The following are preferred additional qualifications for this position:

• 2+ years of relevant work experience.
• Scientific computing experience in Python, C++, or Fortran for tasks such as:
• Coupling water simulation models using the Basic Model Interface (BMI);
• Implementing Python wrappers for code written in C++ or Fortran;
• Vectorization of numerical algorithms using arrays and/or matrices;
• High-performance computing in distributed cloud environments.
• Familiarity with Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards and services, and with relational database design, management, and tuning for geospatial features.
• Experience developing open-source software in a collaborative environment, and with development or application of hydrologic, hydraulic, or inundation models.
