What We Can Achieve Together:

The Geospatial Web Developer provides web application development expertise to support TNC's diverse and geographically distributed conservation science and marketing communities.

The Geospatial Web Developer will support and develop web GIS applications and solutions according to system requirements following TNC methodologies and best practices. In supporting existing applications and advising professionals across our global organization, they will also play a key role in shaping web application guidelines as we strive for a more consistent approach to web map and application delivery across teams and platforms. While we extensively use Esri tools and technologies, we also use and support other platforms and technologies, including open-source geospatial software.

The Geospatial Web Developer is a member of the Conservation Application Development team but will work with other functional teams in the Conservation & Geospatial Systems group within Information Technology (IT), and with other TNC business units in a variety of development and design roles. The Web Developer will help in creating and maintaining web mapping applications and visualization tools focused on supporting our goal to conserve 4 billion hectares of Earth's oceans, 650 million hectares of land, 30 million hectares of lakes and wetlands, and 1 million kilometers of river systems. The Geospatial Web Developer will spend approximately 75% of their time designing, developing and maintaining applications and infrastructure, including working with product owners to refine requirements and related tasks, and approximately 25% of their time providing guidance and support to others developing web mapping applications.

This is a fully remote position where the chosen candidate can work anywhere TNC is registered to work with preference to candidates who can serve Eastern and Pacific time zones.

This position is not eligible for relocation, or visa.
