GIS Developer

We help communities grow and prosper by delivering easy-to-use digital services enabled by our integration solutions. Connecting systems and automating the flow of data transforms the work of our customers. They can connect their systems to simplify users’ lives, empower teams with data to make better decisions, and transform inefficiency into innovation. We directly affect the lives of millions of citizens, rate-payers, businesses, and students.

We’re looking for a full-stack GIS Developer to help us build our CityConnect iO Platform to integrate complex engineering, finance, and operations systems for manufacturing, infrastructure, cities and towns, and buildings and campuses that power real change.

You might qualify in software engineering, geomatics, data science or computer science. You are passionate about data and coding to build our next iterations of the CityConnect iO Platform. You’ll also be a friendly, driven self-starter who can work autonomously – we were always a remote-only operation, and the pandemic has only made our work easier to manage and deliver remotely.
