Scientific Cloud Platform Developer The High-Energy Astrophysics Software Archive (HEASARC) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) seeks an experienced scientific systems developer/cloud engineer to fill a gap in our team. The first task is to develop and test ways of migrating some services to AWS, i.e., deploying complex, software- and CPU-heavy services on the cloud. The exploration includes both technical feasibility (software containerization, cloud data access, optimization, etc.) as well as cost. The second task is to support the Fornax science platform, which deploys a Jupyter stack on AWS. The HEASARC is responsible for the user's containerized software environment on this platform. This task includes developing and deploying JupyterLab extensions, installing 3rd party software, debugging existing interfaces, and solving issues that arise within the container or between the container and the AWS infrastructure (in collaboration with the cloud engineering team).
