Job Details
Overview
Esri's Professional Services is seeking a highly skilled Sr. Software Development Engineer to join our team building advanced GIS software solutions. In this role, you will work on a system that leverages computer vision, machine learning, and AI to detect and extract real-world objects from 360-degree imagery, video, LiDAR point clouds, and oriented imagery. Your work will play a key role in creating authoritative system-of-record datasets, supporting critical infrastructure such as roadway networks for departments of transportation and public works, as well as indoor facility asset datasets for asset management and planning.
In this role, you will need a deep understanding of computer vision algorithms, geospatial data processing, and large-scale data management along with expertise in Python. You will collaborate closely with researchers and product engineers, bridging the gap between innovative research and production-ready software. Our team builds tools for geospatial data management, visualization, and analysis, empowering GIS professionals to solve complex real-world problems.
If you are passionate about geospatial technology, AI-driven data extraction, and developing scalable, high-performance solutions, this is an opportunity to work at the forefront of GIS innovation and make a meaningful impact on how organizations manage and understand their physical assets.
