Spatial Data Engineer II (Geocoding)

Overview

Esri’s ArcGIS World Geocoding solutions deliver global search and geocoding capabilities to organizations across the world. Search and geocoding are used in a wide range of applications across the ArcGIS platform such as where to open your retail store, how to best allocate resources for delivering packages, or where is, and how do I get to, my favorite coffee shop?

As a Spatial Data Engineer on the geocoding team, you will work with massive spatial data from both commercial and open sources. You’ll be asked to master data specifications, automate processes for acquiring and loading spatial datasets, transform those datasets into normalized data models, and work with product teams to ensure continuous quality improvements driven by the best available content.

If you are passionate about data and geospatial technology, join the geocoding team because you can’t have "The Science of Where" if you don’t know where to start!
