The successful candidate will join the Cloud Consultants Team (Technology and Science Integration team - TSI) which is responsible for providing the agreed governance, technical support and architectural & policy guidance in the usage of public and hybrid clouds at EMBL-EBI.
Our team is supporting the transformation for more than 600 developers, bioinformaticians and researchers at EMBL-EBI to build cloud portable applications and pipelines (based on containers) that can be deployed on our public and internal infrastructure (Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services and OpenStack). Inside this collaborative effort you will be responsible for:
- Improving the automation of procedures in the usage of cloud resources.
- Providing guidance and best practices in the usage of cloud technologies building practical starting-examples, proof of concepts and providing training.
- Direct support with Research and Service teams to adapt their current pipelines to cloud native environments.
- Collaborating in the development of cloud native solutions for European e-Infrastructure projects like the EOSC Life.
You will have a Bachelor's degree or higher in computer science or a related discipline, or have equivalent experience. The role would be suitable for a Dev/Ops engineer who has interest in automation and experience with CI/CD and scientific pipelines in cloud environments (GCP and AWS). Development skills in Python and Bash are also required.
As the role will involve liaising with different groups and users, it is essential that you have excellent communication, both written and verbal, and interpersonal skills in the English language. You should be able to pay attention to detail, demonstrate solid problem solving skills and have experience and ability to work on a high quality basis. You will also demonstrate proactiveness, with a willingness to take on new challenges and to learn new skills - including cloud qualifications where relevant.
