This role is built for a cleared geospatial technologist who can bridge two mission offices: one focused on geospatial data curation, ArcGIS Portal products, and operational visualization; the other focused on data processing, analytics, and Tableau-driven reporting.

Manage, curate, publish, and maintain geospatial datasets, hosted feature layers, web maps, dashboards, and data products in ArcGIS Portal. Ensure mission users have access to accurate, well-organized, current, and usable geospatial information.

Use Python, Tableau, ArcGIS, and related tools to process large datasets, automate workflows, prepare data for analysis, and build visual analytics products that reveal patterns, trends, anomalies, and operationally relevant insights.

• Partner with mission users to understand geospatial data needs, analytic questions, visualization requirements, and operational workflows.
• Identify, acquire, clean, transform, validate, curate, and publish large geospatial and tabular datasets from diverse sources.
• Develop Python scripts and tools to automate geospatial data processing, quality control, enrichment, transformation, and publication workflows.
• Manage and update ArcGIS Portal content, including hosted feature layers, map services, web maps, dashboards, data hubs, and related geospatial products.
• Build and maintain Tableau dashboards, reports, and analytic visualizations used by the data processing office and mission stakeholders.
• Apply sound cartographic design, symbology, labeling, layer management, metadata practices, and performance tuning to improve the usability of geospatial products.
• Integrate structured, unstructured, tabular, and spatial datasets into cohesive analytical and visualization environments.
• Support geospatial data library functions, including dataset organization, metadata creation, version management, quality control, discoverability, and lifecycle maintenance.
• Develop documentation, data dictionaries, standard operating procedures, user guidance, and technical recommendations that support repeatable data management and visualization workflows.
• Work independently across two office environments while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and communicating technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.
• Bachelor’s degree in Geography, GIS, Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 12+ years of professional experience in geospatial technology, software development, data engineering, data analysis, or a related technical field.
• Strong Python experience for geospatial data processing, automation, transformation, analysis, and workflow improvement.
• Demonstrated experience working with large geospatial datasets, including cleaning, formatting, joining, enriching, validating, and preparing data for analysis or publication.
• Hands‑on experience with ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Portal, or ArcGIS Online, including publishing and maintaining hosted feature…
