About BSC

The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 1000 staff from 60 countries.

We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research. In instances of equal merit, the incorporation of the under-represented sex will be favoured.

We promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, fostering an environment where each and every one of us is appreciated for who we are, regardless of our differences.

If you consider that you do not meet all the requirements, we encourage you to continue applying for the job offer. We value diversity of experiences and skills, and you could bring unique perspectives to our team.

Context And Mission

The Earth Sciences Department at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) is looking for a junior research engineer to help build a growing ecosystem of AI agents that support the department's research, analysis and science communication activities. The successful candidate will take ownership of common agentic workflows and serve as a reference point for the development of new departmental AI agentic workflows. This involves bringing new workflows to production and supporting colleagues who use these tools in their day-to-day work.

The successful candidate will collaborate closely with senior machine learning engineers and researchers to deploy and maintain agent-based workflows on the BSC-CNS's cutting-edge infrastructure. They will also contribute to the design, development, and deployment of new agentic workflows, gaining hands-on experience across the entire agentic AI stack - from the orchestration and integration of LLM services to deployment, monitoring, evaluation, and continuous improvement.

This position combines deployment, development, and user support, making it an excellent opportunity to gain broad practical experience in applied AI. We welcome highly motivated early-career candidates who are passionate about agentic AI and eager to develop their skills. While extensive professional experience is not required, a solid technical foundation, curiosity, and a strong learning attitude are essential.

The position offers mentoring by senior engineers, access to cutting-edge HPC and AI infrastructure, a multidisciplinary research environment, and BSC-CNS staff benefits. This provides an excellent entry point for a career in applied artificial intelligence.

Key Duties

Deploy, operate, and monitor the department's existing AI agents and agentic workflows in production environments.
Develop new agentic workflows together with the team: from design and implementation to integration with LLM services and final deployment.
Collect user feedback, identify issues and improvement opportunities, and contribute to the continuous evolution of the workflows.
Monitor agent performance, troubleshoot failures, and ensure the continued operation of deployed agents as models, APIs, dependencies, and infrastructure evolve.
Document workflows and produce user guides and best-practice material for the different groups.
Contribute to internal knowledge sharing, including documentation, tutorials, and team presentations.

Requirements

Education
- Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or a related field.
Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience
- Solid programming skills in Python.
- Working knowledge of large language models (LLMs) and of their use through APIs, including prompting and structured outputs.
- Familiarity with at least one agentic framework or orchestration library (e.g., LangChain/LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen), or a demonstrated ability to learn them quickly.
- Basic knowledge of software deployment: version control with Git, containerization (Docker), and CI/CD concepts.
- Comfort working in Linux environments and with command-line tools.
- Good problem-solving skills and a strong willingness to learn.
- Good written and verbal English, including the ability to explain technical topics to non-expert colleagues.
Additional Knowledge and Professional Experience
- Knowledge about GPU hardware
- Experience in deploying agent systems at scale, including parallelization, configuration, and iterative monitoring and improvement of the configuration (cache, routing, etc)
- Hands-on experience building or integrating LLM-based applications or agents.
- Experience deploying software on cloud or HPC infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker Compose).
- Familiarity with evaluation techniques for LLM systems (automated evaluation, human-in-the-loop feedback).
- Participation in research projects, internships, or industry work involving AI or machine learning.
Competences
- Proactive, curious, and result-oriented work attitude, with a strong desire to learn.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
- Patience and empathy in supporting non-specialist users.
- Ability to work in a professional, multidisciplinary, and international environment.
