About The Position
As a senior member of Esri’s software development team, you will build and release software technologies at the intersection of GIS, photogrammetry, and remote sensing for the defense and intelligence communities. You will collaborate with software developers and product engineers to create, build, test, and release advanced technologies for imagery users. The role focuses on designing and building tools for analytical workflows and imagery sources such as multispectral and hyperspectral imagery, thermal infrared, radar, LiDAR, motion imagery, and other remotely sensed data. You will develop image-processing and analysis capabilities, components, algorithms, and APIs, and contribute to analytical capabilities that advance the use of remote sensing in GIS. More seasoned candidates will lead development projects and mentor junior developers.
