What We're Looking For
Michael Baker International is seeking a GIS Software Requirements Analyst to join our DATAMARK team in a fully remote capacity. In this role, you will serve as the critical bridge between Product, Engineering, and GIS stakeholders — translating high-level product concepts into clear, implementation-ready requirements that drive the development of mission-critical geospatial SaaS applications powering public safety 9-1-1 operations nationwide.
This is a fully remote work schedule with no geographic restrictions. No sponsorship is provided for this role; all candidates must be eligible to work for any employer in the United States without restrictions indefinitely.
What You'll Do
- Deliver clear, testable, and developer-ready requirements artifacts — including user stories, epics, acceptance criteria, functional specifications, and data mapping documentation — that enable engineering teams to implement with minimal ambiguity
- Lead weekly requirements calls with cross-functional stakeholders to advance, iterate, and align requirements across concurrent initiatives
- Define and document complex GIS data workflows including spatial editing, topology validation, geometry handling, and ETL transformation processes
- Design and document system integration workflows involving REST APIs, file-based data exchange, and cross-platform data synchronization to ensure data integrity and traceability
- Develop wireframes and mockups for GIS-centric user interfaces including map-based editing tools, attribute management panels, and workflow-driven UI states that translate technical requirements into intuitive user experiences
- Execute requirements gathering sessions with product managers, business development stakeholders, and external clients to capture, refine, and validate functional and system-level requirements
- Mentor and coach team members on requirements development best practices, contributing to improved consistency and quality across the product team
- Maintain and evolve internal requirements standards and governance practices to support scalable, high-quality SaaS product delivery
What You Need to Succeed
- Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience in a related field
- 3–5 years of experience as a requirements analyst, business analyst, or in a comparable role with documented responsibility for producing functional specifications and developer-ready requirements artifacts
- Proven ability to write clear, structured, and detailed software requirements for delivery to engineering teams in cross-cultural or distributed environments
- Demonstrated experience working with REST APIs and system integrations, including documentation of API contracts and data exchange specifications
- Experience working within or supporting a SaaS product development environment, including familiarity with agile backlog management and sprint-based delivery
- Practical understanding of technical architecture concepts — front-end, back-end, databases, APIs, and cloud/SaaS systems — at a level sufficient to write implementation-ready requirements
- Preferred: Experience with GIS platforms (e.g., ArcGIS Enterprise, SDE, feature services) or spatial data models
- Preferred: Background in UI/UX wireframing or prototyping tools (Figma, Balsamiq, Axure, or equivalent)
- Preferred: Experience using AI tools for requirements writing, business analysis, or rapid prototyping
- Preferred: Familiarity with Jira or similar agile project management platforms
- Preferred: Knowledge of NG911 standards, NENA data models, or public safety GIS data management
- Preferred: Experience working in a multi-tenant SaaS development environment
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with demonstrated ability to produce documentation suitable for non-native English-speaking development teams
- Ability to manage multiple concurrent priorities and iterate rapidly in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment
