DevOps/ Service Developer for Sweden AI Factory, NAISS

NAISS, the national academic infrastructure for supercomputers in Sweden, provides large-scale computing resources, storage, and data services for academic users. NAISS is a center formation with Linköpings universitet as host and has 12 partner universities across Sweden.

Do you want to work at the forefront of Europe's AI development and contribute to building the next generation of AI infrastructure?

We are now seeking up to 4 DevOps / Service Developers who want to join us in building and driving the services that help Sweden and Europe advance AI development within a range of areas including life sciences, materials science, autonomous systems, general engineering and tools, and other emerging application areas. The services offer a unique opportunity to work together with researchers, companies, public organizations, and AI specialists within EuroHPC's AI Factory initiative, as well as to make it easy for users to access data and AI solutions while ensuring that laws and regulations are complied with.

About the job

As a DevOps / Service Developer, you will deploy and operate world-leading services for AI and data, and help users and projects apply AI methods, tools, and workflows to real-world challenges. Depending on your background and interests, you may contribute within one or more application areas.

Your duties

We are a small team, and everyone is expected to contribute where needed according to their ability. It is very possible that you may "own" an area and become the primary decision-maker/responsible party for it, but you must also be able to document and explain it to your colleagues. We work according to a standard development cycle, and code review is an important part of the work.

We work extensively with scripting and code-based infrastructure, and you must be able to think like a programmer and take things like algorithmic complexity into account. It is also common to need to drill down into the source code of various tools to figure out what is going wrong, so being able to read and understand code is important. When we need to build services, we choose modern, maintainable languages that help us avoid mistakes. We do not primarily develop new software, but prefer to glue existing things together as much as possible. As part of the recruitment process, you will be asked to demonstrate your ability practically. You should also be prepared to discuss code in some form during a potential interview.

Some of the technologies we work with include virtualization, containerization and orchestration, block, object, and file storage, relays, configuration management, scripting, continuous integration, and infrastructure-as-code.

We do not expect you to have worked with all of these, but you should have a solid foundation in Unix/Linux and some knowledge of various forms of networking and security.

About you

We are looking for someone who has:

A Master's degree in AI, computer science, data science, engineering, or a related field. Demonstrable practical experience in service development, Linux DevOps, and in developing and operating services for sensitive data, for example within highly regulated areas such as finance or health. The ability to apply technical knowledge to real-world problems. Experience from research, industry, public sector, or innovation projects. The ability to work in interdisciplinary and collaborative environments. The ability to write and maintain system documentation. Good communication skills in English and the ability to collaborate with different target groups.

The following are merits:

Experience with FOSS, technologies such as Linux, OpenShift Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, continuous deployment and integration (CI/CD), and experience with agile working methods. Experience with HPC, cloud-based environments, data platforms, or scientific computing environments. Experience in one or more relevant areas such as life science, materials science, autonomous systems, AI in the public sector, or industrial AI. Experience in developing educational material, providing user support, or working in collaborative projects. Experience with European research infrastructures, EuroHPC, or international collaborations. Interest in AI technologies and their practical application. Good knowledge of Swedish.
