  • Apply working knowledge of technologies that complement ArcGIS Enterprise, including relational databases (RDBMS), NoSQL stores, object storage systems, SAN, NAS, and related enterprise data tier components.
  • Apply understanding of server-side servicing stack models, enterprise authentication methods (native credentials, domain-based authentication, SAML/OIDC, and related protocols), and foundational networking concepts such as TCP/IP, DNS, routing, and TLS.
  • Lead customers and colleagues using well-defined, repeatable system engineering methods that create shared understanding and successful outcomes at the intersection of ArcGIS Enterprise and enterprise IT systems.
  • Collaborate closely with Professional Services staff to resolve complex technical challenges and support the technical growth and skill development of less-experienced colleagues.

Requirements
  • 5+ years of professional experience implementing and supporting enterprise GIS systems
  • Experience administering ArcGIS Enterprise
  • Familiarity with troubleshooting technical issues in server-based systems
  • Demonstrated ability to consistently apply a systematic, best-practice-driven approach to system engineering
  • Ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to customers, executives, and technical and non-technical audiences
  • Ability to travel up to 25%
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), or a related STEM field
