Software Architect for Data Access in Physics with Photons

Datum: 5 oktober, 2025 Tid: 23:59

Placering: DESY

Mer information

DESY-IT, in collaboration with photon science user groups at universities and partner facilities, is developing a new standardized approach to real-time, online access to photon science data. Our goal is to close existing standardization gaps and establish a sustainable data service at DESY, which will be rolled out to associated partners. To this end, we will provide freely available software libraries, integrated into established workflows and visualization tools to ensure intuitive usability. The service will be connected to the Helmholtz federated IT infrastructure and core services (HIFIS). With EuXFEL and BESSY Il (HZB) as associated partners, the service will be deployed across three facilities, advancing FAIR photon science data and strengthening collaboration and accessibility within the German and European research community.

About your role:

• You develop and maintain a high-performance API for real-time data access
• You integrate data processing modules and ensure standardized data delivery
• You integrate services with authentication and authorization infrastructure using Helmholtz-ID (OAuth2/OpenlD Connect)
• You containerize services and manage their deployment on Kubernetes
• You set up CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and logging integration, and infrastructure-as-code workflows (e.g. ArgoCD, Helm)
• You ensure scalability, reliability, and performance for large-scale data streaming systems
