About CERN

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world's largest and most complex scientific research organizations. Our work contributes to ensuring peace and prosperity for generations to come.

At CERN, physicists and engineers probe the fundamental structure of the universe using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments.

Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Junior Computing Infrastructure Engineer to join our team in Geneva, Switzerland. As a member of our Experimental Physics (EP) Department, you will contribute to major upgrades addressing key particle physics questions.

The CMS Data Acquisition and Trigger Group (CMD) develops, operates, and maintains data acquisition (DAQ) and control systems, as well as online computer clusters, Ethernet-based networks, and mass storage systems vital for the experiment.

This complex Ethernet-based infrastructure includes sub-detector control PCs, data acquisition PCs, high-performance GPUs, and thousands of cloud servers for offline analysis. Your contributions will help evolve this critical system.

As a Computing Infrastructure Engineer, you will:

  1. Perform system administration tasks for LINUX computers connected to the CMS experiment network (control room consoles, data centre servers, and virtual machines).
  2. Communicate with end-users to understand their needs and help translate these into appropriate solutions.
  3. Investigate, diagnose, and resolve operational problems in collaboration with end-users ranging from physicist to operations teams.
  4. Participate actively to the strategic design and evolution of the CMS online computing infrastructure, including networks, on-line clusters, mass storage devices, virtual machines, and containers.
  5. Produce technical documentation on all the processes and systems in place.
  6. Take part in on-call duty to address urgent system administration issues, which might require intervention on-site.

You will be working at the forefront of modern computing, collaborating with experts in various fields, and contributing to cutting-edge projects that push the boundaries of human knowledge.

About You

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • Technical experience in Linux System Administration.
  • Experience in analysing and debugging operational problems in Linux Clusters.
  • Relevant certifications in Linux System Administration and container technologies are a plus.

You should possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, excellent communication and teamwork abilities, and the ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks effectively.

What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary range between 5134 and 5647 Swiss Francs (net of tax), comprehensive health insurance, membership of the CERN Pension Fund, and a range of benefits, including installation grant, family, child, and infant allowances, payment of travel expenses, and 30 days of paid leave per year.
