Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL is part of the ETH Domain. Approximately 600 people work on the sustainable use and protection of the environment and on the handling of natural hazards.
The Science IT and Environmental Data group, part of the FOREMA research unit, aims to provide state‑of‑the‑art, in‑house Science IT technology consulting to empower WSL scientists in pushing the boundaries of modern environmental research. The WSL offers a tenure‑track position as a Science IT Software Engineer – HPC, Containerization and DevOps (60–80%, f/m/d).
Science IT Software Engineer – HPC, Containerization and DevOps 60–80% (f/m/d) Become part of a small and passionate group in charge of building state‑of‑the‑art Science IT capabilities at WSL. We offer you the opportunity to shape the future of Science IT at WSL and give you ample room to innovate.
In this Science IT role, you will develop and manage the access to internal or external science‑oriented high‑performance computing (HPC) infrastructures, including especially user support, usage guidelines, and user training. You will support and empower our environmental scientists in accessing and responsibly using both internal and external HPC resources and provide technical consulting on the optimisation and development of HPC applications.
With documentation and tutorials, you will build scientists’ know‑how and promote standardised approaches for the efficient use of HPC clusters. You will also provide recommendations for virtualisation and cloud computing, including project‑specific consultation. Finally, you will initiate and coordinate internal collaboration, networking and knowledge exchange among HPC and Science IT users.
You possess a completed degree in IT, software engineering or a scientific field (or comparable education and skills) with a minimum of two years of experience. Strong skills in HPC environment configuration, HPC application development, Linux package installation and software management, containerisation, and automatic data pipelines are expected.
The ideal profile is rounded up by experience in the technical implementation of HPC‑related software engineering projects, including code optimisation, parallelisation (MPI), GPU‑programming and DevOps.
