Off (in addition to Personal Days) An IDEAS (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Awareness, Solidarity) team ⚖️ spoiler alert… we are the home of The Weather Network ) The Software Developer, Meteorological Development is responsible for designing, developing new features, enhancements and services for the meteorological platforms that powers The Weather Network, MeteoMedia, ElTiempo.The systems must have high availability, fast response times and scalability to support 4 billion global locations with high quality data. Working within an Agile development environment, the developer will build and maintain backend systems written in C/C++ , Go , Python , and Rust while solving complex technical and algorithmic challenges associated with processing and distributing large-scale weather data. These services are deployed and running under Kubernetes (EKS), ECS clusters and EC2 instances.

Development of these distributed applications and microservices within Linux environments uses technologies including Docker, Kubernetes, Istio, services, Redis, and cloud-native architectures. The developer will participate in requirements analysis and help design, implement, integrate, test, document and deploy backend meteorological systems and processes. The developer will also provide professional technical support and be well-versed in SDLC and building robust, high performance systems.

Please note this is a contract role until February 2027 and w e are only considering candidates who are eligible to work in Canada and can work in a Hybrid model at our Oakville, ON, Canada location. Design, implement, and maintain high-performance meteorological software systems using C/C++, Go, Python, and Rust, including backend services, distributed systems, REST and gRPC APIs, and large-scale data processing pipelines.

Robust experience developing applications with CMake and compilers such as gcc/g++, Go, and Rust, as well as the Python interpreter, along with operating distributed systems in Linux environments using Docker containers and Helm charts.

Experience developing software that processes and manages large volumes of data. Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and their practical application to solving complex problems. Knowledge of software security best practices and secure development principles.

Experience with Redis and distributed caching platforms such as AWS ElastiCache.

Experience implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins.

Experience building and consuming REST-based APIs and web services.





Experience building highly available, scalable, and fault-tolerant systems that support large-scale workloads and data processing.

Experience building microservices and managing Kubernetes deployments, including service mesh technologies such as Istio.

Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS and Google Cloud. Strong problem-solving and communication skills with the ability to gather requirements, whiteboard solutions, articulate technical trade-offs, and collaborate effectively with the broader team. Keen interest in data and data mining Experience with spatiotemporal data sets and scientific data formats including netCDF, HDF, GRIB and BUFR would be a plus.

Education or experience in applying ML/AI to augment data analysis Bring curiosity and creative thinking to solving complex technical challenges. Can work independently with minimal supervision while consistently delivering on commitments. Are an engaged, collaborative team player who builds strong relationships and enjoys helping others succeed.

Have a natural curiosity about data: especially understanding source data such as meteorological data, what it means, and how it can create value. Frequent employee pulse surveys we value your feedback so we can continue to make Pelmorex a great place to work! We’re a team that enjoys learning new technologies and we’re open to trying new things With innovation at our core, we provide precision, speed, and unmatched reliability—safeguarding lives, powering decisions, and driving business success.

We welcome candidates using AI tools to prepare for interviews or to learn more about Pelmorex. We ask that candidates not use real-time AI assistance, live answer prompts, or automated response tools during interviews. This helps ensure a fair process for everyone and allows us to evaluate how you approach problems and communicate in your own voice.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
