Full-Stack Weather Software Engineer

Spire Global - Full-Stack Weather Software Engineer

Spire Global runs the world’s largest multi-purpose satellite constellation, streaming real-time weather and Earth‑observation data. Our Weather division fuses AI and NWP forecasts—initialized with Spire’s proprietary observational data—to build mission‑critical products for customers across energy trading, utilities, agriculture, and other industries.

As a Full-Stack Weather Software Engineer, you’ll build and deploy customer products and the frontend systems that deliver them. The role sits at the intersection of weather science, geophysical sensing, cloud engineering, and modern AI tooling, building operational products that customers depend on every day. We’re looking for engineers who combine strong frontend skills, weather domain knowledge, and effective use of modern AI tooling.

• Design and build customer‑facing dashboards and applications that present forecasts, NWP outputs, and AI model outputs through interactive maps, time‑series views, comparisons, and alerts.
• Own the full vertical slice—React/Type Script on the frontend and Python services and APIs on the backend—using AWS infrastructure.
• Take work from prototype to production: deploy, monitor, and iterate.
• Build and deploy operational weather products from model output for customers in energy trading, utilities, agriculture, and other industries.
• Collaborate with scientists, designers, and product managers to bring research and model output into production products.

• 3+ years building production software with a strong frontend track record and experience deploying and operating production systems.
• Strong frontend skills:
  React, Type Script, modern build tooling (Vite, Next.js, or similar), and a clear sense of UX for data‑dense interfaces.
• Comfort across the stack and cloud:
  Python services, REST/Graph
  
  QL APIs, containerization, CI/CD, and AWS (Lambda, ECS/EKS, S3, Step Functions), Docker, Terraform, Git Hub Actions.
• Strong knowledge of weather models—both NWP (GFS, ECMWF, HRRR, WRF) and modern AI forecasters (Graph Cast, Pangu‑Weather, Four Cast Net , AIFS)—and major observational data sources (satellite, radar, surface, radio occultation).
• Strong working knowledge of the software stack for weather and geophysical data: GRIB2, NetCDF, Zarr, and the Pangeo ecosystem (xarray, Dask). Ability to communicate fluently with scientists.
• Day‑to‑day fluency with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code or Codex.
