Your responsibilities
Join the team operating and evolving the 5’000+ node HTCondor based High-Throughput batch service at the heart of the CERN data processing!
Are you a talented Computing Engineer who would like to come and work with computing at scale, helping run the compute farm at the heart of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid? As a member of the team responsible for the batch service, you will have a varied role, from helping to automate the delivery of compute, to self healing infrastructure, to helping physicists and researchers use the facility efficiently.
The Compute and Devices (CD) group in CERN IT provides a wide range of compute services, all the way from end user devices, through cloud infrastructure-as-a- Service, configuration management, batch and HPC computing at CERN, together with a set of services that support the whole WLCG.
As a member of the Compute and Configuration (CC) section of the CD group, you will join a team of engineers in charge of these services. We run the compute facility that comprises approximately 20% of the WLCG, using tools such as Puppet, OpenStack and Kubernetes to manage batch systems running HTCondor, HPC systems running SLURM, and the support services keeping everything glued together.

What we offer
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.
