Job Description
Your world of expertise
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is creating new, transformative, ways to deliver weather and climate science and services. It has the potential to reduce compute requirements thousands-fold compared to existing numerical weather prediction (NWP) methods, opening new opportunities such as high-resolution “km-scale” prediction, and moving forecasting out of the domain of supercomputers and onto edge devices.
To realise any of these opportunities as an operational service that delivers customer value, the Met Office needs the capability to develop and run data-driven workflows in a secure, sustainable and cost-effective way.
There is a strong need for a consistent AI Operations Platform that enables internal users to do foundation AI research, develop valuable datasets, and then rapidly pull-through to operations data-driven weather and climate services.
In this post you will be a core developer of the AI Operations platform, implementing features to ensure it is suitable for Met Office weather and climate workloads and that deploying AI models into operations is repeatable, scalable and highly available.
