As part of the industrialization of Earth observation processing chains, with a significant hydrological component, the "Atmospheric Sounding and Atmospheric Physics" team is looking for an experienced software development engineer (M/F) for scientific data processing. This team, composed of 18 engineers including 8 doctors, works on projects mainly related to Earth observation and specializes in the restitution of geophysical products from atmospheric signal measurements. It also positions itself on innovative projects involving data valorization through new technologies such as those used for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. The data used comes from field observations, spatial observations, and models simulating physical processes interacting in the Earth-Atmosphere system.

By joining us, you will be entrusted with the following missions:

Development and management of the evolution of processing chains and their architecture on HPC (SLURM), Cloud (K8s), etc. environments.

IT support to the team on various studies and industrial projects, in particular the technical responsibility for the development and maintenance of complex algorithmic software.

Management of tools implemented on projects (CI/CD chains, containerization, etc.)

Performance analysis and monitoring of scientific data processing chains (Earth observation, atmospheric sounding, etc.)

Your profile

You master Python with classic scientific data processing libraries and processing containerization.

You have knowledge of lower-level languages (C, Fortran, etc.) and Scripting (shell, etc.).

You know CI/CD concepts (especially Gitlab-CI) as well as good DevOps practices.

You know data formats used in Earth/atmosphere observation (GeoTIFF, NetCDF, etc.) and ARCO formats (zarr, etc.).

Knowledge of the Pangeo ecosystem, and more broadly of georeferenced data processing, is a plus.

Knowledge of cloud environments and container orchestration is welcome.

You have a spirit of initiative and daily autonomy in your work.

You are curious about the state of the art and attracted to innovation.

You like working in a team on varied subjects.
