Job Title: GIS Architect
Location: Remote role (Try for the local candidates from Raleigh, NC)
Duration: 12+ Months Contract
****While sharing resume mention consultant location and visa status***
Job Description:
**This is a remote position, but the candidate may be required to come onsite occasionally. The manager estimates the onsite requirement will be no more than once a quarter or less. It will likely only be during NC emergency situations or team building events.
Supports NCDIT-T GISU Architecture Team. Duties include design, development, maintenance & implementation of application system architecture for enterprise GIS systems & participating in projects & efforts to improve/modernize GISU systems.
This position supports the NCDIT-Transportation GIS Unit (GISU) Architecture Team and is responsible for the design, development, implementation, and maintenance of enterprise GIS system architectures across both on-premise and cloud environments. The role plays a critical part in ongoing modernization efforts, enterprise-level GIS initiatives, and work focused on sustaining the health and continuous availability of mission-critical GIS systems supporting NCDOT.
We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced GIS architecture professional with strong proficiency in Esri technologies, foundational knowledge of enterprise architecture, and hands-on experience deploying GIS solutions in both on-premise and cloud-based infrastructures. The ideal candidate will possess excellent analytical and communication skills and will collaborate closely with cross-functional technical teams to ensure scalable, secure, and high-performing GIS systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and implement robust GIS architectures for enterprise solutions deployed across on-premise infrastructure and Microsoft Azure cloud environments.
- Evaluate, maintain, and evolve architecture models to support hybrid GIS deployments, ensuring consistency, performance, and reliability.
- Contribute to the development of modernization strategies that transition legacy systems to cloud or hybrid configurations.
- Support the planning and execution of GIS enterprise application deployments, integrations, and upgrades.
- Collaborate with system engineers to provision, configure, and monitor GIS applications in both data center and cloud-based environments.
- Assist with architecture planning and implementation for hybrid connectivity, such as VPNs, private endpoints, and federated identity systems.
- Participate in the automation of infrastructure provisioning, application deployment, and system maintenance using tools like PowerShell, Azure DevOps Pipelines, or ARM/BICEP templates.
- Ensure alignment between GIS applications and underlying infrastructure in multi-environment (on-prem/cloud) deployments.
- Work with developers, analysts, and system engineers to align application design with infrastructure architecture and performance requirements.
- Support enterprise GIS initiatives including Roads and Highways, Spot Online, NC CRIS, and ATLAS, with deployment strategies tailored to the environment (on-prem/cloud).
- Provide architectural input during the planning, design, and execution phases of GISU projects, ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, and maintainable.
- Develop and maintain technical documentation for both on-premise and cloud-based GIS system architectures, integrations, and configurations.
- Participate in reviews of existing architecture, recommending changes to meet future scalability, security, and compliance needs.
- Contribute to GISU architecture governance processes by helping define and enforce standards, best practices, and technical guidelines.
- Perform audits of deployed systems to ensure adherence to architecture standards and operational readiness.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
- 5 7+ years of experience implementing and supporting Esri technologies in enterprise environments.
- Proven experience designing and implementing GIS application and system architectures using Esri platforms, including ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Pro.
- Experience with Esri's Linear Referencing System (Roads and Highways) and other transportation-focused GIS solutions.
- Strong understanding of GIS architecture patterns, system integration approaches, and enterprise-level data and service flows.
- Hands-on experience in administration, configuration, and monitoring of ArcGIS Enterprise components (Portal, ArcGIS Server, Data Store, etc.).
- Ability to support system engineering tasks related to infrastructure deployment, platform upgrades, patch management, and environment troubleshooting.
- Familiarity with Windows Server environments, IIS, and integration with enterprise authentication systems (Active Directory, LDAP, Azure AD).
- Demonstrated experience designing and supporting hybrid GIS architectures that span both on-premise data centers and cloud platforms (preferably Microsoft Azure).
- Working knowledge of Azure services including Virtual Machines, App Services, Azure SQL, Storage, Azure Monitor, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
- Familiarity with hybrid integration techniques such as VPNs, ExpressRoute, secure networking, and identity federation.
- Skilled in applying automation and infrastructure-as-code practices using tools such as PowerShell, Azure CLI, ARM/BICEP templates, or Terraform.
- Strong understanding of enterprise and cloud security best practices, including authentication protocols (LDAP, SAML, Azure AD), certificate management, and segmented network design (e.g., firewalls, NSGs).
- Proficient in creating UML models, system architecture diagrams, data flow diagrams, and technical documentation to support GIS architecture planning and communication.
- Experience contributing to architecture review documents, standards, and reference models.
- Ability to work collaboratively across architecture, development, and system engineering teams, supporting both infrastructure and application delivery needs.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.
- Exceptional organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
- Demonstrated ability to manage and prioritize complex technical work across hybrid cloud/on-prem environments.
- Self-motivated and capable of working independently in a remote work setting, while also contributing to team-based projects and goals.
