What this job asks for AI summary
A geospatial software engineering role focused on building, maintaining, and scaling ETL pipelines, geospatial services, and visualization tools built on ArcGIS Enterprise. The position involves technical leadership — including code reviews and mentoring — and close collaboration with product and mission stakeholders. It suits an experienced developer with a cleared background and hands-on GIS or spatial data experience.

How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762). This posting is about at that midpoint.
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 1, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (8)
Location is not specified in the posting; no CBSA or state could be determined. The TS/SCI with Polygraph requirement strongly implies a work site near a cleared facility, but no city or region is named.
The degree requirement is effectively waived: the posting explicitly accepts 4 years of relevant experience in lieu of a bachelor's degree, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The required programming languages (.NET, C++, C, SQL, Java, Python, C#) are listed as interchangeable options ('such as'); SQL is separated out as its own skill given its distinct role in database design, which is separately called out as required. The remaining languages are captured as alternatives on the .NET entry.
Cloud-based development and deployment experience is required but no specific platform is named in the required section; AWS appears only under Desired Qualifications and is marked preferred accordingly.
The 'Key Technologies Used' section lists the team's active stack (Node.js, JavaScript, Python, Java, .NET, Kong, Linux, Tomcat, Nginx, ArcGIS Enterprise, GeoEvent Server, MapProxy) without gating language, so all are marked preferred. Node.js and JavaScript also appear under Desired Qualifications, reinforcing their preferred status.
ArcGIS Enterprise and Esri products appear under Desired Qualifications ('Knowledge of Esri products or similar GIS or spatial software') and in the stack narrative; they are marked preferred despite being central to the role's description.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): TS/SCI with Polygraph.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
