The role involves evaluating new technologies, tools or applications from open-source communities, as well as actively participating in the daily operations of the services. A significant part of the work includes contributing to technical documentation and supporting teams within the CSC.  

CSC’s sensitive data management services are developed through international collaborations. The role includes occasional travel and active participation in technical meetings, virtual calls, and collaborative documentation processes.

What we expect

·       strong, hands-on experience in Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps

·       expertise in Linux and familiarity with deployment and automation tools such as Helm and Flux

·       expertise in authentication and authorization solutions (e.g., OAuth, OIDC, Shibboleth, JWT), as well as networking, storage, and databases

Successful applicants should be able to demonstrate practical skills in working with these tools, resolving configuration and deployment issues, as well as developing applications in Python or Go. 

We are looking for a candidate with a master’s degree in computer science or equivalent work experience who enjoys working as part of a team. Strong verbal and written communication skills in English are essential. Close collaboration with CSC staff members, such as product and service owners, is key to understanding needs, setting priorities, and delivering improvements to CSC’s sensitive data management services.

What we offer

We offer an environment that encourages innovation, challenges your existing expertise, and supports your professional growth and international networking. In return, we expect strong personal skills in time management, handling competing deadlines, and prioritizing effectively to resolve production issues with minimal service impact. 

CSC is committed to open-source development. All technical staff are expected to produce high-quality, maintainable, and well-documented code, develop reusable software, and share their work to benefit the broader community. 

At CSC, our employees enjoy a wide range of benefits designed to support both their professional and personal lives.
