Spatial Dna

We help communities grow and prosper through the delivery of easy-to-use digital services enabled by our integration solutions.  Connecting systems and automating the flow of data transforms the work of our customers.  They are able to connect their systems to simplify their users’ lives, empower teams with data to make better decisions, and transform inefficiency into innovation.  We directly affect the lives of millions of citizens, rate-payers, businesses, and students.

We’re looking for an Integration Specialist or Integration Developer who is fascinated by building or implementing no-code / low-code solutions that are configurable and easily supported.  You might have a qualification in software engineering, geomatics, or computer science, but you definitely have a passion for data and ensuring that customers can access and exchange data through our integration solutions in aviation, cities and towns, and buildings and campuses that power real change.  You’ll also be a friendly, driven self-starter who can work autonomously – we were always a remote-only operation, and the pandemic has only made our work easier to manage and deliver remotely. 

Note that you will not be creating maps, doing geospatial analysis, or doing other traditional GIS work.  You will be transforming, relating, combining, and moving data (and potentially geospatial data) as part of integration of applications.

Responsibilities

• Develop data integrations, ETL workflows and automations using (primarily) FME 
• Take part in business requirements gathering and design activities.  Review client data and systems.
• Develop custom libraries, web services and applications using a variety of programming languages/frameworks and cloud technologies
• Deliver training sessions to clients on the use and administration of implemented data integrations

• Support our managed integration services, troubleshoot and resolve reported issues 
• Highly desirable: Develop custom components in Salesforce using Lightning
