Product Engineer II - Search and Geocoding
Esri
Overview
Esri’s geocoding solutions deliver global search and geocoding capabilities to organizations across the world. Search and geocoding are used in a wide range of applications across the ArcGIS platform such as where to open your retail store, how to best allocate resources for delivering packages, or where is, and how do I get to, my favorite coffee shop?
As a Product Engineer on the geocoding team you will build cutting edge search and geocoding software for the ArcGIS platform. You’ll analyze search patterns for addresses and places all over the world, research and analyze customer requests, define requirements for new software features, and ensure geocoding quality and performance by building and maintaining tests based on real-world scenarios.
If you are an experienced GIS professional or if we have piqued your interest with search, geocoding, and geospatial technology, join the geocoding team because you can’t have “The Science of Where” if you don’t know where to start!
