Responsibilities
In this role, you will support the delivery, sustainment, and enhancement of geospatial visualization services and applications used to access and visualize GEOINT data in mission environments. You will work with OpenStreetMap data, QGIS, ArcGIS, and related GIS tools to build and maintain geospatial capabilities that meet user needs. You will translate GEOINT user stories into concrete GIS features, workflows, acceptance criteria, and test cases, while using Linux command line tools to manage, troubleshoot, and support geospatial processing activities. You will script and automate geoprocessing workflows using Python and GIS libraries, support handling of vector, raster, PBF, XML, and other geospatial data formats, and contribute to AWS-based mission environments. You will collaborate within an Agile or SAFe team to deliver scalable, reliable, and operationally effective geospatial services for end users.
