The AI Factory is a European project accelerating AI adoption across industry sectors, particularly supporting SMEs and startups while strengthening the European innovation ecosystem. The AI Factory, which utilizes MareNostrum5's specialized AI partition, relies on the secure and efficient management, sharing, and analysis of diverse and often sensitive datasets, including public administration and health data. The Data Innovation Group designs and delivers the Data Services that support this ecosystem: Data as a Service, Data Discovery, Data Stewardship, Model and Dataset Publication, and Trusted Research Environments (TREs) for sensitive data. This role will contribute to the infrastructure and security work behind this service portfolio. The work covers three complementary areas: deployment and operation of TRE platforms, including the integration of an external certified TRE service, support for internally developed platforms, and a secure HPC environment on the MareNostrum5 AI partition; development and deployment of the group's internal platforms and tooling, such as a research data hub for dataset and model publication and HPC workflow automation services, which are being scaled from AI Factory use to center-wide services. This position provides an opportunity to build secure data infrastructure and research platforms at supercomputing scale, combining infrastructure automation, platform engineering, and information security practices, and supporting AI adoption across European public and private sectors. This project is funded by the European Union's Recovery and Resilience Facility, in accordance with Council Regulation (EU) 2020/2094 of 14 December 2020, and regulated by Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2021, in the context of the "BSC AI Factory" project. This project has received funding from the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 101234399 and Spain, Portugal, Romania and Türkiye. The JU receives support from the European Union's Horizon Europe Programme. It is also co-funded by the Spanish Ministry for Digital Transformation and the Civil Service and counts with the support of the Government of Catalonia. Key Duties * Contribute to the development, deployment, and operation of internal data platforms and tooling, including web-based services for dataset and model publication and workflow automation pipelines on HPC infrastructure. * Contribute to the development, deployment, and operation of TRE platforms and their supporting infrastructure, including virtualized environments, containerized services, and isolated HPC partitions. * Implement security controls across data services environments, including identity and access management, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit logging. * Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, deployment, and monitoring using infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices. * Integrate platforms with BSC institutional systems, in coordination with the Operations department (identity management, networking, monitoring, incident response). * Support secure data ingress and egress workflows, including staging areas, pseudonymization services, and output control tooling. * Provide technical support to researchers and AI Factory users working with the data services and TRE platforms. * Contribute to documenting architectures, procedures, and best practices for platform operations and secure data handling., The selection will be carried out through a competitive examination system ("Concurso-Oposición"). The recruitment process consists of two phases: * Curriculum Analysis: Evaluation of previous experience and/or scientific history, degree, training, and other professional information relevant to the position. - 40 points * Interview phase: The highest-rated candidates at the curriculum level will be invited to the interview phase, conducted by the corresponding department and Human Resources. In this phase, technical competencies, knowledge, skills, and professional experience related to the position, as well as the required personal competencies, will be evaluated. - 60 points. A minimum of 30 points out of 60 must be obtained to be eligible for the position. The recruitment panel will be composed of at least three people, ensuring at least 25% representation of women. In accordance with OTM-R principles, a gender-balanced recruitment panel is formed for each vacancy at the beginning of the process. After reviewing the content of the applications, the panel will begin the interviews, with at least one technical and one administrative interview. At a minimum, a personality questionnaire as well as a technical exercise will be conducted during the process. The panel will make a final decision, and all individuals who participated in the interview phase will receive feedback with details on the acceptance or rejection of their profile. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Top 6 Hackathons for Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/263-top-6-hackathons-for-developers-in-2023) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market)
