Job Details
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client in Greenwood Village, CO that is immediately seeking a highly skilled Platform Engineer with deep expertise in Esri ArcGIS to lead the deployment, scaling, and operational support of our on-prem geospatial platform. The Platform Engineer will act as the subject matter expert (SME) for ArcGIS, and serve as the point of contact for all ArcGIS-related integration, performance, and support needs. Ideal candidates will have experience working in complex Linux environments and bring exposure to complementary technologies like Apache NiFi and OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, though heavy ArcGIS expertise is the top priority.
Responsibilities:
* Act as the primary SME and support lead for the ArcGIS platform
* Deploy, scale, and manage ArcGIS clusters in a Linux-based on-premise environment
* Own and improve disaster recovery planning and implementation for ArcGIS
* Troubleshoot and debug ArcGIS performance and integration issues, including operating system and file system interactions
* Support and help design integrations between ArcGIS and other enterprise systems
* Guide the adoption of NiFi as a service, treating it as an enterprise-grade offering (preferred, not required)
* Facilitate and support OpenSearch/Elasticsearch usage in conjunction with GIS services
* Implement automation for platform deployment and scaling, reducing manual overhead
* Collaborate with development and operations teams to ensure platform reliability, scalability, and efficiency
* Provide guidance on platform architecture, security, and resilience best practices
REQUIREMENTS:
* 5+ years of experience in a Platform Engineering, DevOps, or Systems Engineering role
* Expert-level experience with Esri ArcGIS, including deployment, support, and troubleshooting in production environments
* Strong understanding of Linux systems administration and troubleshooting
* Experience deploying or supporting Apache NiFi at enterprise scale or technologies similar to NiFi
* Familiarity with OpenSearch or Elasticsearch, particularly in support of geospatial integrations
* Experience designing and supporting high-availability platforms and scaling clustered environments
* Demonstrated ability to act as the POC and SME for a critical platform
* Solid scripting or automation skills (e.g., Bash, Python, Ansible)
Preferred Skills:
* Previous work integrating ArcGIS with other enterprise tools or data systems
* Experience with infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
