equivalent desktop tools for managing geodatabases, authoring maps, publishing services, and performing advanced spatial analysis.</li><li>Deep understanding of enterprise geodatabases (for example, ArcGIS with Oracle), including schema design, indexing, spatial types, and performance tuning for spatial queries.</li><li>Knowledge of publishing and managing map services, feature services, geoprocessing services, and network analysis services for high-volume, real-time operational use.</li><li>Experience designing and implementing GIS solutions for routing, nearest resource identification, geocoding, reverse geocoding, and other spatial operations required by operational systems.</li><li>Familiarity with integrating GIS services into web and mobile applications via REST APIs, JavaScript APIs, and other client SDKs.</li><li>Understanding of GIS performance optimization, including service caching, scale settings, layer optimization, and map design for high-density, real-time use.</li><li>Good understanding of security concepts in GIS platforms, including authentication, authorization, SSL/TLS, and integration with enterprise identity providers.</li></ul><div><b>Technical Skills</b></div><ul><li>Experience with real-time or near real-time GIS components (for example, GeoEvent Server or equivalent) for streaming data such as vehicle locations, sensors, or event feeds.</li><li>Familiarity with scripting and automation (for example, Python, ArcPy, or PowerShell) for GIS administration, data processing, and bulk operations.</li><li>Working knowledge of integrating GIS with message buses or event streaming platforms (for example, Kafka, ActiveMQ) to support real-time workflows.</li><li>Understanding of load balancing and clustering for GIS servers, and how they interact with web tiers and application gateways.</li></ul><div></div><div><b><br>Experience</b></div><ul><li>Prior involvement in modernization
