## Description

The engineer, scientist, or software developer hired will develop and support modern, reproducible workflows for water data analysis and hydrologic modeling, with responsibilities such as:

 * Development of reusable and reproducible Python-orchestrated workflows and supporting software packages for scalable water data management, analysis, visualization, geoprocessing, and hydrologic modeling using modern geospatial Python libraries.
 * Creation and refinement of Analysis-Ready, Cloud-Optimized (ARCO) geospatial data products and data sharing systems that support watershed-scale hydrologic, hydraulic, inundation, and water quality modeling.
 * Contribution to open-source software repositories that support the USGS National Hydrologic Modeling Infrastructure and follow the vision of the multi-agency Integrated Hydro-Terrestrial Modeling 2.0 (IHTM) roadmap
 * Managing software and dataset development activities within collaborative, multidisciplinary teams using Git-based workflows in open-source repositories.

Initial responsibilities will be commensurate with experience and capability. Opportunities to contribute will focus on data analysis, visualization, and modeling of water at multiple scales with an emphasis on automation of data pipelines. You will work closely within collaborative teams to design and implement sound approaches for addressing project needs.

LimnoTech emphasizes collaborative learning, advanced training, and professional leadership, providing team members with the tools and work environment needed to chart their career paths. Opportunities abound for increased responsibilities and professional growth. If you're looking for the next step up in your career with a growth-oriented, employee-owned company, this could be the opportunity for you.
