You will contribute to the design and evolution of the system, operate a Rucio deployment for the RI-SCALE consortium, and collaborate with a variety of people at CERN and the diverse open-source community of Rucio. In particular, you will:

  • Design and develop features for the Rucio catalog component.
  • Improve the usability and performance of Rucio in the context of the scientific use-case of RI-SCALE.
  • Participate in DevOps tasks in operating a Rucio deployment for the project.
  • Participate in the evolution of the Rucio architecture at large.

Your profile

Skills

  • Excellent skills in the Python programming language.
  • Proven experience in software design, architecture, and continuous integration.
  • Strong knowledge in distributed systems, computer networks, databases.
  • Knowledge of the scientific computing domain and deployments via Kubernetes is an advantage.

    • 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.
