Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology FIT
CALLING ALL FUTURE EXPERTS* IN FAIR DATA AND DATA DRIVEN SCIENCE! MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TALENTS AT FRAUNHOFER FIT IN AACHEN. JOIN OUR FAIR DATA AND DISTRIBUTED ANALYTICS GROUP AND WORK ON BUILDING FAIR DATA INFRASTRUCTURES. WE HAVE AN OPENING FOR A:
DATA ENGINEER* / SOFTWARE DEVELOPER* – DATA-BASED SERVICES
Fraunhofer is Europe’s largest application-oriented research organization. Our research efforts are geared entirely to people’s needs: health, security, communication, energy and the environment. As a result, the work undertaken by our researchers and developers has a significant impact on people’s lives. We are creative. We shape technology. We design products. We improve methods and techniques. We open up new vistas.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology FIT is an excellent partner for the human-centered design of our digital future. Being a driver of innovation, we provide guidance and shape the digital transformation of industry, environment and society. We work in an independent, scientifically informed and creative way.
Digitalization and data driven economy require new approaches and methods to improve data reusability. A particular challenge is to enable the seamless use of big distributed data resources by applications and analytic processes in a way that guarantees data owners’ sovereignty. For this purpose, Fraunhofer has developed the International Data Spaces (IDS) architecture and related approaches for distributed analytics and is contributing to the federated European data infrastructure GAIA-X.
Your tasks include
Your tasks will include developing new concepts and components of a data reuse framework for IDS that is aligned with the FAIR principles to make data “Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable” both for humans and machines. The position will have a research focus on applying persistent identifiers and knowledge graphs in the IDS infrastructure. Advanced data science and web technology will be transferred to innovative solutions for data management in research infrastructures and industry.
Your focus in this position will be to design and implement infrastructure components and supporting tools. You will be responsible for designing and developing a data reuse infrastructure to meet the growing demand of big data solutions to be deployed in distributed computing and cloud infrastructures at scale.
What we expect from you

- Knowledge of service-oriented software architecture (e. g., experience developing and consuming RESTful web services, consuming JSON and XML messages)
- Excellent programming skills in Java, Python or R
- Knowledge and practical experience in metadata management and database development (e. g., Spark SQL, NoSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, RDF, JSON)
- Knowledge of semantic technologies, ontologies and linked data
- Experience in infrastructure for different kind of data solutions (e. g., clustered and distributed computing, storage, data center networking)
- Familiar with identity management with security solutions such as LDAP, Keycloak, OIDC
- Knowledge and hands-on experience in Big Data tool stacks is preferable (e. g., Apache Big Data stack, Hadoop, Spark, Cloudera / Hortonworks)
- Target group-oriented presentation of project results to stakeholders such as customers and project partners
- Experience in teamwork, ideally in an industrial context, in changing teams and in projects with tight deadlines
- German and English language skills at level B1 or higher
