We are seeking a database architect for maintaining a large and growing repository of geophysical scientific data (50TB). The bulk of the data consists of Global Climate Data, Numerical weather forecasting models (GCMs), Seismic and Earthquake events, Hurricane storm tracks. This data must be updated daily and organized for consumption by scientists through consistent data access layers and APIs. Experience with large scientific datasets is preferred, and suggest that you highlight this experience compared to large transactional databases. Specific Responsibilities include creating an optimized database architecture for efficient delivery, maintaining and updating the database with new data sets, refining and automating regular data harvesting processes, refining DB queries and indexes to speed performance, and expertise in SQL and NoSQL environments. The candidate will work largely independently, but also collaboratively with other code developers in an agile development framework. Results are prioritized over process. This senior position will report directly to the chief technical officer.
