Familiarity with advanced geospatial data science, modeling, and analysis techniques and methods (e.g., supervised and unsupervised machine learning, GeoAI, Geosimulation, patiotemporal graphs) is a plus. Hands-on software development skills are a must. Candidates should have a strong understanding of how to engineer spatial solutions for geospatial systems and architecture in both traditional and cloud computing environments. Lifelong learning and keeping up with the latest research and technologies is an essential part of working in this field. Roles and responsibilities include, + Bachelor's degree in Geospatial Data Science, Geospatial Intelligence, Geographic Information Systems, GeoInformatics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related degree. + Minimum of 5 years of experience with a bachelor's degree or 3 years of experience with a master's degree, or a PhD with relevant hands-on experience using Geospatial data science techniques. + Top Secret clearance + Applied experience with common GIS tools, developing geospatial workflows, and visualizations using Python. + Applied experience in spatial analysis and modeling, and ETL of spatiotemporal datasets and managing spatial databases. + Applied experience in the configuration of web-mapping, dashboard applications, and remotely sensed data. + Familiarity with geostatistics, spatial machine learning, geosimulation, or GeoAI, and multispectral and hyperspectral imagery or synthetic aperture radar. + Familiarity working with spatiotemporal data in graph databases, such as ArcGIS Knowledge, Neo4j, or ArangoDB. + Familiarity developing web applications with common libraries, e.g. OpenLayers, Leaflet, ArcGIS JS API. + Familiarity with geospatial data architectures and spatial database design and management, as well as containerization concepts. + This position requires a minimum of 50% hybrid on-site. + Per the U.S. Government's eligibility requirements, you must be a U.S Citizen to be considered for a security clearance. Preferred Qualifications: + Active TS/SCI with polygraph. + Advanced degree in Geospatial Data Science, Geospatial Intelligence, Geographic Information Systems, GeoInformatics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related technical discipline. + Minimum of 8 years of experience with a bachelor's degree or 5 years of experience with a master's degree, or 3 years of hands-on relevant experience using Geospatial data science techniques with a PhD. + Experience leading technical development tasks across multi-disciplinary teams. + Applied experience with other software development languages, e.g., C++, Java, C#, JavaScript. + Applied experience with spatiotemporal big data technologies, e.g., GeoMesa, GeoTrellis, Data Bricks, or GeoSpark (Apache Sedona). + Applied experience with data architecture containerization concepts, e.g. Docker or Kubernetes. + Applied experience working with remotely sensed data to include aerial and satellite imagery, multi- and hyper-spectral imagery, LiDAR, or synthetic aperture radar. + Applied experience with applying spatial modeling and analysis techniques to the atmospheric, climate, marine, oceanic, hydrologic, geomorphologic, critical infrastructure, transportation, network, telemetry, or terrain domains. + Experience leading or conducting research. + Experience designing geospatial data science tasking and/or leading a team of geospatial data scientists. + Applied experience with developing web applications with common libraries, e.g. OpenLayers, Leaflet, ArcGIS JS API. + Familiarity implementing DevSecOps, DataOps, or MLOps in application development. ## Related Videos - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Cyber Sleuth: Finding Hidden Connections in Cyber Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/893-cyber-sleuth-finding-hidden-connections-in-cyber-data) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers)
