As the City's technology and innovation leader, OTI is responsible for operating, maintaining, and securing IT infrastructure and systems that touch every aspect of City life from public safety to human services, from education to economic development crossing the full spectrum of governmental operations.

At OTI, we offer great benefits, and the chance to work on projects that have a meaningful impact on millions of people. You'll have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology, transition our existing data infrastructure to a cloud-centric platform, and collaborate with other passionate professionals who share your drive and commitment to making a difference through technology.

The GIS team at OTI builds various spatial data solutions and products, enabling the analysis and use of Citywide spatial assets. The Senior GIS Analyst will be part of an exciting team to help New York City collect spatial data to facilitate the use of GIS data in various applications and allow the 3D mapping of critical underground assets. Data for the 3D program will include data from utilities, NYC agencies, universities, and industry partners specializing in Ground Penetrating Radars and other subsurface mapping technologies. The collection and mapping of this data will help NYC better understand its critical subsurface infrastructure and improve the safety of workers in the field and city residents. Join us as part of a program to help move NYC’s GIS capabilities forward and revolutionize how GIS data is used and visualized.

Responsibilities will include:
• Work with GIS and Data Engineering teams across the City to build citywide GIS and 3D mapping solutions;
