Context And Mission\nIn the framework of the Earth-Sciences department, the candidate will substantially improve the efficiency and productivity of numerical weather and climate simulations on high-performance computing platforms by supporting the end-to-end workflows of global Earth system modeling in HPC environments.\nThis will be obtained by improving and supporting: the development and operation of modeling workflows on state-of-the-art supercomputer systems, and the usability of these models and tools throughout the European HPC ecosystem.\nThe candidate will develop solutions for cross-cutting HPC challenges, in particular in the weather and climate domain, and help to develop existing workflow orchestration software.\nKey Duties\nCoordinate the BSC activities related to the technical development, testing, improvements, and documentation of the Autosubmit workflow engine.\nContribute to the Autosubmit development strategy by analyzing the user needs and learning from the benefits and disadvantages of the most used workflow. tools in the Earth Sciences domain.\nIdentify priorities, find gaps in the plan, and contribute to the short and medium-term strategy to ensure objectives are met.\nContribute to the convergence and efficiency of the different workflows running in the department.\nSupport the users inside and outside the BSC center by adding new features to the existing and new tools.\nMaintain the operational deployment on different HPC platforms.\nMaintain the software in Git and deploy it to the HPC module and to the PyPi repository, publishing both source code updates and documentation.\nFacilitate the adoption of the solutions developed through workshops and seminars in and out of the department.\nDisseminate the results obtained through peer-review publications and presentations at conferences.\nRequirements\nEducation\nHaving a Bachelor in Computer Science or related discipline.\nHaving a Master’s degree will be valued.\nEssential Knowledge and Professional Experience\nExcellent development skills in Python 3 and OOP, and experience with UNIX/LINUX environments and scripting languages (bash, …)\nExperience writing and maintaining tests (unit, functional, …)\nAdditional Knowledge and Professional Experience\nExperience in version control in a collaborative environment, including SVN or Git\nPrevious experience in scientific Python packages (Python Numpy, Scipy, …) will be valued\nPrevious experience in a scientific area related to the research position will be appreciated\nPrevious experience with workflow management solutions will be highly valued.\nGood documentation skills, applied to software code documentation for other developers, and also general documentation for users.\nFluency in English\nCompetences\nCapacity to interact and build strong relations with both Earth and Computer scientists\nExcellent problem-solving skills with a proactive approach\nWillingness and capacity to learn about new technologies and procedures\nCapacity to work and communicate in an international and interdisciplinary working environment\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills\nAbility to take initiative, prioritize and work under set deadlines and under pressure\nAbility to work both independently and within a team\nAbout\nBarcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC)\nAlso known as: BSC\nThe Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) is Spain's national supercomputing hub, advancing research in high-performance computing and fostering innovation across various scientific disciplines.\nSummary\nThe Barcelona Supercomputing Center seeks a Workflow Management Software Engineer to enhance numerical weather and climate simulations on HPC platforms, focusing on workflow development, usability, and collaboration.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3745,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced
