CropXR is a Dutch public-private research initiative focused on climate-resilient agriculture. Within CropXR, the Resilience Hub provides a central digital infrastructure for integrating and analysing experimental, phenotypic, and genomic, data from a broad range of academic and industrial research partners. The Resilience Hub is built at TU Delft in collaboration with SURF, the Dutch national research and education network, which provides cloud infrastructure, storage, and associated digital services for the academic and research community. To strengthen the technical foundation of the Resilience Hub, we are looking for a DevOps / Security Engineer who will help design, operate, and secure the platform infrastructure. The role focuses on ensuring that the system is reliable, scalable, and secure, while aligning with best practices for research data platforms. This position is part of the engineering team supporting CropXR's data infrastructure. You will: * Design, implement, and maintain the infrastructure supporting the Resilience Hub, primarily using services provided locally and through SURF. * Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines for reliable deployment of services. * Ensure security-by-design across infrastructure and services. * Manage and improve identity and access management (IAM), authentication, and authorization systems. * Work with SURF-provided services for compute, storage, networking, and platform integration, ensuring optimal use of the available research infrastructure. * Monitor system performance, reliability, and security, and implement alerting and incident response procedures. * Contribute to architectural decisions around scalability, cost efficiency, and maintainability. ## Related Videos - [We adopted DevOps and are Cloud-native, Now What?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/485-we-adopted-devops-and-are-cloud-native-now-what) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [JavaScript?
