Senior Software Engineer

Tomorrow.io’s Weather department is a mixture of scientists and engineers committed to generating the best and most novel data and models across all times: historical, real-time and forecast. We also focus on making everything become a weather station (from cars to microwave links to IoT devices). The story just begins when the data hits our ingest and post-processing services. Every product that the user sees is the result of a pipeline of algorithms that needs to be run quickly and continuously. We are the team that builds the architecture behind the data and the models, to prepare the weather analyses, for the Product and Engineering team to serve to the masses.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a Meteorological background to work in a fast-paced Agile development environment for modernizing science-driven applications to operate on cloud platforms. Our team provides acceleration of community-developed scientific and technological enhancements into the operational applications for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and improved Research to Operations (R2O). As a member of the team, you will ensure adherence to operational agreements and policies (including response times), compliance to program and customer standards and requirements (including Section 508 compliance), leveraging of industry best practices for automation and scalability of assets, and implementation of issue detection and alerts, and make sure we are building the biggest weather platform in the world.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Tomorrow.io you'll:

• Have impact to the next generation forecast system of the National Weather Service by working on a small agile team to deliver applications based on the Unified Forecast System.
• Engage the UFS modeling community to improve the forecast in different scales, from Short-range to Medium-range, and from the coastal zone to atmospheric rivers .
• Develop and manage advanced scripts for flexible end-to-end system testing and integration.
• Design, setup, and conduct pre-implementation tests for experimental model runs and perform other duties as assigned.

What you bring: 

• 8 years of relevant experience with a BS degree in Meteorology, Computer Science, or an IT related field preferred (Optionally STEM focused - Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics with relevant work experience around the required skills)
• In Depth Knowledge of the Unified Forecast System (UFS) atmospheric river model and UFS model components, specifically FV3, CCPP, MOM6, ESMF and NUOPC, UPP, and Spack-Stack, ufs-bundle, and JEDI skylab.
• Knowledge of workflow development to enable a UFS Global nested capability.
• Ability to optimize and benchmark Fortran source code for UFS atmospheric river model.
• Knowledge of the implementation of data assimilation frameworks such as UFS-JEDI.
• HPC experience in both on-premise and cloud computing technologies.

If you're seeking an opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology in weather forecasting and contribute significantly to enhancing climate change security, then this is the ideal place for you!

If your experience is close but doesn’t fulfill all requirements, please apply. Tomorrow.io  is on a mission to build a special company. To achieve our goal, we are focused on hiring people with different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
