You will provide technical leadership and hands-on administration of ArcGIS Enterprise systems (installation, patching/upgrading, security) and design, automate, and maintain cloud infrastructure using IaC and CI/CD. The role suits a highly motivated engineer comfortable in a ticket-driven, service-oriented environment, collaborating with a distributed team and managing multiple priorities.\nKey Responsibilities\nAdminister, configure, and optimize ESRI ArcGIS Enterprise on Windows, Linux, and Kubernetes in cloud-hosted environments. \nSupport and enhance ArcGIS Enterprise architectures on EC2 and containerized (Kubernetes) deployments. \nWork in a ticket-driven support model (e.g., Jira), handling requests, incidents, and changes for federal geospatial hosting customers. \nServe as technical lead for cloud infrastructure design, deployment, and maintenance (AWS, Azure, or other major clouds) for resilient, scalable GIS workloads. \nImplement and maintain IaC solutions (e.g., Terraform/Terragrunt) for automated provisioning and configuration of GIS and supporting components. \nDesign, implement, and support CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) for ArcGIS Enterprise configurations, custom extensions, and infrastructure. \nSupport and enhance ArcGIS for Kubernetes deployments, including cluster configuration, scaling, monitoring, and troubleshooting. \nCollaborate with cloud and security teams to meet federal security and compliance requirements. \nTroubleshoot complex issues across application, OS, network, and cloud layers; perform root cause analysis and long-term remediation. \nCreate and maintain documentation (architectures, SOPs, runbooks, configuration baselines). \nWork with internal and client stakeholders to gather requirements, propose solutions, and implement changes under formal change management. \nParticipate in on-call or after-hours maintenance windows as required.\n Required Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, GIS, Engineering, or related field; or 4 additional years of related experience in lieu of degree. \n5+ years administering ESRI ArcGIS Enterprise in production,

(AWS, Azure, GCP), including: Provisioning and managing compute, storage, and network resources. \nImplementing monitoring, logging, and backup for cloud-hosted workloads. \nDemonstrated familiarity with IaC (e.g., Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, ARM) and ability to design and maintain production IaC solutions. \nFamiliarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps), including integration of source control, testing, and deployment. \n2+ years with Kubernetes (preferably production), including: Cluster configuration, management, and troubleshooting. \nDeploying and managing containerized applications. \nExperience in ticket-based support environments (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow) managing incidents, service requests, and changes. \nStrong understanding of network fundamentals (DNS, load balancing, firewalls, VPCs, routing) for cloud-hosted applications and ArcGIS Enterprise. \nAbility to work independently, self-directed, managing multiple priorities and deadlines. \nStrong written and verbal communication skills for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. \nHighly Preferred Skills and Experience\nESRI ArcGIS for Kubernetes: \nHands-on deployment, administration, and troubleshooting of ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes. \nKnowledge of ArcGIS for Kubernetes architecture, scaling, and operational best practices. \nTerraform/Terragrunt: Production use for complex, multi-environment cloud infrastructure. \nExperience with module design, state management, and integrating IaC with CI/CD. \nGitHub/GitLab: \nGit workflows (branching, pull requests, code reviews). \nImplementing GitHub Actions or GitLab CI for infrastructure and application deployments.\nCloud networking: Designing/supporting AWS architectures, private/public subnets, security groups/NSGs, peering, and performance optimizations. \nGIS enterprise architecture: Designing scalable, highly available ArcGIS Enterprise for federal
