Springer Nature is one of the most prestigious international scientific publishers of books, journals and electronic media today, with subsidiaries and representatives all over the world, employing more than 13,000 people world-wide. Our publications range from medicine to all fields of life sciences, from mathematics to engineering. Wherever scientific research is carried out, highly qualified experts count themselves among Springer Nature's authors, including a large number of Nobel-prize winners.
Our Data Team located in Heidelberg, Germany, is looking for a Software Engineer(all levels considered) who is capable, talented, engaged and passionate about working with data that comes in a multitude of different flavours for a wide range of different use-case scenarios. We are a multi-disciplinary team working in a fast-paced and collaborative environment, who value honest opinion and open debate. By building solutions that transform the traditional publishers’ document perspective into a world of knowledge, we work on the forefront of Springer Nature’s digital-first strategy.
Why you should apply:
You have a strong problem-solving mind-set and a feeling for the value of data, you are passionate in your work, you love to share ideas with your team and can pick the right tool for the job? Then you should become a key member of Springer Nature’s database-product delivery teams! You will have plenty of options to contribute to the company, keep up to date with technology trends and engage in life-long learning to grow personally. As long as we deliver, our team has considerable autonomy how we get things done. So you and your skills can make a real difference.
What you can expect:
• Create and deliver complex but flexible software solutions to build & improve automated processes for acquiring, processing, integrating and delivering content data – focussing on scientific facts databases in a science-oriented environment.
• Work with and extend our pool of latest technologies and practices, currently including Docker containers, micro-services, DevOps, SQL and NoSQL data stores, etc.
• Influence every step of the delivery process and take ownership for what you build.
• We build our software incrementally, iteratively and continuously, so you’ll be able to see new work go live almost immediately.
• Contribute to project priorities and find innovative ways to meet objectives in an agile and informal set-up. If something needs to be done, we do it. If we face a challenge, we address it. If something isn’t working, we change it.
• Collaborate and work closely with data engineers, domain experts, other development teams and product owners to deliver value to both the business and our customers.
• An exciting, diverse and international environment.
What we expect:
• Software-development experience (graduates are also welcome to apply).
• Background in at least one object-oriented programming language (e.g. Java, Scala).
• Familiarity with Linux-based environments incl. typical scripting solutions (e.g. Bash, Python).
• Experience in working with data-storage solutions of different kinds.
• Fondness and “a touch” for structured data.
• Knowledge about common tools and practices (incl. version control, code testing, build tools).
• A team player with good communication skills and proven ability to work self-organised.
Data skills that we value but don’t consider mandatory:
• Familiarity with semantic web technologies and standards (e.g. Linked Data, RDF, SPARQL).
• Knowledge about state-of-the-art tools and approaches for doing data analytics.
• Experience with data-integration techniques.
Please note that your CV isn’t all that counts, neither how well you match all of our requirements. What we value most is personality, motivation and a bright mind. We ask that you be able to help us solve our problems and meet our challenges. We are interested in what you can do. If you believe that you can help us, talk to us! If we agree, we'll invite you to come in and show us how you work. We encourage you to learn all you can about us and be open-minded for discussions and hands-on sessions during your interviews, because that's what our interviews are all about: doing the work and solving the problems. We promise not to waste your time.
