If you’re energized by turning geospatial data into insight—and writing Python code that directly supports the security of our Nation—this role puts your skills exactly where they matter most. Our team is seeking a Geospatial Programmer to support an advanced analytics group working on innovative geospatial research and development projects.

You’ll work side-by-side with analysts and engineers, building tools and automation that make complex geospatial data faster to process, easier to analyze, and more impactful at scale. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving real problems, improving workflows, and helping others succeed through better tools and smarter code.

What You’ll Do

Design and develop custom Python-based code, scripts, modules, libraries, and automation to support advanced geospatial analysis

Create dynamic and reusable geospatial analysis functions to augment, process, and analyze complex datasets

Provide ad hoc scripting and automation support to analysts, helping streamline geoprocessing workflows for large-scale data

Mentor and assist analysts in writing custom scripts and code to meet evolving mission needs

Leverage available computing resources to efficiently process very large geospatial datasets

Improve data management through deduplication, reduction, and optimization techniques

Scale geospatial workflows from regional to global applications while maintaining performance and accuracy

Required

Active TS/SCI with required polygraph

5 years of professional experience

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Geography, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)

Strong Python development and automation skills for data analysis and workflow optimization

Experience modeling geospatial data and working with NoSQL and relational databases (Elasticsearch and PostgreSQL preferred)

Solid geospatial and image-processing skills, with strong spatial reasoning ability

Comfortable providing software troubleshooting, system integration, and technical support

Nice to Have

Experience working with big data and scalable analytics, including distributed computing environments

Background in data engineering, scalable pipeline development, and performance optimization

Familiarity with modern software development workflows, including Git, Jira, and technical documentation

A collaborative mindset and interest in improving how teams use data and tools

Why This Role Matters

Your work will directly support mission-critical analysis by enabling faster insights, more reliable data, and scalable geospatial capabilities.
