Renowned for its high-quality education, groundbreaking fundamental research, and commitment to translating innovations into practice, ETH Zurich stands as a beacon of knowledge. The Scientific Software and Data Management (SSDM) division, part of Scientific IT Services (SIS) within our central IT, develops software and data management solutions for research projects across the ETH domain, creating a stimulating, flexible, and family-friendly working environment in Zurich and Basel.
The Scientific Software and Data Management (SSDM) team, integral to ETH's central IT department, is composed of software engineers from various backgrounds dedicated to developing software that supports research projects across a wide array of ETH's academic disciplines, including biology, physics, engineering, economics, architecture, and more. Due to our expanding portfolio of projects, we are seeking a versatile software engineer to lead or contribute to various initiatives.
In this role, you will collaborate on a Horizon-funded project, EOSC Data Commons, alongside fellow developers within SIS and partner institutions to construct a framework for discovering, sharing, and executing data and algorithms in a distributed environment.
