Senior Research Infrastructure Developer

The UCL Centre for Advanced Research Computing (ARC) is UCL’s new institute for infrastructure and innovation in digital research - the supercomputers, datasets, software and people that make computational science and digital scholarship possible. We are an innovative hybrid: a professional services department that delivers reliable and secure infrastructure and services to UCL research groups, and a laboratory for research and innovation in the application of advanced computational and data intensive research methods, working in partnership with academics from all fields.

We are a home for the research technology professionals - research software engineers, HPC systems engineers, dev-ops specialists, data engineers, data scientists and data stewards - who support and collaborate in the delivery of UCL research.

About the role

ARC roles can be both research roles, contributing to the scholarly life of the university, carrying out research and teaching, and professional service roles, delivering shared capabilities and following professional best practice.

You will gain the opportunity to join ARC’s community of staff scientists and research technology professionals, both delivering the services and systems which make data and compute-intensive research possible, and discovering and innovating new tools, practices, and systems in this field.

Our positioning as a hybrid of a research institute and service centre means these activities will be synergistic. Playing critical role developing and maintaining our technical or domain specialisms. This could mean building on your background to remain close to the research life of one or more of the academic disciplines we collaborate with (e.g. via honorary membership of an academic department) or engaging closely with the technology professional communities related to a platform, tool, or language that you focus on.
