Software Development Engineer II - Android SDK

Overview

As an enthusiastic and talented mobile/Kotlin software developer, you will join a team that pushes the boundaries of technology to achieve a shared mission: bringing the power of GIS indoors.

We deliver world-class indoor GIS experiences helping users navigate, visualize, and interact with complex indoor environments, while also supporting the full spectrum of location-based capabilities that ArcGIS enables, from indoor positioning to traditional outdoor mapping and navigation. In this role, you will leverage your expertise to not only enhance our positioning engine but also drive new initiatives and explore emerging technologies that advance the functionality of ArcGIS Maps SDK. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to create solutions that work seamlessly across indoor and outdoor contexts, empowering users in various industries.

The Esri R&D Center in Vienna, Austria, leads the research and development of cutting-edge indoor positioning systems technologies used in ArcGIS IPS. By combining radio signal data from Bluetooth Low Energy beacons and Wi-Fi with trajectory information derived from motion sensors on everyday mobile devices, we aim to deliver the world’s best indoor blue dot experience for our users.
