The Sanborn GIS Development Team is expanding!

At this time, we are looking for two full-time ArcObjects developers to help us build enterprise GIS systems. These are entry to mid-level positions, with plenty of opportunity for growth. You'll be working with a relaxed team of professional developers who strive to build the best damn GIS software solutions out there. These positions will be working on both desktop customizations and back-end ArcGIS Server component development. Current projects include an ecosystem managment toolset for the Marine Corps (ArcGIS 9.1 + .NET 2.0), and a state wide forest managment system for Pennsylvania (ArcGIS 9.2 Desktop & Server + .NET 2.0).


What is the job?
Developing enterprise scale applications with ArcGIS and .NET - these are end-to-end systems, typically involving multiple technologies - ArcMap, ArcGIS Server, ArcSDE, ArcIMS, smart client, winforms, web forms. 

When I look at positions, one thing that I always ask about is the tools, so here's what you'll be working with:
  • Microsoft Team System - Source control  project managment
  • ArcSDE on Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle
  • Visual Studio 2005 - VB.NET or C#
  • MSDN subscription
  • ESRI EDN Subscription
  • Dual flat-screen workstation (3+GB RAM, 3+Ghz CPU)
  • Citrix farm for client test access
  • Good desk and chair - sorry no aerons. (yet!)
Who will fill it?
Are you the go-to person on your team? Are you sick of the general 'hacking' nature of GIS development? Do you know ArcObjects like the back of your hand? Interested in a more 'agile' approach to development? Can you whip out winforms apps? Dig web services and smart client applications?  Are you applying Unit Testing to your GIS applications? We want to hear from you!

Regardless of the laundry lists of skills in the formal postings, we are really looking for quick learning, self directed team players who really give a rip about producing quality software, and staying on the leading edge of software development. And if you blog, all the better!

Where is it?
These positions are located in sunny Fort Collins, Colorado - I've been here 10 years, and love it, but don't just take my word for it -this year Money Magazine rated it the #1 place to live in the US.

When can I start?
We are looking to fill one position by early November, and the second by early January. Check out the detailed position descriptions and then email me (dbouwman AT sanborn DOT com) your resume.
