How this role works

You join the bench. You apply with your weekly hours and start time. We set your hourly rate from your résumé, and we may name you on proposals that match this role. If we don't win, you owe nothing.
A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
You work remote, paid from the contract. ~120–600 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

Plan, deploy and tune ArcGIS Enterprise on AWS, including Portal, ArcGIS Server, Data Store and Web Adaptor, sized for real municipal workloads
Administer SQL Server enterprise geodatabases, including versioning, replication, compression, security and performance
Build and test backup, recovery and continuity plans for the GIS stack so a bad day does not take the map down
