Context
STACK is a research group focusing on challenges related to the management and advanced usages of Utility Computing infrastructures (i.e. Cloud, Fog, Edge, and beyond).
This position is funded through OTPaaS, a project funded under the French PIA-4 framework “stratégie d’accélération Cloud” for a duration of 36 months with an overall budget of 56M€. The project targets the design and development of a complete software stack to administrate and use “Cloud to IoT” infrastructures.
Among all project partners, the STACK team is responsible for validating the overall software stack from a research perspective.
Expected work
Several members of the team will contribute code for the target software stack. Your role will be to:
-
ensure the good quality of the developed software (design, tests, CI/CD, integration, good practices)
-
help to integrate the contributions of the team together and with open source projects, possibly upstreaming open source contributions in the process
-
deploy and evaluate prototypes of the software stack on experimental platforms such as Grid’5000, using Enoslib to make these experiments reproducible
-
take part in relevant open-source working groups (OpenInfra, LF Edge, GAIA-X…)
Open source is a core value of the team: you will rely on open-source projects and will have the opportunity to contribute back to some of these projects. The team has a track record of contributing to large open source projects such as Openstack.
You will be part of a small and flexible team of engineers with frequent interactions, and where sharing knowledge is encouraged. However, you are still free to organize your work as you like.
Skills
A good practical knowledge of Git and Gitlab is mandatory.
Knowledge of one or more of the following projects will be appreciated: Ansible, Python, Gitlab CI, Grid’5000, Enoslib, Kubernetes, Nomad, Consul, Golang.
Curiosity, thinking outside the box and an interest for public research are appreciated.
A good level of written technical English is expected. Day-to-day communication can be done in either French or English.
