Shape the Future of National Mapping!

Join a critical national mission by supporting the U.S. Geological Survey’s ongoing enhancement of The National Map, a foundational resource for emergency response, public safety, environmental planning, and more.

As a GIS Software Specialist, you’ll play a hands-on role in developing and maintaining cutting-edge geospatial applications and systems. Your work will directly influence the way topographic data is created, processed, and delivered to government agencies, first responders, and the general public.  In this role, you’ll leverage Python tools like ArcPy and GDAL in a modern DevOps environment that emphasizes automation, scalability, and reliability. You’ll contribute to both front-end and back-end development—working with technologies like JavaScript and Python—while supporting robust CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to ensure secure, consistent, and scalable deployments.

If you're looking to apply your geospatial and software skills to a purpose-driven project with real-world impact, XTS offers the opportunity to contribute to a national asset—where your work will help improve how geographic data is built, accessed, and used across the country.

Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Geography, GIS, or a related discipline with at least 5 years of relevant experience.
  • Hands-on experience with ArcGIS Pro for conducting spatial analysis, creating detailed maps, and processing geospatial data for visualization and decision support.
  • Strong understanding of spatial databases for storing and querying geospatial information.
  • Proficiency in JavaScript for developing interactive front-end applications that visualize and consume GIS data.
  • Proficiency in Python geospatial libraries, such as ArcPy and GDAL, to automate GIS workflows, streamline data processing, and enhance the efficiency and accuracy of geospatial data management.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions) to support automated testing, integration, and deployment of geospatial applications
Desired:
  • Experience with IaC to provision, manage, and maintain GIS environments efficiently, ensuring consistency and scalability across development and production systems.
  • Familiarity with the AWS platform, leveraging cloud-based tools and services to support the deployment, hosting, and performance of geospatial applications and data pipelines.
  • Working knowledge of ArcGIS Server for publishing, managing, and securing GIS services, supporting the delivery of spatial data and applications to internal and external users.

At XTS, we’re not just looking for employees – we’re looking for individuals who are passionate about mission success and personal growth. As a veteran-owned company, we understand the value of service and the importance of fostering a supportive, collaborative community. We are committed to investing in our people, providing the tools and support necessary to grow, which creates a culture where every individual can succeed and thrive!

Benefits Include:
  • Customizable healthcare, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Paid time off (PTO), 11 federal holidays, and a matching 401(k) plan.
  • Short- and long-term disability, life insurance, cancer insurance, and even pet insurance.
  • Continuous training and career advancement opportunities

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
