Core understanding of cloud computing (e.g., AWS services like IAM, Lambda, S3, RDS)

Example Responsibilities (including but not limited to):
Architect and propose new AWS/Databricks solutions & updates to existing backend systems that ingest, cache, and process terabyte and petabyte level weather data (e.g., from IBM Weather Company API)
Work closely with the product management team and end users to understand customer experience and system requirements, build backlog, and prioritize work
Build infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform)
Improve system scalability and optimize workflows to reduce cloud costs
Create and update REST APIs and backend processes (e.g., AWS Chalice/Lambda) for current, historical, and forecast weather data
Build/support solutions involving containerization (e.g., Docker), caching (Redis), and databases (e.g., PostgreSQL/PostGIS)
Support Databricks/Spark pipelines for historical weather data backfill into S3 (Parquet/Delta Lake) and data analysis (SQL/PySpark)
Migrate and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions)
Enhance monitoring and alerting for weather systems (e.g., Datadog)
Enable field testing and customer support operations by debugging and fixing data issues
