We are looking for an Research engineer in Service development and operations at the AIDA Data Hub, belonging to the Department of Science and Technology,
based at the Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization, Linköping University Hospital.

The AIDA Data Hub research context within CMIV, AIDA, SciLifeLab, and Bigpicture is described separately below.

Topic for the position

A crucial requirement for development of cutting edge AI solutions is to have access to massive amounts of well-organized training data, which in the case of AIDA refers to medical images and related clinical data. The AIDA Data Hub works to increase availability of such data, for example by developing, integrating and operating cutting-edge secure and reliable services for processing and sharing sensitive personal data for research in collaboration with leading actors in Europe. AIDA and the AIDA Data Hub are in rapid expansion through data streams from national and international clinical sources, with strong synergies with developments in European initiatives such as Bigpicture.

Your future work assignments

The research engineer will be part of the AIDA Data Hub Scrum team, which is tasked with developing and operating services at the AIDA Data Hub, Bigpicture, and related efforts, and will collaborate closely with other national and international scrum teams to develop cutting-edge services for sensitive personal data for research. The position will also include dialogue with users and other stakeholders from academic institutions, companies and care providers, within and outside of Sweden.

A heavy focus will be on developing and operating services using cloud technologies that are in current widespread use, such as OpenStack, S3, Terraform, and Kubernetes, and on software development mostly in golang. Development and operation of some self-hosted services are also in scope, as is some software development in other programming languages such as Python.

Your qualifications

The position requires a Bachelor of Science degree or similar, in a computer science subject.

Professional experience in the IT domain, from industry, academia, and/or healthcare, is a very important factor in judging candidates. It is a strong merit to have experience from operating infrastructure services in secured or air-gapped environments. Experience from cross-functional and distributed development work in international teams is also meriting. Experience from research operations in a data-intensive computer science domain, and in particular work with analysis of large-scale biomedical data is a merit for this position, as is experience from AI applications.

The candidate should demonstrate skills in technical administration and management of IT services and applications.

The position requires excellent communication abilities, both spoken and written, in the English language. Such abilities also in the Swedish language are considered a very strong merit.
