About the Position

Lane County Technology Services is seeking an experienced GIS Developer & Systems Analyst to help shape the future of enterprise GIS for one of Oregons largest local governments.

Youll build seamless connections between GIS and enterprise business systems, automate complex workflows, modernize existing applications, and develop innovative solutions that improve how County departments serve our community.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, collaborating across disciplines, and continuously improving systems through thoughtful development, design, and automation.

Successful candidates will bring experience with:

• Administering and supporting ArcGIS Enterprise, including services, security, upgrades, and performance monitoring.
• Developing applications using technologies such as JavaScript, React, Arcade, Python, ArcPy, SQL, .NET, or comparable development frameworks.

• Managing enterprise geodatabases using SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SDE, and File Geodatabases.
• Developing automation, ETL processes, backend services, and scripting solutions.
• Creating modern GIS applications, web tools, and process-driven solutions using the ESRI platform.
• Supporting enterprise GIS architectures, versioning strategies, and continuous improvement initiatives.

While this is a non-supervisory position, youll serve as a technical leader by helping shape best practices, mentoring colleagues through collaboration, and driving innovation across Lane Countys growing GIS ecosystem.
