Entry Level GIS Developer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level gis developer job?
Build a portfolio of hands-on spatial projects using ArcGIS or QGIS, even if the work comes from coursework, personal projects, or volunteer mapping. Employers at this level look for demonstrated ability with GIS software, basic SQL or Python for data processing, and familiarity with spatial data formats like shapefiles or GeoJSON. A relevant internship or certificate from a recognized GIS program also gives candidates a clear edge over applicants without field-specific experience.
Which companies hire entry level gis developers?
Companies hiring entry level gis developers right now include Infojini, Hitachi Energy, and 4P Consulting, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a broad mix of employers, including government contractors, environmental consulting firms, utilities, and tech companies building location-based products.
Are there remote entry level gis developer jobs?
Yes, though on-site and hybrid roles are more common at the entry level than fully remote positions. About 38% of entry level gis developer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates with flexibility on location will find a wider range of options across the country.
Are these new grad gis developer jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior gis developer roles. A new grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship or academic project work in place of professional history, and does not require prior full-time GIS employment. If a posting mentions "entry level," "junior," or "no experience required," it is generally a strong fit for someone entering the field for the first time.
Which industries hire the most entry level gis developers?
Entry Level gis developer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Manufacturing, and Energy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because their core operations depend on spatial data analysis, mapping, and geographic decision-making, creating consistent demand for candidates who can work with GIS tools right out of school.
