Nature of the tasks
- Architect and implement secure, interoperable solutions using standard frameworks and design patterns, integrating application and infrastructure to achieve scalability and efficiency.
- Develop robust, vendor-agnostic data platforms for AI and machine learning workloads, optimising multi-cloud environments for performance and flexibility. Design of structured MLOps pipelines automating and streamlining the models’ lifecycle, from development to serving.
- Design security architectures that protect infrastructure and applications, aligning with risk management strategies and regulatory data protection and security standards.
- Continuously assess and optimise system performance and scalability using advanced metrics and predictive analytics.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including AI developers, business analysts, and IT operations, to ensure architecture aligns with business objectives and technological capabilities.
- Establish CI/CD pipelines to support rapid application development and deployment in dynamic environments, utilising infrastructure-as-code and configuration management tools.
- Ensure seamless system integration and cross-platform compatibility through strategic API design, interoperability testing, and continuous benchmarking.
Specific expertise and technologies
- Expertise in containerisation and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes for scalable application deployment.
- Expertise in network architecture design, particularly integrating distributed systems with hybrid cloud solutions and including management of network policies at cluster level.
- Significant experience with managing and optimising data-intensive distributed systems for processing, querying and storing.
- Comprehensive experience with relational and non-relational databases, optimising them for high-volume transaction processing (e.g., Oracle, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, MongoDB).
- Proficiency with advanced monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana to enhance infrastructure monitoring and real-time alerting.
- Experience with advanced load balancing solutions and caching technologies (e.g. Redis) to support high-traffic applications.
- Knowledge of security and vulnerability scanning tools (e.g., OWASP, SonarQube), implementing secure coding practices including robust encryption and identity management.
- Profound knowledge of version control systems like Git and integration platforms such as Jenkins, GitLab CI.
- Proficiency in distributed streaming and message queue technologies such as Kafka and RabbitMQ to efficiently manage data flows and support scalable data processing architectures.
- Proficiency in using infrastructure-as-code like Terraform and AWS CloudFormation.
- Good knowledge of the GitOps framework and tools that follow its prescription to manage deployments and achieve the desired application state (e.g., ArgoCD)
- Familiarity with configuration management tools like Ansible for comprehensive system administration.
- Familiarity with AI-powered code assistants (e.g., Amazon Kiro, GitHub Copilot) for accelerating coding processes and enhancing developer productivity.
- Good knowledge of European Commission grant management ecosystem (eGrants) would be an asset.
Education
- EQF Level 6 or higher in a relevant field such as Computer Science, Information Technology, or Systems Engineering.
Skills
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Strong organisational and time-management skills.
- Strong team spirit and experience working effectively within a collaborative team.
- Capability of integration in an international/multi-cultural environment.
- Excellent communication skills to articulate complex technical concepts.
- Attention to detail in infrastructure design and well-structured documentation.
- Ability to write clean, efficient, and maintainable code.
