About this role
Python, Linux, Data Processing, Software Architecture, Amazon Web Services, Bash · I work with MRMS radar data stored as .grib2 files on Amazon Web Services and need a reliable way to turn those files into standard GEMPAK (.gem) datasets for further data-analysis workflows. The exact path you choose is up to you—whether you craft a Python or Bash script, chain existing utilities such as wgrib2, leverage native GEMPAK converters, or wrap everything inside a small API or container. What matters is that the solution consistently ingests the MRMS archives from AWS, performs the format translation, and leaves me with clean, ready-to-use .gem files.
Key points I have in mind • The conversion must run unattended once configured, ideally accepting a date/time or file list and processing in batch. • Output .gem files should preserve the full MRMS metadata so they open seamlessly in GEMPAK analysis tools. • Documentation (read-me or inline comments) must explain every dependency, command, and option so I can reproduce the workflow on my own Linux machine. • Efficiency counts: downloading only the needed tiles or using on-the-fly streaming is a plus, but clarity and reliability are more important than micro-optimisations.
