Context And MissionThe Life Sciences Department from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center is establishing a new team on Health Data Research within the Life Sciences Department that will collaborate closely with the INB/ELIXIR-ES unit. The Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB) is the major bioinformatics platform in Spain, and the Spanish representative in the European bioinformatics infrastructure ELIXIR. INB is fully oriented to complete a solid integration with International Bioinformatics and Health Research Data infrastructures, including the ELIXIR consortium.This new team has its focus on the massive amount of health data available for research in the last years and the recent efforts at national and European levels to tap on those data to benefit patients. Using such data helps scientists to understand diseases and health conditions better and provides new ways of identifying patients at higher risk. It also helps to prevent illness and to provide better treatments. This, in turn, improves the health services' efficiency, optimising their resources where they matter the most.Key DutiesData processing pipelinesData model transformations and standardisation (OMOP, etc.)Components of a multi-modal distributed databaseQuery, model and deploy with PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQETL with SQL and PythonDesign, implement & test microservicesIntegrate our developments with external APIsDevelopment and testing of our core products and frameworksTesting, logging, measuring and alerting of the deployed servicesMonitor the existing metrics, analyse data, and collaborate with other teams in an effort to identify and implement system and process improvementsEnsure that the collected data is of high quality and optimal for use across the team and the research community at largeOversee activities of the junior team members, ensuring proper execution of their duties and alignment with business vision and objectivesDocument and publish data and software under FAIR standardsRequirementsEducationMSc in computer science, data science or bioinformatics.Essential Knowledge and Professional ExperienceExperience in data engineering methodologies.Programming: SQL and Python will be your main tools of the trade.Be comfortable with container development with Docker and/or Kubernetes.Work experience in a collaborative software development environment (git, CI/CD, documentation, etc).Additional Knowledge and Professional ExperienceKnowledge and experience in biomedical research.Experience with good data management practices (FAIR data, data quality, etc.).Fluency in spoken and written English.CompetencesCapacity to explore new technologies.Good communication and presentation skills.Ability to work both independently and within a team.ConditionsThe position will be located at BSC within the Life Sciences Department.We offer a full-time contract (37.5h/week), a good working environment, a highly stimulating environment with state-of-the-art infrastructure, flexible working hours, extensive training plan, restaurant tickets, private health insurance, support to the relocation procedures.Duration: Open-ended contract due to technical and scientific activities linked to the project and budget duration.Holidays: 23 paid vacation days plus 24th and 31st of December per our collective agreement.Starting date: asap.El anuncio original lo puedes encontrar en Kit Empleo:https://www.kitempleo.es/empleo/115779743/la-509-research-data-engineers-re1-re2-biomedical-data-barcelona/?utm_source=html
