•    Collaborate with domain scientists to translate monitoring requirements into effective visual analytics.
•    Ensure dashboards remain performant and responsive under live data load. 

4.  Data Security & Governance
•    Implement and maintain role-based access control (RBAC) for all data assets.
•    Enforce data encryption at rest and in transit; manage secrets and credentials securely.
•    Support compliance with relevant data governance policies and institutional data-sharing agreements.
•    Maintain audit trails and access logs; respond to security reviews and risk assessments.

5.  Infrastructure & Operations
•    Manage cloud or on-premise database services (e.g. PostgreSQL/PostGIS, TimescaleDB, InfluxDB, or equivalent); tune for time-series and geospatial query performance.
•    Maintain CI/CD pipelines for data pipeline code; apply version control best practices.
•    Monitor pipeline health, set up alerting for failures, and respond to incidents.
•    Contribute to infrastructure-as-code practices (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform or equivalent)

•    Possess at least a Master’s degree in computer science, Data Engineering, Environmental Informatics, or a closely related field.
•    3–6 years of professional experience in data engineering, with demonstrable work on time-series or geospatial data.
•    Proficiency in Python (pandas, NumPy, xarray, or similar) and SQL; experience with at least one workflow orchestration tool (Airflow, Prefect, Luigi, etc.).
•    Hands-on experience with geospatial or scientific data formats: NetCDF, HDF5, GeoTIFF, GeoJSON, or similar.
•    Working knowledge of relational and time-series databases, with practical experience in data modelling.
•    Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerisation (Docker).
•    Solid understanding of data security principles: encryption, RBAC, secrets management. 
•    Open to fixed-term contract. 

Experience
•    Experience with environmental, meteorological, or hydrological datasets (radar QPE, NWP outputs, IoT sensor networks).
•    Familiarity with PostGIS or other spatially enabled database extensions.
•    Exposure to machine learning pipelines or MLOps practices for model output ingestion.
•    Experience building dashboards with Grafana, Apache Superset, Plotly Dash, or equivalent.
•    Contributions to open-source scientific data tooling (e.g. xarray, GDAL ecosystem).

Core Competencies
•    Preferably knowledge with Python, SQL, Bash
