We’re home to the UK’s synchrotron light source – a giant microscope producing beams of light 10 billion times brighter than the sun. Probing the structure and composition of matter, our work drives innovation in everything from vaccines to nanotech. At Diamond we are currently undertaking a major upgrade of the facility, known as Diamond-II. Diamond-II will combine a new machine and new beamlines with a comprehensive series of upgrades to optics, detectors, sample environments, sample delivery capabilities and computing, which will ultimately generate an even more brilliant light source at a higher energy. Software helps to enable the world-leading science performed at Diamond. Our software systems facilitate operations at all levels, including the low-level control of synchrotron and beamline hardware, the planning, execution and monitor of experiments, data archiving and retrieval, data processing and visualisation, the application for beamtime, and capture of remote experiment plans and samples. Our software engineers work alongside our scientists to develop innovative and robust solutions to keep Diamond at the forefront of scientific research. About The Role We now have an opportunity for a Software Engineer to join us to develop and support cutting-edge scientific software. Effective information management is essential for Diamond to conduct its critical work; providing scientists the tools to turn theoretical science into practical and often life-changing discoveries. A critical component of Diamond's software architecture is its Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and Data Archive. Diamond’s LIMS is a web application that captures the full lifecycle of experiments at Diamond. LIMS enables scientists from all over the world to plan and prepare their experiments, facilitates integration and interoperability with data analysis tools and provides visualisation of experimental activity and results. The Data Archive provides long-term storage of data produced and analysed at Diamond, and underpins the Open and FAIR Data program, where data will be made publicly accessible to enable future scientific research. Diamond is developing a new LIMS system to meet the needs of the whole facility, and the demands of new science unlocked by the upgrade to Diamond-II, so we are seeking to develop a new, universal, solution leveraging service-oriented architecture. Diamond is also developing a new data archiving system, using cloud container technologies to meet the increased data flow requirements of Diamond-II and to fulfil the Open and FAIR Data project. These projects make for an ideal opportunity for you to grow and develop with a world leading science facility or utilise the skills and experience you already have in this rewarding role. You will be working alongside a bright and motivated team in an open and collaborative environment. You will be required to interact with Diamond scientists and translate their specifications for scientific capabilities into software requirements. You will also participate in international collaborations within this domain, developing software that can support other facilities and synchrotrons within the collaboration. Applicants will be considered at either Software Engineer or Senior Software Engineer level, depending on the strength of your skills, experience and qualifications. About You Successful candidates have a degree level qualification in science, engineering, mathematics, computer science or equivalent experience and be able to demonstrate experience in the full Software Development Lifecycle along with knowledge and experience in the following area’s: A technical software environment. Developing backend functionality and applications in Python. Building REST or GraphQL APIs. Unit test frameworks such as Pytest. SQL databases such as PostgreSQL. Agile practices (specifically Scrum). Working across multiple projects and systems, and interface with other software development and IT teams delivering other science services. Working with and contributing to open-source software to meet the needs of user communities. JavaScript skills with experience with JavaScript web application frameworks such as React or Angular would be an advantage. You will also have good commutations skills and the ability to interpret scientific needs into clear software requirements, as well as an interest in supporting scientific stakeholders coupled with strong analytical and communication skills. We use an open-source development model in a not-for-profit institution, so knowledge of GitHub / GitLab would be useful. The remote systems provide the shop window to all services, so a passion for UX and quality are essential.
