August 28, 2025
Inspired by a similar event at EAWAG, we held an internal Career-focused DevExchange event at WSL. We had 4 research software engineers among ourselves highlighting their career paths so far and their expectations and experiences with software engineering at WSL. We also discussed the possibilities that they see for an improvement in software engineering at WSL.

How our event ran
We had some very interesting presentations from colleagues who have backgrounds in industry and academia. Each of the speakers presented a bit of their life’s journey prior to becoming a Research software engineer and how their path led them to their careers today. The driving factors for their careers turned out to be pretty diverse - forests, data management, design and coding.
