About this role

Esri's Field Apps team is building Android applications that help frontline workers and operations teams make real-time decisions in the field. As a Software Developer II, you'd own projects across the full development lifecycle—from architecture through design—working with Kotlin to create high-performance apps for mapping, data collection, GPS integration, and sensor networks. The role demands strong fundamentals in object-oriented design, data structures, and mobile optimization, along with the ability to navigate complex real-world requirements where your code directly impacts how people work.

You'll collaborate with designers and other developers through design reviews and code feedback while also serving as an Android advocate within the company. The position requires at least two years of commercial software development experience and a computer science or related degree. Experience shipping apps to Google Play, building mapping applications, or working with native hardware components would strengthen your candidacy, though the team prioritizes learning ability and genuine enthusiasm for Android development.

The role is based in Portland, Maine and requires in-office work. Esri offers relocation assistance, competitive health and wellness benefits, 401(k) and profit-sharing programs, and a minimum of 80 vacation hours annually, with a base salary range of $101,192 to $167,336.
