You are enthusiastic about designing and developing software solutions, but “purpose != *”. You get really passionate when the data you process and the code you write serve a clear societal mission. When the solutions you develop improve people’s lives and help organizations innovate.
You are a real do-er, and the idea of working in a team of scientists doesn’t scare you, but makes you curious: how can you use your coding and programming skills to make the scientists’ ideas come to life? To enable them to use the data even better? You believe in FAIR data, and want to dedicate your time to make this a reality.
If this sounds very familiar, we are looking for you!
The FAIR Data Engineer will work with our research teams to design and develop software solutions that will support scientific projects, where main responsibilities include the design, creation and support of databases using good data management practices, the development of workflows and pipelines for data integration and analysis, user-facing applications, and end-to-end data flows.
