platform technologies, such as ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Server, Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, Enterprise Geodatabase, ArcPy, or related Esri tooling.
• Experience developing GIS/web mapping applications using technologies such as:
• ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript / ArcGIS API for JavaScript
• JavaScript / TypeScript
• HTML/CSS
• React, Angular, Vue, or similar front-end frameworks
• Experience with spatial databases and geospatial data formats, such as:
• PostgreSQL/PostGIS
• SQL Server spatial
• enterprise geodatabases
• shapefiles, GeoJSON, feature services, REST services
• Strong scripting experience with Python, especially for geoprocessing, automation, data conversion, or ETL-style workflows.
• Experience designing or supporting automated geocoding, address standardization, spatial matching, or spatial enrichment workflows.
• Solid SQL skills and experience working with large datasets.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to work independently in a remote environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting federal government, public sector, healthcare, insurance, fraud/waste/abuse, audit, or investigative data environments.
• Experience with AWS services such as EC2, S3, RDS, Redshift, Lambda, Glue, IAM, CloudFormation, or related cloud infrastructure.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code concepts or tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK.
• Experience with large-scale geocoding or spatial processing involving millions of records or more.
• Experience with ETL/data pipeline tools such as DataStage, AWS Glue, Databricks, Airflow, or similar.
• Familiarity with graph databases or link-analysis tools, such as Amazon Neptune, Neo4j, ArcGIS Knowledge, Linkurious, or similar.
• Experience building analytical dashboards with maps, charts, filters, and drill-down workflows.
• Experience working in environments with security, privacy, CUI, HIPAA, FISMA, NIST, or ATO-related requirements. The RFQ includes security and authorization requirements for IT systems handling government information, so this background would be useful.
• Experience with CI/CD, Git, automated testing, and deployment pipelines.
• ArcGIS, AWS, or security-related certifications.

Nice-to-Have

Technical Stack Candidates do not need every item, but stronger candidates will have exposure to several:

• ArcGIS Enterprise / Portal / Server
• ArcGIS Pro / ArcPy / ModelBuilder
• ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript
• Python
• JavaScript / TypeScript
• React or Angular
• PostgreSQL/PostGIS or SQL Server
• REST APIs / feature services
• AWS
• Redshift or cloud data warehouses
• ETL/data pipelines
• Terraform or CloudFormation
• Graph database or link-analysis tools

Preferred Certifications: Esri technical certifications, such as ArcGIS Developer, ArcGIS Enterprise Administration, or ArcGIS Pro; AWS certifications, such as Cloud Practitioner, Developer Associate, or Solutions Architect Associate; Security+; or GISP. Certifications are helpful but not required; equivalent hands-on experience will be strongly considered. What Success Looks Like A successful GIS Developer in this role will be able to:

• turn architecture and business requirements into working GIS capabilities;
• build reliable spatial data workflows, not just one-off scripts;
• develop usable web GIS dashboards and map-based analysis tools;
• work comfortably with enterprise data, cloud infrastructure, and security constraints;
• communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders;
• document what was built so it can be maintained after delivery.
• Compensation range listed has a wide range as it depending on experience, qualifications, and certifications.
