The Research e-Infrastructure Career Seniority Framework provides a structured approach to defining and supporting career pathways for professionals who operate at the critical interface between research and operations of data processing, storage, analyses and transfer platforms which are developed and provided at research infrastructures. By offering clarity of expectations across seniority levels, it helps individuals and institutions align skills, responsibilities, and development opportunities. The framework emphasizes the uniqueness of e-infrastructure roles, which differ from traditional IT or administrative positions through their closeness to the research process and their capacity to quickly and flexibly translate scientific needs into advanced technical solutions. Most importantly, it underlines the dual ambition of merging quality research with quality service, ensuring that both dimensions are advanced together to sustain and accelerate scientific progress.
