Your responsibilities
Join CERN’s Storage and Data Management group, to evolve the data storage systems used at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and across CERN’s experimental programme. The Storage and Data Management (SD) Group is responsible for enabling data access for the laboratory, in particular the long-term archival, preservation and distribution of LHC data to a worldwide scientific community. The group manages more than one exabyte of storage across about 2,000 data servers and 50,000 high-capacity tapes. CERN, take part!
As a Computing Engineer (Data Storage Systems), you will join the CERN Tape Archive (CTA) team, responsible for the archival and management of the physics data from the entirety of CERN’s experimental programme.
Your job will include a range of operational tasks to ensure the smooth running of the CTA service:
This role includes interaction with CERN experiment data management teams and other storage services in SD group, as well as external labs who use CTA software. Your responsibilities will include:

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.
