22-125 Database Engineer
The Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University (CSU) seeks to fill a full-time database engineering position for its collaborative research and development as a Cooperative Institute with the Weather Information and Applications Division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) Meteorological Development Laboratory (MDL) in Silver Spring, MD. The position is for a database engineer whose background includes enterprise-level PostgreSQL database design and development using the Java Persistence Architecture (JPA). This position is located in a federal facility in Silver Spring, MD and requires the ability to pass a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) Tier 1 federal background check for building access. The office will be in Silver Spring; however, the option exists to work remotely from your home/office with periodic coordination meetings in Silver Spring.
The Weather Information and Applications Division of the MDL seeks a Database Engineer to work on the Impact-based Decision Support Services (IDSS) Management System (IMS) project. This project will create for the NWS a set of nationally consistent and operationally supported tools for IDSS.
This position requires prior experience in enterprise-level PostgreSQL database design and development using the Java Persistence Architecture. In collaboration with the project team, the individual in this position will help design, develop, test, refine, and document the database that will be used to store and manage NWS partner data, the weather-related impacts of concern to those partners, those impacts' time frames, and other related information. The database will backend both a browser-based graphical user interface as well as an API. The flow of engineering information will be bidirectional, as the individual in this position should have sufficient experience to help guide Java software development that results in more optimal, higher performance database design and usage. The work will include participating in twice-weekly development discussions, and semi-annual in-person meetings may take place in Silver Spring. The work may also involve responding to ad hoc requests from the project team and the project sponsor, e.g., providing database performance metrics.
