Implement and maintain IaC solutions (e.g., Terraform/Terragrunt) for automated provisioning and configuration of GIS and supporting components.
Design, implement, and support CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) for ArcGIS Enterprise configurations, custom extensions, and infrastructure.
Support and enhance ArcGIS for Kubernetes deployments, including cluster configuration, scaling, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
Collaborate with cloud and security teams to meet federal security and compliance requirements.
Troubleshoot complex issues across application, OS, network, and cloud layers; perform root cause analysis and long-term remediation.
