Software Developer - ( 24000025 )
Commitment & contract: Full-time employment
WHO WE ARE
At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society. Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our centers around Italy and two outer stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
IIT strongly believes that data organization, documentation and dissemination (even in an open manner when possible) became crucial to enable cutting-edge research, by enhancing research reproducibility and achieving effectiveness in the long term.
Therefore, IIT has been launching a Research Data Management (RDM) institutional plan aimed at unlocking the full potential of research data, as the main fuel to innovative data-driven scientific approaches.
The IIT strategic plan 2024-2029 has further strengthened IIT's commitment in the RDM field by confirming initiatives oriented to research-data driven and AI/ML data-ready.
This plan includes investments in three main directions: infrastructures and tools, policies and guidelines, and training and support.
Driven by this plan, IIT has been developing infrastructures to enable storage of large amounts of data, high-performance computing and preservation and sharing of research data:
* on one side, IIT has adopted an institutional repository available to IIT scientists to describe datasets with standard and rich metadata, preserve and share them following the European philosophy “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”
* on the other side IIT has been deploying a new enterprise-level on-premises storage infrastructure, consisting of 5 PB of usable backed-up storage space, decentralized across 14 IIT centers with centralized monitoring and management of data, metadata, and security
In this context, the hiring of a software developer is foreseen for the coming years.
