Your initial focus will be on the next generation of shared data foundations that underpin DHI's scientific software ecosystem across our products and advisory work: the components that move scientific and geospatial data efficiently between our simulation engines, desktop applications, GIS software, and the scientific Python ecosystem. This work reflects DHI's strong commitment to open standards and interoperability. At a later stage you will also contribute to broader development across DHI's software portfolio.
Based in Hørsholm, Denmark, you will be part of a global development team focused on developing our MIKE product suite, which is used worldwide.
Responsibilities:
Design and develop essential core and common components for handling structured grids, unstructured meshes, time series, and raster and vector geospatial data, and for moving these efficiently between DHI's products, GIS tools, and the scientific Python ecosystem
Transform legacy code to modern tech stacks
General development across DHI’s software portfolio and shared components
Write production code backed by unit tests and automated checks
Work together with developers, project managers, product owners and other colleagues
You possess some of these professional qualifications:
Experience with both C++ and C#
Experience with desktop application development for Windows and Linux
Experience with geospatial data (vector and raster) and interoperability with GIS software
Experience with Python and the scientific Python ecosystem (e.g. NumPy, xarray); awareness of open standards in the scientific data community is a plus
Experience with AI-guided development
Experience with scientific software and mathematics-based programming
Experience with performance-aware I/O and data handling for large datasets, including formats such as Zarr and netCDF (chunking, lazy evaluation, efficient subsetting)
Experience with domain decomposition libraries such as METIS for partitioning large computational domains
Experience with documenting software APIs and architecture
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing for cross-platform native code (Windows and Linux)
Personal Qualifications
Ability to work individually as well as in a team
