[Hiring] Geospatial Developer @NiyamIT

Role Description

Niyam IT is seeking a Geospatial Developer to support a Radar Site and Spectrum Relocation Analysis Support program for a federal client that operates a nationwide network of weather radar (NEXRAD) facilities. This effort supports a broader federal initiative to repurpose spectrum for commercial licensed use, while ensuring the client agency retains its mission-critical weather forecasting capabilities. The Geospatial Developer will design and build the applications, automated pipelines, and dashboards that turn the program's spectrum and site data into scalable, decision-ready geospatial products. This position is fully remote, with minimal, occasional travel as noted below.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop the software components of the database-first geospatial architecture, including data models, automated ingestion pipelines, and geospatial services supporting the full NEXRAD network.
• Build and maintain Esri-based and/or open-source geospatial web applications and dashboards for visualizing incumbents, interference indicators, 300 km analysis extents, obstruction environments, and site viability status.
• Develop automated geospatial export and report-generation workflows that produce standardized, template-driven map and report deliverables at scale.
• Implement automated propagation, line-of-sight, and beam-blockage analysis routines in coordination with the spectrum engineering and GIS teams.
• Integrate diverse geospatial and spectrum data sources (FCC, FAA, USGS 3DEP, imagery, terrain, clutter, and Government-furnished datasets) through repeatable, documented pipelines.
• Support ingestion of field-collected survey data, imagery, and frequency measurement outputs into the master database and dashboard.
• Optimize performance, reliability, and maintainability of geospatial applications and data services, and support deployment in Esri and/or cloud (e.g., AWS) environments.
• Ensure all software, data handling, and hosting practices comply with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requirements throughout the period of performance.

Qualifications

• US Citizenship.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, GIS/Geospatial Science, or a related field (equivalent experience considered in lieu of degree).
• 4+ years of software development experience, including geospatial application development or geospatial data engineering.
• Proficiency in Python and experience with geospatial libraries and APIs (e.g., ArcGIS API for Python, GeoPandas, GDAL/OGR, Shapely).
• Experience developing web mapping applications using Esri (ArcGIS API for JavaScript, Experience Builder) and/or open-source stacks (Leaflet, OpenLayers, MapLibre).
• Experience with spatial databases (e.g., PostGIS) and building automated ETL/data pipelines.
• Familiarity with version control (Git) and modern software development and deployment practices.
• Working knowledge of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling requirements.
• Ability to travel occasionally (minimal) to support program activities as needed.

Preferred Skills

• Experience deploying geospatial applications in cloud environments, particularly AWS.
• Familiarity with radar, RF, spectrum, or telecommunications data and analysis.
• Familiarity with open RF data standards (e.g., SigMF) or scientific data formats.
• Prior experience supporting a federal agency with mission-critical infrastructure or geospatial programs.
• Experience automating report and map production from a centralized geospatial database.
• Experience with ArcGIS Enterprise administration or geospatial server/service configuration.

Benefits

• Flexible Work Hours: Empowering you to balance professional responsibilities with personal time.
• Remote Work Opportunities: Work where you perform best, with options that support productivity and work-life integration.
• Professional Growth & Development: Fully funded training, certifications, mentorship opportunities, and clear pathways for advancement.
• Exceptional People: Work alongside talented, supportive, and mission-driven professionals.
• Innovative & Collaborative Culture: An environment where creativity is encouraged and teamwork drives success.
• Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: Celebrating diverse perspectives and creating a respectful workplace.
• Meaningful Work with Purpose: Supporting critical federal missions and delivering innovative solutions.
