Generative AI Developers (m/f/d) – GWDG

The GWDG is seeking two Generative AI Developers to join an interdisciplinary team of HPC experts in the working group “Computing” (AG C) with a regular working week of 39 hours (100%). Remuneration is in accordance with the collective agreement for the German public service (federal government); depending on qualifications, the position will be grade E 13. The position is suitable for part‑time work and initially limited till 31 May 2028. The GWDG strives for long‑term cooperation, with the possibility of a doctorate.

The Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Göttingen (GWDG) is the university computing centre for the Georg‑August‑Universität Göttingen and an IT competence centre for the Max Planck Society. The provision of high‑performance HPC systems has been a core task for over 40 years. In 2020 the University of Göttingen / GWDG was accepted as one of eight computing centres in the National High‑Performance Computing (NHR) network. The GWDG operates the HLRN‑IV system "Emmy", one of the most powerful computers in the world.

As a national super‑computing centre, the GWDG offers technical support to researchers and students from various science domains using sophisticated computer codes, including earth‑system science, life science and engineering. It also participates in national and international research projects, and collaborates with the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), the German Climate Computing Centre (DKRZ) and the Institute for Advanced Simulation Jülich (IAS‑JSC).

In the AI Service Centre for Sensitive and Critical Infrastructure (KISSKI) we have created a number of AI‑based services that offer high levels of security and privacy because they are processed on our own hardware. The GWDG and the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science together with the Campus Institute Data Science (CIDAS) provide a stimulating research environment in Scientific Computing, with opportunities to conduct research at the intersection of applied computer science, high‑performance computing, AI and machine learning.

Responsibilities

• Further development of our AI services (including Chat AI, Voice AI and Image AI)
• Further development of the SAIA Platform (Scalable Artificial Intelligence Accelerator)
• Implementation and optimisation of inference jobs on our HPC cluster
• Support for scientists and companies in the development of AI services
• Representation at workshops and conferences
• Design appropriate solutions to address customer use cases building upon our existing AI infrastructure
• Document solutions for internal knowledge sharing and customer handover

Requirements

• Successfully completed an academic university degree (master’s or bachelor’s) in computer science or related fields
• Very good programming skills in a high‑level programming language, primarily Python
• Very good Linux skills (e.g. Bash scripting, Git, containers)
• Good knowledge of software engineering (security, testing)
• Good knowledge of DevOps (e.g. GitLab, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, pytest)
• Good knowledge of databases (SQLModel, SQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite)
• Experience with web development (HTTP, FastAPI, HTML, JavaScript)
• Basics in generative AI (e.g. LLMs, diffusion models, and use with Pytorch or Tensorflow)
• Experience with the use of HPC systems desirable (e.g. SLURM)
• Excellent analytical skills
• Excellent problem‑solving skills
• Very good English skills
• Willingness to travel on business

Desirable

• Ability to communicate technical concepts to non‑technical customers
• Experience with customer‑facing technical roles
• Basics in agile software development (e.g. Kanban, Scrum)
• Experience with service‑oriented user support
• Exposure to HPC, scientific computing or data‑intensive domains
• Intermediate knowledge of German

Our Offer

• Flexible working hours and opportunity for mobile working
• A modern, diverse and exceptional work environment with close proximity to academia and research at the intersection of several innovative technology sectors
• An interesting, versatile job in a large, internationally operating IT competence centre
• Collaboration in a competent and committed team
• Qualification and further development of your skills
• Social benefits of the public sector
