Full job description

Your role

We are seeking a Team Leader (A3) for the Workflow Design and Integration Team, which sits at the heart of ECMWF’s operational forecasting systems. The team plays a crucial role in delivering ECMWF’s operational weather, environmental and climate services by ensuring that scientific and technical advances are integrated safely and efficiently into production.

This is a key operational, technical and leadership role at the intersection of science, software engineering, high-performance computing, machine learning and 24/7 operational delivery. You will provide technical and people leadership for the team responsible for ensuring that ECMWF’s prediction systems and services run reliably in production, while improving and modernising their workflows and integrating changes safely into operations.

The role spans the operational implementation of upgrades to ECMWF’s Integrated Forecasting System and Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System, Copernicus and Destination Earth production workflows, and the adaptation of operational suites to new and upgraded computing environments.

As Team Leader, you will set direction and priorities, develop the team and work closely with colleagues across ECMWF’s Forecasts and Services, Research and Computing Departments. The role requires hands-on technical credibility and practical leadership to manage dependencies, identify operational risks early and enable ECMWF to innovate quickly while protecting the reliability, traceability and quality of its operational systems and services.

About the Workflow Design and Integration Team

The Workflow Design and Integration Team, currently encompassing 10 staff, is part of the Production Section in ECMWF’s Forecasts and Services Department. It co-designs, integrates, tests and supports the workflows that allow ECMWF’s prediction systems and environmental and climate services to run reliably in operational production.

The team plays an important role as operational forecasting moves towards a more diverse mix of physics-based and data-driven systems, new computing environments and more complex data flows. These developments require disciplined workflow design, reliable orchestration, clear release processes and close coordination across ECMWF.

The team ensures that input data, model execution, post-processing, archiving, monitoring and dissemination steps are aligned and robust. It oversees workflows used to produce operational weather forecasts from medium-range to seasonal timescales, as well as machine-learning-enabled forecasts, Copernicus climate reanalyses and atmospheric composition services and Destination Earth Digital Twins. It also monitors the performance of operational suites, provides second-line support when problems are escalated by ECMWF’s operators, and contributes to change, configuration, release and incident-management processes.

Working jointly with colleagues in research, development and operations, the team modernises workflow design and integrates scientific and technical developments safely into production. It co-owns and evolves the end-to-end Research-to-Operations process, helping to reduce technical barriers and ensure appropriate optimisation, reliability, testing, documentation and operational readiness. An important direction of travel is closer alignment of the workflows, configuration and tooling used in research and operations: co-designed so that advances flow into production with less friction and lower risk.

Your responsibilities

As Team Leader, you will:

Lead, manage and motivate the Workflow Design and Integration Team by setting objectives and priorities, supporting effective delivery, and coaching and developing team members
Set direction for the design, testing, implementation and support of ECMWF’s operational forecasts and data-generation workflows, ensuring they run reliably and continue to improve
Oversee the performance of operational suites and the resolution of problems, including effective second-line support and on-call arrangements where required
Lead the team’s contribution to the end-to-end Research-to-Operations (R2O) process, co-owned with the Research Department, ensuring developments are tested, documented and ready for operations
Oversee the team’s contribution to change, configuration, release and incident management, promoting strong engineering practices
Report to and support the Head of Production Section in the team’s area of responsibility; contribute to planning, risk and resource management; communicate upcoming changes; and represent the team within ECMWF and externally, particularly with Member and Co-operating States

What we are looking for

We are looking for someone who combines deep technical expertise with practical, supportive leadership. You will be comfortable working with scientists, software engineers and operational colleagues and leading experts by setting clear direction, removing obstacles and enabling them to deliver.

You will bring:

A clear and supportive leadership style, with the ability to make decisions, delegate effectively and develop team members
Ability to lead an established team, promoting modern ways of working and continuous improvement, while building support and bringing people with you
Excellent judgement in balancing operational reliability, technical quality, innovation and delivery pressure
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a practical approach to continuous improvement
The ability to build trust across scientific, software engineering and operational communities and keep dependencies visible
Strong communication and organisational skills, with the flexibility and resilience to manage changing priorities, operational issues and tight deadlines

Your profile

Education

An advanced university degree, EQF Level 7 or above, or equivalent professional experience, in computer science, software engineering, physics, mathematics, meteorology, Earth-system science or another relevant discipline.

Essential experience and knowledge

Experience leading or coordinating technical work in a complex software, scientific computing or operational environment,
Experience in managing people or a demonstrated readiness to take on a formal team leadership and people management role
Experience in software development, workflow management or operational systems in a UNIX/Linux environment
Strong understanding of operational workflows, including software integration, scheduling, data-processing pipelines, archiving, post-processing, monitoring or dissemination
Good knowledge of software engineering practices, including version control, code review, testing and documentation, and familiarity with Python or another relevant programming language

Desirable experience and knowledge

Experience with high-performance computing, distributed applications, large-scale scientific software, operational performance and reliability, or change, configuration, release and incident management
Knowledge of operational forecasting, numerical weather prediction, Earth-system or environmental services, Copernicus, Destination Earth or machine-learning-enabled forecasting workflows, including relevant approaches to reproducibility, model versioning, workflow orchestration or MLOps

Languages

Candidates must be able to work effectively in English. A good knowledge of one of the Centre’s other working languages (French or German) is an advantage.

If you feel that you have the motivation and many of the skills for this role but don't meet precisely all of the criteria listed above, we still encourage you to apply.
