JOB DESCRIPTION:

We are looking to strengthen our development teams.

This research draws on large, rich, and heterogeneous humanities data collections and carves its place in the evolving (European) research infrastructures. We welcome applications from research software engineers who can help us to manage data about millions of entities and their multi-faceted views found in museums, libraries, and archives.
Typically, you will be working with datasets of an historical or linguistic nature. This leads to a high degree of diversity, ranging from unstructured blobs of text to highly structured personalia and everything in between. These datasets are valuable research assets and need to be safely stored, curated and made accessible, which all are within the responsibility of our team. We often also build the frontend to create and serve the data to the generic public or the scientific community. This makes our work span the full stack from storage to browser.

SKILLS WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• Frontend: React, CSS, browser-based JavaScript/TypeScript
• Backend: Python and/or Java and JavaScript/TypeScript
• Data management using a wide range of DBMSs, e.g., PostgreSQL, MariaDB, NOSQL, triple stores
• Linked Data/Semantic Web experience will be highly valuable
• Fluency in English (Dutch is appreciated)
• and some other things that are useful but can be learned: Docker, Kubernetes, React, html, git, bash, and Linux in general
  Formally you will be part of the structured data team, in a department made up of a group of circa 30, generally awesome, international, smart people. You will work together with humanities and social science researchers from the three Humanities Cluster institutes.
