Job Description

The BLISS team of 5 software engineers within the Beamline Control Unit (BCU) is responsible for the development of BLISS, the new ESRF experiments control system. From 2019 to 2022, BLISS will evolve from the development stage to the integration on the 42 ESRF experimental stations (beamlines).

As a proficient Python developer, you are expected to produce clean and reusable code, with testing being an integral part of your every-day routine. Rise to the challenge: this mission consists of joining the effort to finalize the BLISS development, and participating in the deployment of the new system on the beamlines.

Your responsibilities will range from designing, developing, writing automated tests, debugging, writing documentation and deploying BLISS with other members of the team. BLISS development is organised around Agile principles and follows the Scrum methodology, using collaborative tools like gitlab.

You will find yourself in a fulfilling international and interdisciplinary environment. The final goal is to help scientists to carry out the first experiments with BLISS.
