You will work in an experienced SCRUM team and closely with a long-standing Product Owner from the field of molecular biology.

Your tasks

You are convinced that understanding the domain is a fundamental requirement for efficient and effective software development.

Together with an experienced team of Data Architects and Data Engineers, you will master the migration of a relational system into the newly designed data lakehouse. Your team will implement new or existing interfaces and data services and will later be responsible for both the backend and an end-user frontend. At the same time, your team ensures the smooth operation of the legacy system. By applying modern DevOps practices, you guarantee reliable and efficient software operations.

Your profile

• University degree in computer science or a comparable qualification
• Very good knowledge of C# (.NET Core) and Python
• Practical experience with distributed systems, ideally in an AWS cloud environment or with Docker and Kubernetes
• Practical experience with DataLake technologies, such as Databricks or AWS Athena and Apache Spark
• Practical experience in professional software development (e.g., dependency injection, mocking, TDD, CI/CD pipelines)
• Confident handling of relational databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle) and AWS-based technologies in general
• Proficient in Azure DevOps, Jira or GitLab, version control with GIT, and agile working methods (SCRUM)
• Good command of English and German required
