Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) | Site Reliability Engineer / DevOps | Copenhagen, Denmark | €91k p.a. exempt from Danish income tax | ONSITE, VISA

GBIF is an international organization and open-data research infrastructure, whose purpose is to make scientific biodiversity data available to all on the Internet. Several research papers are published every day citing this data.

See https://www.gbif.org/ for our public biodiversity data platform, including its open-data API built using a Hadoop cluster and Elasticsearch. All our code is open source and on GitHub.

We're looking for an SRE/DevOps engineer who can upgrade and improve our data cluster and other infrastructure. The ideal candidate will also be comfortable working on the Java applications running on the cluster.

The salary is €91k per annum, and as an intergovernmental organization it's exempt from Danish income tax. Staff are recruited on the broadest possible geographical basis, and a visa is no problem at all.

Wow never heard of GBIF, but you seem to offer useful data. Am I correct that you are in essence providing georeferenced animal/plant population data across the globe in mostly CC license?

So, good luck!


That's essentially correct.
