The DESY group "Information Technology" (IT) is participating in a variety of high profile national and European projects, evaluating new and innovative IT technologies. One of the key projects we are involved in is "EOSC Mesh", which aims to enhance the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) by enabling the offering of advanced scientific services accessible to researchers across Europe. This initiative brings together over 25 esteemed European scientific institutions, universities, and SMEs. The goal is to expand the network of EOSC nodes by adding to the interoperability of services and onboard new services to existing nodes for the to work in a decentralized manner. To realize this ambitious objective, we're seeking a scientist who possesses expertise in web technologies, cloud frameworks or web-based scientific services. Additionally, the ideal candidate should be driven to contribute to the development of these technologies within the evolving EOSC framework.
