• Experience producing complex multi-layered maps, web-based GIS applications, and advanced geospatial analysis outputs.
• Solid understanding of GIS concepts, spatial data management, and best practices in geospatial technologies.
• Experience working with relational databases and spatial database systems (e.g., Esri SDE).
• Background in working with aerial and satellite imagery, including image processing and analysis.
• Familiarity with law enforcement, border security, or related federal mission environments is highly desirable.
• Ability to design and develop GIS tools, applications, and workflows.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Bachelor’s degree in GIS, Geography, Cartography, or a related field with substantial GIS coursework.
• Ability to obtain a DHS Background Investigation clearance.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary aligned with experience and federal contract standards
• Opportunity to work on mission-critical federal geospatial programs
