The Software Developer, Meteorological Development is responsible for designing, developing new features, enhancements and services for the meteorological platforms that powers The Weather Network, MeteoMedia, ElTiempo.es, and subsidiaries.  The systems must have high availability, fast response times and scalability to support 4 billion global locations with high quality data.  Are you up for the challenge?

In this role, the successful candidate will work closely with technology and business teams to define and implement functional requirements for meteorological applications and services. Working within an Agile development environment, the developer will build and maintain backend systems written in C/C++, Go, Python, and Rust while solving complex technical and algorithmic challenges associated with processing and distributing large-scale weather data. These services are deployed and running under Kubernetes (EKS), ECS clusters and EC2 instances. Development of these distributed applications and microservices within Linux environments uses technologies including Docker, Kubernetes, Istio, HTTP/gRPC services, Redis, and cloud-native architectures. 

Background in meteorology is a “nice to have”, but if you don’t, don’t worry you will be working closely with our Meteorology R&D team and have the support of the current development team. 

The developer will participate in requirements analysis and help design, implement, integrate, test, document and deploy backend meteorological systems and processes. The developer will also provide professional technical support and be well-versed in SDLC and building robust, high performance systems.
