Your responsibilities
Become a member of the system administration team of the LHCb experiment. We are managing more than 5000 servers and virtual machines and 100s of network devices in our own 2.5 MW data-centre. Work with server computers running Linux which are the basis of the data acquisition, trigger and control system of the LHCb experiment.
Since we are a small team you will have the opportunity to work on everything from hardware management to automation using puppet, pulp and foreman. Also support for developers will be part of the job. The system administration team works in close collaboration with the software developers and maintainers of the LHCb Online system and our goal is maximum availability of the system during the times of data-taking of the Large Hadron Collider in particular.

About us
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter – fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN’s mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
