Responsibilities:

  • GIS Integration & Architecture
  • Lead the technical design and implementation of integrations between Small World GIS, ESRI (ArcGIS), and ADMS platforms.
  • Define and enforce integration standards, data contracts, and API design patterns across GIS and ADMS systems.
  • Architect event-driven data flows using Apache Kafka to enable real-time synchronization of network model and spatial data.
  • Evaluate and resolve data model conflicts, schema mismatches, and coordinate business rule reconciliation between source and target systems.
  • Data Migration
  • Lead end-to-end GIS data migration efforts using FME (Feature Manipulation Engine), including workspace development, automation, and validation.
  • Design and execute migration runbooks, data quality checks, and rollback procedures for production cutovers.
  • Establish data lineage tracking, transformation audit logs, and migration metrics dashboards.
  • Collaborate with GIS analysts and data stewards to validate migrated spatial datasets against business requirements.
  • Cloud & DevOps
  • Design and maintain AWS infrastructure for GIS workloads (EC2, S3, RDS/Aurora, Lambda, ECS/EKS, API Gateway).
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines and branching strategies using Git (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket) for GIS integration codebases.
  • Champion infrastructure-as-code practices and automated testing for integration pipelines.
