Are you eager to apply your engineering skills to support groundbreaking research at the world's largest particle physics laboratory? CERN take part!

We are part of the Tools and Services section in CERN's Scientific Information Service, an agile and high-performing team working at the intersection of research and technology. Our stack includes Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Python, and OpenSearch on the back end, with ReactJS on the front end. We actively contribute to open-source projects and collaborate closely with the CERN Information Technology department.

As a Platform Engineer you will contribute to the operation of the different services in the section (including INSPIRE, CERN Analysis Preservation), live systems with thousands of users every year, high throughput REST APIs, and a state-of-the-art UX. The role will consist of working closely with our collaborators from different institutions to maintain, support and deploy services and tools that strive to help the research community. Many challenges and opportunities are bound to match some of your engineering interests and strengths!

Eligibility criteria:

• You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
• By the application deadline, you have a maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Computer science (or a related field) and your highest educational qualification is either a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
• You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
• Applicants without University degree are not eligible.
