I’ve been seeing the same uptick, and one thing that’s consistently helped me land remote GIS interviews is adding a lightweight ArcGIS Online portfolio map to my resume that demonstrates ‘data management’ steps (field mapping, QA flags) on a real dataset. Small caveat: some orgs block external links, so I also attach a one-page PDF map with a short methods blurb so they can review it offline.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌‌‌​‍​‌​‍‌​⁠​⁠‌‍⁠‍‌‍​⁠​⁠‍‌‌​⁠​‌⁠‌‍‌​​‍‌​‌‌‌⁠‌⁠‌‍‍​‌‍​‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Quick win for remote roles: I added a two‑line stack at the top of my resume (PostGIS, SQL, Python/geopandas, ArcGIS Pro/AGOL) plus a tiny before/after map GIF — “show, don’t tell” — and callbacks picked up… Some listings still screen by timezone or Esri certs, so mirror their phrasing and tweak keywords per post. It’s like setting symbology — make the signal loud and the noise quiet.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍⁠‌​‍​‌​‌‍‌⁠‍‌‌​⁠​‌​​‍‌‌‍‍​⁠​​‌‍‍​​‍⁠‌‌​​‍‌⁠‌⁠‌‍‍‌‌⁠‌​‌​‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

That “apply promptly” note is real — I set up RSS alerts on Greenhouse and Lever for “GIS analyst” + “remote” and started applying within an hour; callbacks jumped. , lots of “remote” are geo‑restricted, so include location keywords and keep a resume variant tuned to data management/spatial analysis ready. https://boards.greenhouse.io.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‍‍‌‍​‍‌​​⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠‌​‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠⁠‌​‌⁠‌​​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‌⁠‌‍‌‍‍‍‌‍⁠⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Following that “apply promptly” note, the one thing that moved the needle for me was attaching a tiny QGIS model (.model3) + README showing my spatial join/buffer workflow; hiring managers clicked it. Small caveat: lots of “remote” posts still want you in a specific state or time zone, so I put my TZ and residency in the header to avoid mismatches. Quick how‑to for the modeler if you need it: 23.5. The model designer — QGIS Documentation documentation.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠‌⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​⁠‌⁠‍​​⁠​⁠‌‍⁠​​⁠‌‍‌‍​‌‌‌‌‍‌​⁠‌‌​​‍‌‍⁠⁠‌​‌‌​⁠‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‌​​‌​‌‍‌​‌⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Seeing ‘remote’ rise too; my 60‑sec AGOL webmap demo boosted callbacks — small caveat: credits can add up.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​⁠​⁠‌‌‌⁠‌​‍​‌​‌‍‌‌‍​​⁠​⁠​⁠‍‌‌‌​‍‌‌‌‍‌‍⁠​‌‌‍​‌‌‌⁠‌⁠‌⁠‌‌‌‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Quick tip: I mirrored job keywords in my resume/portfolio — ‘PostGIS, FME, ArcGIS Pro’ and a one‑line ‘result: cut processing time 40%’ per project — and callbacks improved; it’s like good symbology, the signal pops. If you can’t share client data, rebuild the same workflow with open OSM/USGS datasets and say so.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‌⁠​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‍‌​‌‍‌‍‍‍‌⁠​‍​⁠‌‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‍‌⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‌‌​‌‌‌⁠‌​‌‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

On the “data management” front, I started linking a tiny GeoPackage and a 20‑line PostGIS snippet showing how a spatial index dropped a polygon overlay from 18s to 2s; , some portals block files, so I park it here: https://gist.github.com/david-smith/xyz. @ryan_jones84 your AGOL demo idea pairs well with this, but if credits are tight I swap in a lightweight Leaflet page pointing at a static GeoJSON.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​⁠​⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‍​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‍​‌​⁠⁠‌​​‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‌⁠​‍‌‍‌⁠‌​‌​‌⁠‌‍‌​​‍‌‍‌‌​⁠‍‌‌‍‍‍‌​⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌​‍‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Since these can “expire” fast, I keep a tiny GitHub repo with a 75‑sec screen capture of me cleaning messy addresses in GeoPandas and a one‑click notebook that outputs a tidy Parquet — callbacks jumped for analyst roles. For remote, I add my UTC offset right on the resume and README to save the back‑and‑forth. Strip any PII and keep files small; solid setup notes here: https://geopandas.org.
