Are you our new software developer who will boost research for scientists? 

Do you want to apply your software engineering skills to help exploiting the full capabilities of Sweden's new flagship laboratory? Are you interested in developing the next generation of data acquisition platform?

Then this is the right job for you!

In an international facility such as MAX IV you will meet open minded people from different perspectives. You will join a trusted and open team where continuous improvement and mentorship is part of our DNA.

You will have the opportunity to face new challenges of the synchrotron domain working on the data acquisition system for the very fast detector read out data stream, innovative data viewer, preprocessing and data storage. 

In addition, you will improve your technique and spread the knowledge on best practices of software development. By using agile and lean management you can stay focused on the software development. There will be good chances to get more insight into the scientific computing and analysis part of the project.

Tasks and Responsibilities

You will be responsible for:

  • Developing the scientific data acquisition platform for MAX IV such as detectors data stream, preprocessing, live view, data and metadata storage
  • Understanding and spreading the knowledge on data formats, data manipulation and on-the-fly processing
  • The use of Parallel processing techniques in order to profit from the dedicated cluster (container based)
  • Delivering live data visualization applications and other connectors for other data consumers
  • Automating the data curation
  • Participating in the team planning and resource estimation as well as improving the group infrastructure

Overall your job will roughly consist of 95% development software and 5% knowledge dissemination, either within the team or attending international conferences.
