At ARA, we strive to hire valuable colleagues with not only the right skills, but also demonstrate our core values of passion, freedom, service and growth. As a Developmental Python Developer, you will develop custom code, scripts, modules, macro procedures, libraries and dynamically linked libraries for geospatial analysis. The candidate will provide ad hoc support for writing scripts in Python and other coding languages to help automate geoprocessing of large datasets in response to analysts’ needs, and you will instruct and assist analysts in writing custom code and scripts as needed.
The position requires leveraging available computing resources to handle very large geospatial datasets, creating efficiencies in data management including data deduplication and reduction, streamlining geospatial data processing, and scaling processes.
