Job description: Research Software Developer / Information Engineer . At the Institute for Advanced Simulation - Materials Data Science and Informatics (IAS-9) at Forschungszentrum Jülich, the Metadata and Information Systems (MIS) team works at the intersection of scientific data management, research software engineering and semantic technologies. We develop information systems that make scientific data and information more usable, connected and accessible. A central part of this work is the Helmholtz Knowledge Graph (HKG), which connects metadata from research infrastructures across the Helmholtz Association. Our goal goes beyond building another research software system. We want to contribute to changing how scientific information infrastructures work — and ultimately how researchers share and use scientific data. We believe that lasting changes in scientific practice require infrastructure that connects currently isolated systems and makes better data and metadata practices easier and more valuable. The HKG is now moving from a research prototype towards a professionally operated and sustainable infrastructure. This creates an opportunity to shape its future while tackling problems for which there are no off-the-shelf solutions. We are looking for someone who wants to contribute to this journey and help build infrastructure wi
