The Role

The Senior GIS Developer is a technical leader responsible for designing and implementing automation pipelines and geospatial development tools that support enterprise-wide data integration and operational efficiency. This role plays a key part in the organization’s digital transformation efforts by consolidating geospatial and non-spatial datasets, streamlining production workflows, and enabling scalable, data-centric processes.

Working at the intersection of data engineering, GIS, and operational planning, the Senior GIS Developer leads the creation of robust FME workbenches and backend geospatial logic while mentoring junior developers, including those focused on Python or scripting. This position is instrumental in shifting the organization from fragmented, manual, file-based processes to a centralized, Azure-hosted PostgreSQL / PostGIS environment that serves as the authoritative data source for both internal operations and client-facing platforms.

Required Education, Experience & Credentials

• Bachelor’s degree in Geography, GIS, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of progressive experience in geospatial development, spatial data management, or related roles. Ideally within energy, infrastructure, or emergency response sectors.
• Experience designing and implementing enterprise automation workflows using FME and Python.
• Strong familiarity with cloud-hosted environments and enterprise databases (e.g., PostgreSQL / PostGIS, ArcSDE / SQl Server); experience with Azure is an asset.
• Demonstrated experience in GIS development, including ESRI technologies such as ArcGIS Pro, Enterprise / Portal, Field Maps, and Survey123.
• Experience collaborating with software development teams using source control (e.g., Git), work tracking systems like DevOps / Jira, and structured QA processes.
• Prior mentorship or leadership experience is an asset.
• Professional certifications (e.g., FME Certified Professional, GISP, Esri technical, Azure) are considered assets.
