Full Stack Developer jobs in France

About the Role

We now have an opportunity for a software engineer within the DAQ group team that supports and develops software for Diamond’s Spectroscopy science group.

The work is primarily focused on developing the DAQ software for the planned SWIFT Diamond-II Flagship Beamline using the new Athena services under the technical supervision of the Spectroscopy DAQ team leader and in collaboration with the DAQ Core team. This is a significant and high priority long-term programme of work, comprising early feature prototyping and refinement, productionisation, integration and testing. Once SWIFT starts to accept users you will provide ongoing support and extension of the DAQ capabilities. You will also be required to work with your teammates to provide support to the existing Spectroscopy beamlines and assist with their migration from GDA to Athena.

As a software engineer in the DAQ Group, you will work alongside other software engineers supporting a range of experimental techniques and developing DAQ capabilities in an open and collaborative environment. You will be required to interact with scientists and translate their specifications for scientific capabilities into software requirements.

You will liaise with controls, data analysis, and information management engineers to put these requirements into action. You will collaborate with the beamline scientists and DAQ Core team members to deliver SWIFT’s DAQ features using the new Athena services and provide insight to the Core team to help them refine Athena’s generic capabilities. You may also participate in international collaborations within this domain, sharing best practices and supporting other facilities and synchrotrons within the collaboration.

Applicants will be considered at either Data Acquisition Software Engineer or Senior Data Acquisition Software Engineer level, depending on your skills, experience, and qualifications.

About You

You will be qualified to degree level in a STEM subject or equivalent experience, with experience in the full Software Development Lifecycle, using a modern high-level language, and an understanding of good software design principles and usability considerations.

Experience working with large and complex codebases would be advantageous, as would familiarity with Python, Java, Spring, JMS message-oriented middleware, Java RMI, the HDF5 file format, the Eclipse RCP platform, REST, and Kubernetes.

You should demonstrate good communication, interpersonal, and analytical skills, with a personal interest or experience in science.
