Overview
Feature services expose geographic features via a REST API and represent real world entities, such as roads or wildfire boundaries. Web, mobile, and desktop applications access these features over HTTP/REST for rendering, editing, and analysis and can be accessed connected or offline. The latter supports workflows where apps need to work with poor connectivity. Feature services are used by hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. As a software developer, you will work with a team of software engineers, product engineers, and designers dedicated to helping our users expose their geographic data over the Internet. You will be actively involved in enhancing the capabilities of feature services from inception to delivery.
