It is renowned for its excellent education, cutting-edge fundamental research, and initiatives that translate new knowledge and innovations directly into practice. The Scientific Software and Data Management (SSDM) group, part of Scientific IT Services (SIS) within central IT, develops software and data management solutions for research projects across the ETH domain, providing a stimulating, flexible, and family-friendly work environment. Our offices are located in Zurich and Basel.
SSDM is part of ETH's central IT department, comprising software engineers from diverse backgrounds. We develop software to support research projects spanning various academic departments, including biology, physics, engineering, economics, architecture, and more. Due to a growing portfolio of projects, we are looking for a versatile software engineer to lead or contribute to several projects.
You will work on the Horizon-funded project, EOSC Data Commons, collaborating with other developers within SIS and partner institutions to build a framework for discovering, sharing, and executing data and algorithms in a distributed environment. The primary technology used will be Python, though knowledge of Scala and TypeScript is a plus.

We offer a stimulating, multicultural working environment with colleagues from various disciplines. There are no rigid job roles or extensive bureaucracy; you will have the opportunity to design and architect solutions while working with some of the best scientists in their fields.
