Software Engineering Director Jobs in Draper, UT

The Software Engineer II is an early- to mid-career professional responsible for contributing to the design, development, testing, and delivery of high-quality software solutions that support Verisk Weather Solutions products and services. This role focuses on building reliable, scalable systems that ingest, process, and deliver radar-based and other meteorological data products, with a strong emphasis on correctness, performance, and data integrity.

The individual will work closely with software engineers, product managers, scientists, and software architects to implement well-defined designs and support applications that rely heavily on radar and weather data formats. While the role may interact with data-driven or model-assisted workflows, the primary emphasis is on software engineering excellence and hands-on experience working with radar and meteorological data, rather than AI or model development.
