Job Opportunity: Research Software Engineer for ATRIUM

ATRIUM is seeking an experienced research software engineer to support the technical integration of the project, and is recruiting via DARIAH-EU.

ATRIUM (“Advancing FronTier Research in the Arts and Humanities”) aims to exploit and strengthen complementarities between leading European infrastructures in order to provide vastly improved access to state-of-the-art services available to researchers across countries, languages, domains and media, building on a shared understanding and interoperability principles established in the SSHOC cluster project and other previous collaborations. The role would support ATRIUM’s work plan from a technical perspective, including multiple interrelated lines of action across data and metadata harmonisation, workflows, and service integration.

Principal duties:

  • Testing cloud infrastructures such as EOSC and Galaxy, mainly by deploying ATRIUM workflows there;
  • Integrating existing catalogues, especially the SSH Open Marketplace , with OpenAIRE as a prerequisite for broader EOSC integration;
  • Develop tooling (scripts, dashboards) to explore, compare and visualise catalogue data across the European A&H landscape;  
  • Enhancing metadata and vocabulary harmonisation across ATRIUM catalogues to improve semantic interoperability;
  • Contributing to the technical integration of services, catalogues and workflows across DARIAH;
  • Supporting the development, testing and maintenance of interoperability solutions, APIs and data pipelines that facilitate the exchange and reuse of data and services. 

The ideal candidate:

  • Holds a higher education degree in computer science, information science, digital humanities or equivalent qualification;
  • Has experience working on technical integration, preferably in the context of research infrastructures or large-scale digital platforms;
  • Has experience with cloud infrastructures and workflow execution platforms, like Galaxy and/or EOSC; 
  • Has experience with metadata modeling, vocabulary harmonisation and semantic interoperability;
  • Has experience developing scripts, APIs, or data-processing pipelines to support integration across distributed systems; 
  • Has the ability to work independently as well as part of a team;
  • Is fluent in English (spoken & written); knowledge of German and/or another European language would be an asset.
