Position title: ESRI developer
Location: plano, Texas
Onsite: 3 days a week
Interview process: 2 video interviews to hire
Contract: 6-18 months to perm

Must have: ArcGIS Enterprise, front end experience, Geoevent, and good communication

The hiring manager is effectively looking for someone who canstep in immediately and fill a knowledge gap—not someone who needs training.
1) Strong, hands-on Esri / ArcGIS expertise (NON‐negotiable)

Deep experience specifically withArcGIS Enterprise (not just general GIS tools)
Comfortable workingin the current environment (10.9.1, moving to 11.3)
Ability to:
Understand existing implementations quickly
Modify and extend them without ramp time
Explicitly stated: theycannot hire someone who needs training or courses1

This is the#1 priority skill
2) Balanced Front-end + Back-end (≈50/50 split)
The role is not purely technical or purely UI—they want a blend.
Front-end (VERY important)
Candidates must be comfortable with:

ArcGISExperience Builder
Dashboards
Web apps (user-facing tools)
Survey123
Mapping tools (Map Builder, ArcGIS Pro for modeling/publishing)

Reason:

Business users rely heavily on dashboards and visual tools
Candidate must quicklymodify UI elements, filters, widgets, etc.1

Back-end (important, but supported)

Understanding of:
Data flows / ETL
GeoEvent services
Integrations (internal + external data sources)
Python + .NET:
Working knowledge required, not deep mastery
Internal dev team already supports this area1

Key insight:
They want someone who cantalk to developers effectively, even if not a hardcore engineer.
3) Ability to jump into existing architecture
This is not a greenfield role.
The candidate must:

Review what exists (apps, surveys, geo-events, dashboards)
Understand it quickly
Extend it immediately
Diagnose issues and know where to look inside the system

Example responsibilities mentioned:

Modify geofencing rules
Update dashboard filters/logic
Adjust data flows
Understand multi-server architecture

"Hit the ground running” was explicitly emphasized1
4) Experience with GeoEvent + data-heavy environments
This is akey differentiator skill:

Handling multipledata inputs (internal + external)
Working with:
GeoEvent server
Real-time data streams
Understanding how data feeds into dashboards

This is not just GIS—it'soperational, data-driven GIS
5) Ability to bridge business + technical teams
Candidate must:

Work with non-technical business users
Translate requirements into system changes
Explain what's happening without deep technical jargon

Reason:

Business users only interact with dashboards
They don't understand backend systems1

6) Seniority level

Enough experience to:
Work independently
Lead pieces of work

7) Bonus / "Unicorn” traits (nice-to-have)
They joked about wanting a "unicorn,” which translates to:

Strong in BOTH:
ArcGIS platform (core)
Development (Python/.NET)
Able to act as a"tip of the spear” technically with the team1

What will NOT work
Candidates will likely be rejected if they are:

Tooback-end focused (heavy API / infrastructure, no UI work)
Experienced innon-Esri GIS tools only
Missingdashboard / Experience Builder exposure

Strong pitch angle:
"Hands-on ArcGIS Enterprise consultant who has built and customized dashboards, Experience Builder apps, and GeoEvent integrations, with enough Python/.NET knowledge to collaborate with dev teams and extend functionality.”
Bottom line
The right candidate is:

ArcGIS-first (Enterprise-focused)
50/50 front-end + back-end
Able to step in immediately
Comfortable with GeoEvent + real-time data
Strong communicator with business teams
