Software Engineer - Geographic Information System (GIS)
Versaterm
is a global public safety solutions company helping agencies transform how they serve their communities. Since 1977, we have built an ecosystem of intuitive tools designed for public safety agencies, forensic labs, court systems, schools and other institutions. Through purposeful integrations and a selective growth strategy, we focus on improving workflows to help our customers achieve more efficient operations, better service and more just outcomes.
Role Overview The Software Engineer II – GIS is an intermediate-level developer responsible for building and enhancing GIS applications that improve situational awareness and operational support for public safety agencies. This role emphasizes hands‑on development with Esri toolsets (ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Runtime, etc.) and open‑source technologies such as PostGIS. The position requires software engineering skills to deliver scalable GIS solutions, contribute to enterprise GIS posture, and collaborate with cross‑functional teams to ensure reliable, secure, and high‑quality GIS services.
Responsibilities
Develop and maintain GIS applications using Esri toolsets such as ArcGIS Runtime SDKs, ArcGIS Enterprise, and ArcGIS Online.
Build desktop, web, and mobile GIS solutions with C#, JavaScript, and modern frameworks.
Create robust server‑side GIS processing solutions, including spatial algorithms and custom geoprocessing tools.
Develop RESTful services and APIs for spatial data access, automation, and system integration.
Implement scalable solutions for handling large spatial datasets and real‑time public safety data.
Design and optimize spatial databases using PostgreSQL/PostGIS to support analytical and operational queries.
Develop and optimize complex spatial SQL queries, functions, and stored procedures.
Implement routing solutions with PGRouting for network analysis and pathfinding in public safety contexts.
Perform database performance tuning, schema design, indexing, and optimization of spatial operations.
Configure, customize, and maintain Esri server environments, map services, and feature services.
Manage map publishing workflows, service optimization, and deployment pipelines.
Implement security protocols, data governance, and access controls for sensitive public safety data.
Write clean, efficient, and well‑documented code with unit testing, integration testing, and code reviews.
Collaborate with analysts, product owners, and public safety stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions.
Work within agile or iterative development processes, ensuring code quality and scalability.
Use version control systems (e.g., Git) and collaborative development workflows.
Qualifications
2–5 years of GIS software development experience.
Strong working knowledge of Esri ArcGIS tools (ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Runtime SDKs).
Proficiency with PostGIS, PostgreSQL, and advanced spatial SQL.
Experience developing with C# and/or JavaScript APIs for GIS applications.
Understanding of spatial data structures, geoprocessing workflows, and coordinate systems.
Ability to integrate GIS with external systems via APIs and web services.
Familiarity with public safety operational workflows and data requirements.
Security Clearance Due to the nature of our work with public safety agencies, this position requires compliance with the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy. Candidates must successfully pass a comprehensive, fingerprint‑based background check. Obtaining and maintaining all required security clearances is a condition of employment.
Equal Opportunity Versaterm is committed to building and supporting inclusion, diversity, and equity, and sustaining a barrier‑free environment. Accommodations are available, on request, throughout all aspects of the selection process. These principles apply to the terms and conditions of employment at Versaterm.
