Client
Our client is an executive agency of the Australian Government responsible for providing weather services to Australia and surrounding areas.
Role
The Project is currently in its phase 3, a major component of the assistance provided by Australia to enable 15 partner Pacific Island countries and territories adapt to, and mitigate, the impacts of climate variability and change.
Requirements
Our client is seeking an experienced full-stack developer to join the project team as a Pacific Senior Full-Stack Developer. The role will develop two key pieces of infrastructure that deliver climate data and products for users in the Pacific.
This includes developing a new Pacific Climate Change Data Portal (to replace the existing portal that has been in service since 2009) and a new climate monitoring and prediction website associated with gridded historical data associated with MSWEP and ERA5 as well as the Australian ACCESS-S prediction model (also to replace an existing website that has been in service since 2020). The former is not expected to receive frequent data updates (e.g. at most several times a year) while the latter will require an interactive display with multiple data sources updating multiple times per week.
This role will involve front-end web development that adheres to the latest web standards and that visualises gridded and point data in user-friendly interfaces tailored toward bandwidth-limited environments (as many users may not have access to high-speed internet). Back-end development will also be required to handle the uploading and management of gridded and point-based climate data that are stored in multiple file formats.
Developing these websites each represents a significant undertaking and could form two separate or integrated phases of development. Development of the climate change data portal would ideally take place first, followed by developing the new climate monitoring and prediction website. The climate monitoring and prediction website is expected to leverage code and design elements from the climate change data portal.
Responsibilities Develop a new climate change data portal that stores gridded and point-based climate data and can dynamically display this data through maps and time series plots. Fully scoped requirements will be provided.Develop a new climate monitoring and prediction interactive website that presents gridded data and can dynamically display maps including zoom functionality and point-based display enabling multiple pieces of data to be presented for a location. Fully scoped requirements will be provided.Adhere to the latest web development standards.Design and develop with a focus on simplicity, security, robustness (including automatic testing) and longevity of code.Develop high quality internal documentation.Develop a front-end that minimises bandwidth requirements for users.Work closely with project scientists who will develop and/or prepare the data that will be served on both websites. Knowledge & Skills Required Demonstrated working knowledge and experience in responsive design, development and coding of web applications using a variety of Open Source and Commercial technologies, particularly Linux (Ubuntu), PostgreSQL, Python, PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Experience with Amazon Web Services, Apache, Bootstrap, Leaflet and Highcharts advantageous.Experience in coding, building, testing and deploying software onto AWS, as well as with containerisation (e.g. Docker).Experience with multi-dimensional geophysical data, especially climate or weather data in the netCDF file format, will be highly advantageous.Sound inter-personal skills are required, and the ability to liaise with a range of different personnel from within the organisation, Pacific partner organisations, regional and international research organisations such as WMO, and the 15 COSPPac partner countries and territories.Demonstrated team working skills and experience of working in a team framework are essential.Demonstrated time management skills and self-motivation, and the ability to work autonomously and in a team environment with minimal supervision to meet deadlines.
