Are you interested in creating software solutions that will enable a streamlined workflow for using the European infrastructure for supercomputing in the areas of AI development for research, public administration and industry?
Do you see yourself as an enabler that can make it easy to use the huge amounts of available research and company data in the development AI models? Do you wish to work with one of the biggest supercomputers in Europe and be part of the journey toward new and clever ways of using data?
We are looking for skilled system software developers with an interest in developing system infrastructure to help us reach our goal of making AI and HPC easily accessible to all researchers at the Danish universities, public administration and industry. The position is either in Aarhus or in Lyngby at DeiCs offices.
At DeiC you will play a pivotal role in building the Danish contributions to the infrastructure on a European scale. Working closely with a multidisciplinary team. You will ensure researchers and analysts access to state-of-the-art AI and HPC and easy use of data sets to maximize the impact AI development.
You will be working as part of the LUMI AI Factory with a team of people from Finland, Norway, Estland, Poland, the Czech Republic and Denmark in the biggest AI Factory in Europe, and in collaboration with the other AI factories in Europe.
The job
You will join the HPC department within DeiC working on a diverse set of tasks – matched to your skill set and interests – related to building infrastructure and enabling easy access to shared datasets and moving them to the compute resources. The goal is to assist users in accessing and managing the data they need for their projects, including data already available in LUMI and LUMI-AI, data from European Common Data Spaces or other external sources, and the users' own data.
Examples of typical tasks include:
- Developing system services for advanced infrastructure to move data between different facilities.
- Designing, developing and maintaining software solutions that are used on a large network of data sources in Europe. Creating and maintaining documentation, tutorials, and knowledge-based articles to facilitate the usage of the developed services and infrastructure.
- Collaborating with the other departments in DeiC to developing new services regarding data and data movement.
- Taking part in national and international projects with the overall goal of enabling the AI uptake in Denmark.
- Coordinating and developing services in collaboration with stakeholders in Denmark and Europe.
- Collaborating with other partners in the LUMI AI Factory to understand the needs with regards to enabling a broader usage of datasets.
The HPC department works in close collaboration with the Quantum Computing and Data Management Departments within DeiC ensuring consistency in our solutions for processing data according to best practices on FAIR data, AI, HPC and quantum computers.
