Jobs: Zarr software engineer (m/f/x)

Working student onlyPotsdam, Germany

We develop image analysis tools that help scientists work with peta-scale microscopy images. Our WEBKNOSSOS platform is a leading tool for sharing and collaborating on image data of that scale. 
It is built on the open-source Zarr file format for high-performance, cloud-ready access to peta-scale datasets of n-dimensional data. We are strong believer in the open-source community and are an active driver in the development of Zarr file format. As part of the steering council, we help shape new features and ideas and actively drive the development of several open-source Zarr implementations and integration in Java and Python eco systems.
At scalable minds, you will build and maintain Zarr libraries and integrate them with popular tools that help scientists make breakthrough discoveries with their massive image datasets. while honing your robust software engineering skills. You will be working in a supportive, engineering-driven and fun team environment. If you are interested, please contact us at .moc.sdnimelbalacs%40olleh Please include a brief application and your CV.
