Software Developer II - Conflation, ArcGIS Pro

Overview

The geoprocessing development team works to support a framework and comprehensive suite of 2,000+ geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS Pro. Here you can make a difference to the GIS community, building software functionality in ArcGIS Pro for feature matching, change detection, attributes transfer, spatial adjustments, and more. 

As a software developer, you will help develop tools and workflows that solve complex geospatial problems. This is a great opportunity to work with a dedicated team as we support worldwide customers who are maintaining and updating their geographic databases from multiple sources for accurate spatial analysis and multi-scale mapping.

Come join the Conflation development team if you want to help build software used by thousands of organizations around the world!
