Originally developed with funding support from the State of Louisiana, FloodID is now in use by two emergency operations centers, one statewide and one citywide, with additional business development efforts to expand usage in and around the Gulf Coast and the Eastern seaboard underway. Currently there is a fractional technical development team, including one senior full-stack developer, one data engineer, and one senior computational scientist (i.e., numerical modeler and HPC lead), supported by a senior product manager and the director of the Digital Solutions department at The Water Institute. This position will report to the Senior Computational Scientist.
Roles and Responsibilities: • Reduce manual work by developing and maintaining scripts and tools to automate recurring tasks and streamline incident response. • Implement monitoring tools to proactively identify and resolve potential issues. • Identify existing infrastructure risks and work with the team to develop pragmatic plans for addressing them. • Optimize system performance, enhance stability, scalability, and resilience. • Act as the on-call engineer, responding quickly to incidents, especially during hurricane season (June – Nov). • Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve incidents to minimize user impact. • Coordinate with colleagues to ensure rapid incident resolution and root cause analysis. • Document incidents, responses, and resolutions in a clear and structured format. • Contribute to the team's standard operating procedures for handling incidents. • Hands-on coding and development. • Implement best practices for testing, code reviews, and quality assurance to ensure software reliability and security. • Stay up-to-date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in site reliability and share knowledge with the team.
