Senior Esri Visualization Engineer

About Future Works

Future Works is a US-focused, AI-native professional services firm building operational AI and data systems. Our foundation beliefs are simple: optimization lowers need for resources, which increases sustainability and resilience. We are a team of "Time Benders" on a mission to collapse timelines to operational transformation of high footprint companies in energy, real estate, data and beyond. Together , we master velocity. We achieve our mission by building flawless, AI-powered systems. Our technology is already far more advanced than that of boutique services firms, but we are only getting started and the road from here leads to becoming world's best Service-as-Software company. Regardless of the specific role, our ideal candidate will always have a keen interest in building symbiotic human-AI systems both individually and for teams; high energy, high agency and a certain passion for bending time.

The Role

We are seeking a Senior Esri Visualization Engineer to build production-grade 3D digital twin experiences for one of North America's largest solar energy companies. You will use the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript to create interactive geospatial visualizations integrated directly into a live Angular web platform, transforming how field operators, construction managers, and executives see and interact with solar infrastructure. This is not a standalone mapping project. You will be embedded full-time within the client's development squad, committing code into their repository, attending their scrum ceremonies, and collaborating daily with their engineers. You will leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate your output, from code generation and scene optimization to data modeling and testing. At Future Works, AI is not an afterthought; it is how we deliver faster and better than firms three times our size.

Key Responsibilities
• Build interactive 3D scene visualizations using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript ( @arcgis/core ), specifically SceneView , scene layers, and Esri web components.
• Integrate Esri 3D visualization components directly into a production Angular application, working within the client's codebase and repository.
• Render and optimize geospatial data layers including solar field layouts, infrastructure assets, terrain models, and real-time operational data overlays in 3D.
• Tune rendering performance and visual fidelity to meet production-quality standards in the browser (WebGL, GPU profiling, level-of-detail management).
• Work with mock/static GIS data initially, then transition to live data endpoints; adapt the UI as real data replaces mock data.
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Claude, cursor-based coding agents) to accelerate implementation, write tests, debug rendering issues, and prototype scene configurations faster .
• Participate in client scrum ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives) as a fully embedded squad member .
• Collaborate closely with a Future Works Full Stack / Front End Engineer on Angular component architecture, state management, and API integration.
• Coordinate with the client's Technology Director and development team on data contracts, API specifications, and integration points.


Challenges and Opportunities for Growth
• Shape how a major energy company visualizes and operates its entire solar infrastructure through a 3D digital twin, from initial deployment through to customer-facing production use.
• Push the boundaries of what Esri's JavaScript SDK can do in a real-time, data-rich enterprise application.
• Work at the intersection of GIS, 3D visualization, and AI-accelerated engineering within a firm that is building the future of how professional services are delivered.
• Influence how Future Works approaches geospatial and visualization engagements across the energy sector and beyond.


Required Skills and Experience
• 3+ years working with the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript (formerly ArcGIS API for JavaScript), specifically 3D capabilities: SceneView , scene layers, @arcgis/core npm package.
• Strong JavaScript/TypeScript skills with experience building in Angular (or deep experience in React/Vue with willingness to work in Angular).
• Proven experience building 3D geospatial visualizations for web: terrain rendering, 3D symbology, visual variables, scene layer management, camera and navigation controls.
• Experience with Esri data formats and services: Web Scenes, Scene Layers (I3S), Feature Layers, ArcGIS Online or Enterprise portal.
• Understanding of GIS fundamentals: coordinate systems, spatial references, projections, vector vs. raster data.
• Experience optimizing 3D rendering performance in the browser: draw call management, level-of-detail, texture optimization, frame rate tuning.
• Active use of AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Claude, or similar) to accelerate coding, debugging, and prototyping. We expect you to work with AI, not around it.
• Experience working in professional services or consultancy environments, embedded within client teams.
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work with cross-functional teams across time zones.

Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with digital twin implementations (infrastructure, energy, utilities, or construction).
• Familiarity with solar energy or renewable energy asset data: tracker layouts, inverters, substations, terrain models.
• Experience with Esri's newer capabilities: GaussianSplatLayer (photorealistic rendering), Building Scene Layers, integrated mesh layers.
• Experience with Azure-hosted Esri environments or ArcGIS Enterprise on cloud infrastructure.
• Previous work integrating Esri components into enterprise Angular applications (not standalone map apps).
• Knowledge of API-driven and data-rich environments where the front end must adapt to evolving backend data contracts.
