Ardent is seeking a highly motivated and experienced GIS Application & Database Developer to support the design, development, and maintenance of advanced geospatial tools and databases. This role is ideal for a mid- to senior-level GIS professional with a strong background in GIS development, database architecture, and application design. Candidates should have six to ten years of relevant experience—depending on level—and a deep understanding of GIS principles, computer graphics, and relational databases.
This is currently a remote position. Candidates must be able to work standard business hours in the Eastern Time Zone. It is possible that this could require a hybrid/onsite work requirement in the future.
Position Description:
As a GIS Application & Database Developer, you will work independently to build robust GIS tools and applications, conduct complex geospatial analyses, and create detailed, multi-layered maps. Your responsibilities will include full lifecycle development—from project planning and requirements gathering to implementation, testing, and quality control. Proficiency in GIS programming languages, web technologies, and data conversion methodologies is essential, as is the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
This is a full-time position offering a challenging and rewarding opportunity to shape innovative GIS solutions and support a variety of mission-critical initiatives. You will collaborate closely with end users to identify application needs and transform them into powerful geospatial systems and data products.
Responsibilities and Duties:
• Full-time support.
• Staff in this category work independently to develop GIS tools and applications, perform complex analyses, and develop multi-layered maps accomplished by using an appropriate combination of tools found in the GIS application suite and other programming environments.
• Design and implement data conversion procedures and perform software and database quality control.
• Work closely with the GIS user community to determine specific application requirements and specifications.
• Perform project planning, requirements analysis, database design and development, and quality assurance and quality control.
• All other duties as assigned.
Requirements:
• BS/BA in GIS, Geography, Cartography, Computer Science or other related field.
• Middle level shall have at least 6 years and senior level shall have at least 10 years of experience in GIS and related development.
• Experience in GIS concepts, computer graphics fundamentals, and relational database fundamentals and concepts is essential.
• Must have experience in the development of complex analysis and mapping projects.
• Must be proficient in the coding of software and manipulating digital databases as well as using GIS programming languages, Internet markup languages, and other, pertinent technologies.
• Must have the ability to communicate technical information to non-technical computer users, both orally and in writing.
Due to the nature of the work we support, all candidates in consideration for this role must be U.S. Citizens willing to undergo the government issued background investigation process.
Ardent is an equal opportunity employer. We will not discriminate in employment, recruitment, advertisements for employment, compensation, termination, upgrading, promotions, and other conditions of employment against any employee or job applicant on the bases of race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, creed, disability, veteran's status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or any other basis protected by state, local, or federal law.
