  • geometry and trigonometry 
  • statistics and probability 
  • linear algebra 
  • calculus and differential equations 
  • topology and graph theory 
  • GeoAI
• Experience working with ArcGIS server (ESRI specifically)
• Have the ability to productize the service in a platform
• Hexagon Geospatial experience- digital solutions tool 
• Understanding of ERDAS IMAGINE tool (provides tools for remote sensing, photogrammetry, LiDar analysis, basic vector analysis, and radar processing in a single product
• Knowledge of a Geo-Processes model 
• Strong understanding of analytics and data science (this can be from college experience) 
• Python scripting background 
• Front - end / UI experience (able to create user interface in ArcGIS)
• Documentation/process skillset - someone who can track revisions, documentation, etc. 

Bonus Experience:

• Design, develop, and implement geospatial models and analytical solutions to evaluate environmental factors and their potential impact on business operations (e.g., hurricane damage modeling).
• Apply advanced mathematical and statistical concepts, including geometry, trigonometry, probability, linear algebra, calculus, differential equations, and graph theory, to develop complex geospatial models.
• Develop and maintain enterprise GIS environments using ESRI ArcGIS Server, supporting imagery, raster analytics, and GeoAnalytics.
• Leverage GeoAI, data science, and advanced analytics techniques to transform geospatial data into actionable business insights.
• Develop, automate, and maintain geospatial data processing workflows and ETL pipelines using Python, integrating data across enterprise systems and SQL geodatabases.
• Productize geospatial models and analytical services by developing scalable solutions within enterprise platforms.
• Design and develop user-facing interfaces within ArcGIS to support accessibility and usability of geospatial tools and services.
• Utilize geospatial technologies such as Hexagon Geospatial and ERDAS IMAGINE for remote sensing, photogrammetry, LiDAR analysis, and raster processing.
• Automate GIS environment administration and deployments using Python APIs, configuration management tools, and manual deployment processes.
• Perform large-scale data transformation, manipulation, and analysis to support evolving business requirements.
• Maintain technical documentation, version control, and process workflows to ensure consistency, traceability, and ongoing platform improvements.
