Software Engineer - Computing and Data Management (EP-DT-2025-12-GRAP)
  • Full-time

Your responsibilities

As a Software Engineer specializing in software development, you will contribute to maintaining, developing, and optimizing tools for coordinating users, experiments, and activities across CERN’s test-beam areas and irradiation facilities. You will also work to harmonize and consolidate these tools to increase synergies, enhance data models, and reuse programming code and infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

  • Adapt and modify software tools based on input from facility and physics coordinators, ensuring seamless information flow between users, experts, and coordinators.
  • Maintain and upgrade tools for irradiation facilities (Data Manager, online databases, DAQ & controls, gamma-spectrometry, e-logs) and collaborate with accelerator teams to develop operational pages using WRAP technology.
  • Ensure long-term sustainability and integration of software tools with CERN’s IT services (e.g., single sign-on, databases, storage, backups).
  • Manage deployment, availability, scalability, and reliable operation of IT services using CERN’s infrastructure.
  • Support tasks such as organizing user meetings, scheduling beam times, and coordinating visits by international teams.

Experience & Skills:

  • Proven ability to analyze user requirements and implement web application modifications.
  • Experience with platform-as-a-service (PaaS), container-based deployment, and orchestration strategies.
  • Practical knowledge of test-driven development (data modeling, version control, issue management, etc.).
  • Familiarity with web services and APIs; experience in their design is a plus.
  • Willingness to learn dynamic web technologies is advantageous.
  • Experience in particle physics, detector R&D, test beams, or irradiation experiments is an asset.

Your profile

Skills

  • Knowledge of C/C++/C# would also be an asset.
  • Competency in using gitlab for version control is essential; some experience or interest in continuous integration is of advantage.
  • Practical experience with at least one of the following relational database systems is expected: PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Oracle (more or all of them would be of advantage). Knowledge of APEX database would also be an advantage.
  • Some familiarity with Docker and/or OpenShift based container implementations.
  • Proficiency in writing low-level HTML and XML based user interface template blocks and some experience with dynamic web frontend technologies (htmx, reactjs, angularjs, etc.).
  • You have a professional background in MSc or PhD degree or equivalent relevant (or a related field) and have either:
    • a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
    • or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
  • You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.

Contract duration: 18 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum.

Working hours: 40 hours per week

This position involves:

  • Participation in a regular stand-by duty, including nights, Sundays and official holidays.
  • Work in Radiation Areas.
  • Residence in the immediate vicinity of the Organization's installations.
  • A valid driving licence.
  • Stand-by duty, when required by the needs of the Organization.
  • Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.
  • Exposure to ionizing radiation and classified as category A.

Given the occupational health risks associated with this position, the selected candidate must obtain medical clearance before a contract offer is confirmed.
