The smooth functioning of the MAX IV synchrotron facility relies on the efficient and flexible operation of the computing infrastructure. Experiments located at the MAX IV beamlines collect data for scientific analysis. This data sets need to be stored and made accessible to compute resources.
For this, the MAX IV IT Infrastructure team is operating a tiered high-performance storage system designed for high I/O rates, large volumes and high availability. The challenges to the system design come from the ever-increasing data rates provided by new generations of detector systems, as well as the raising capabilities of the HPC infrastructure and scientific applications.
The successful candidate will participate, as part of the MAX IV Infrastructure Team, in the operation and scale-out of our IBM Spectrum Scale installation, the design, deployment and operation of the upcoming long-term storage facility, and play an important role in the continuing design and development of the system as needed to satisfy future requirements. We provide the opportunity to work within a small but competent team, in a challenging environment and with state-of-the art high performance systems from leading vendors.
The successful candidate is expected to actively contribute to the future development, and be able to follow and analyse the trends and new developments in storage technology. Key tasks for this position are centred on the data archive, but include also the solid state, HDD and tape-based tiers of the system.
