Job Title: C++ Programmer

Location: Seattle, WA

Duration: 12 Months

W2 Only

The Client requires the skills of an experienced C++ Programmer that has applied ecological knowledge to work on the Comprehensive Passage (COMPASS) model. COMPASS produces predictions of the effects of alternative dam and reservoir operations on juvenile salmon and steelhead survival and passage through the Columbia River hydropower system. It is an essential backbone for salmon life cycle modeling and supports decisions about hydropower operations and salmon and steelhead management.

Technical details

COMPASS is a complex multifaceted ecological model written in C++ for maximum computing performance and is expected to remain in use for the foreseeable future. The COMPASS codebase is based on object-oriented design and is split into many .cpp files, with each file containing functions related to handling a specific task. The total codebase is ~230,000 lines. The model is built under the Qt 6 development environment with C++ 17. Boost is also used in the compilation process. The codebase resides in a Git repository, with documented processes to install and configure the Qt environment to compile and deploy builds. Other tools are generally not under consideration to limit dependencies and need for licenses. Windows is the primary platform for the graphical user interface (GUI) and the anticipated userbase (a small team), but the current codebase and development environment can also compile the GUI for Linux and Mac OSX. Individual builds of the model may be in use for ~1 year before being superseded by a new build. NOAA will provide all data necessary to run the model, including input datafiles, historical model builds, and historical model outputs. The contractor will have access to NOAA internal systems, repositories, and servers necessary to accomplish the tasks. The contractor is expected to work with NOAA personnel to troubleshoot and debug the program and to implement new ecological features. Code and documentation developed under this contract will be the property of the U.S. Government.

Key qualifications

Required: A degree in a computer science field, 10+ years of applied programming experience, and proficiency in C++ specifically. Examples of completed projects using C++ can be used to demonstrate proficiency.

Strongly preferred: Coursework in ecology, fisheries, oceanography, natural resources, or a related field. Experience working with complex ecological models that inform management decisions.
