• Support the redesign of a national species-opportunity dataset aligned with 50 states' classification systems, including its GIS dimensions
• Carry your work through peak season: January-May is annual rulemaking season, when spatial layer reliability is mission-critical, and you'll be the name behind it
• Work inside our DoneRight Agile practice: two-week sprints, demos to the Government every sprint boundary, Definitions of Done that include accessibility and security
