• Solid familiarity with GIS concepts and analysis, including:

• • Coordinate systems and projections

• • Vector and raster spatial analysis

• • Image processing techniques and workflows relevant to geospatial data

• • GIS data formats (vector, raster, geodatabases)

• Proficient in Python 3.x and familiar with libraries used for:

• • Geospatial processing and image analysis, including GDAL and related tools

• • PDF manipulation (using PyPDF2, for instance)

• Experience working with enterprise geodatabases (Oracle, PostgreSQL/PostGIS) and writing SQL queries.

• Technical writing skills for creating clear, maintainable documentation.

• Experience using DevOps tools and practices, including Git or Azure DevOps and CI/CD pipelines, is considered an asset

• Experience with FME for ETL processes and spatial data transformations is considered an asset.

• Experience developing ArcGIS Server SOEs (Server Object Extensions) is considered an asset.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, capable of designing robust and maintainable GIS solutions.

• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality code.
