Introduction
Are you an experienced Software Engineer passionate about full-stack web development and open-source technologies? Join a dynamic team at CERN, working on a large-scale open-source platform used daily by thousands of users worldwide.
You will contribute to the evolution of the CERN Document Server (CDS), CERN’s institutional repository, as it transitions to a modern platform based on InvenioRDM. CDS preserves and disseminates CERN’s scientific, administrative, and multimedia output, ensuring long-term access to the organisation’s intellectual and historical record.
In this role, you will work at the core of CERN’s digital repository ecosystem, helping to design, build, and operate a mission-critical service that supports Open Science at a global scale.
Functions
• Designing and developing new modules and functionalities for the CERN Document Server (CDS), while contributing to its underlying open-source platform, InvenioRDM.
• Collaborating with stakeholders to ensure CDS meets functional, usability, and service requirements.
• Performing DevOps activities, including service configuration, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance.
• Sharing expertise and collaborating with the wider InvenioRDM developer and open-source community.
• Migrating content and services from the current CDS to the new InvenioRDM-based repository platform.
• Providing user support and technical assistance to CDS users.
• Managing and reviewing code contributions in line with open-source development best practices.

About CERN
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is a premier international research institution dedicated to fundamental physics. Established in 1954 near Geneva, Switzerland, CERN brings together scientists from around the world to explore the fundamental nature of the universe. The organization operates as a collaborative hub for cutting-edge research, focusing on particle physics and the development of advanced technologies to support scientific discovery. Its mission is to push the boundaries of human knowledge through large-scale, collaborative experiments. CERN’s primary activities include operating the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, and conducting experiments to investigate the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern them. The organization also develops and shares innovative technologies, such as the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid, which processes and stores vast amounts of experimental data. CERN’s work primarily serves the global scientific community, including physicists, engineers, and researchers, who collaborate on groundbreaking projects aimed at advancing our understanding of the universe. Notable achievements include the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, a milestone in particle physics, and the development of the World Wide Web, originally created to facilitate information sharing among researchers. CERN holds a unique position as a leader in both scientific research and technological innovation, fostering international cooperation and driving progress in fundamental science. Its open-access approach to data and technology ensures that discoveries benefit the broader scientific community and society at large.
