We're seeking a detail-oriented, customer-focused GIS Specialist to help configure and maintain the map services that power the Kor Terra platform. This role includes both customer-facing GIS configuration and hands-on administration of our backend map infrastructure. You will play a critical role in ensuring our customers can visualize their facility maps accurately, whether by integrating with their existing map servers or hosting their map data on our internal map infrastructure.

You'll work closely with customers to process map files, configure map layers, troubleshoot GIS issues, and ensure high-quality spatial data experiences across our applications. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with hands-on GIS experience who enjoys solving problems, working with customers, and supporting enterprise SaaS products.

• Administer and maintain Kor Terra's internal GIS/map hosting infrastructure, including managing services, monitoring performance, and supporting system reliability.
• Support GIS system administration tasks such as troubleshooting server issues, managing environments, coordinating upgrades, and maintaining backend documentation.
• Configure and maintain customer map layers in the Kor Terra platform, including connecting to customer-hosted map services (e.g., ArcGIS Server, WMS/WMTS endpoints).
• Process, validate, and import customer map files (e.g., shape files, geodatabases, feature classes) into Kor Terra's internal map hosting environment.
• Ensure map layers load efficiently, perform reliably, and meet customer expectations.
• Troubleshoot mapping issues related to coordinate systems, file formats, map service configuration, and data quality.
• Collaborate with Implementation, Customer Experience, and Product teams to ensure successful map deployment.
• Maintain internal documentation related to GIS configurations, standards, and best practices.
• Assist in developing and refining processes to scale GIS support across our growing customer base.
• Partner with Product to help shape future GIS capabilities within the Kor Terra platform.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Ability to comply with our two in-office days per week policy
• Bachelor's degree in GIS, Geography, Geospatial Science, or related field or equivalent work experience
• 1-3 years of experience in GIS
• Experience using GIS software management solutions like ESRI and QGIS
• Strong understanding of common GIS data formats (shape files, feature services, WMS, etc.)
• Comfortability with handling backend responsibilities, including troubleshooting map services issues, managing configurations, and supporting reliability of a GIS platform
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-GIS users
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-accuracy work
• Strong verbal, writing, and organizational skills
• Excellent customer service attitude
• Self-motivated with ability to work independently
