Front-End/UX or Full-Stack Developer

About the Role

In this role, you will lead the development of a web-based application for interacting with Intersphere's forecast data.

This application will help our customers visualize our forecasts and eventually build and deploy custom forecast systems through a user interface. You will develop the front-end, web-based application, and you will also work with other engineering team members to deploy the application on the cloud.

The application will help our customers understand our forecasts, which is essential to our mission of providing actionable information to as many organizations as possible. This role will enable our customers to use our forecasts as if they had their own in-house climate scientist and data scientist teams.
