Focus will be on developing and integrating enterprise web applications for CHPC staff and end-user researchers, with opportunities to work and train in a variety of other software and technical domains (see below). This is a hybrid in-office role, and some weekly in-office presence at CHPC is required., The Software Infrastructure team is responsible for a variety of software and data systems, from design and development to operations. You will work closely with other software engineers, sysadmins and research-computing professionals. Relevant software domains include but are not limited to: enterprise web applications and databases, command-line interfaces, version-control and software collaboration systems (git), observability and analytics, modern Linux systems, cloud-native software, high-performance computing, and scientific and research computing (including ML/AI). This is a primarily internal software-facing team that typically does not interact directly with server hardware, nor directly with end-user researchers, though opportunities may arise. In this frontend-focused role, however, direct interactions with researchers are expected during the development of end-user interfaces., This position requires technical proficiency that overlaps significantly with the above technologies and domains, specifically Python and/or Go. Strong communication skills are required. The role is expected to conduct work assignments of increasing complexity, in a timely manner, under moderate supervision with latitude for independent judgment.
