This salary is estimated based on similar roles. The actual salary may vary.
Introduction:
You will support development teams and ensure reliable operation of Open Science core services such as INSPIRE, SCOAP3, and CERN Analysis Preservation by delivering modern platform tooling, automation, observability, and infrastructure. This role combines hands on service operations with close collaboration with developers and the fast evaluation of new technologies.
Functions:
• Support development teams with best practices, deployment models, observability, and platform tooling to ensure smooth integration and reliable production operations.
• Provide and maintain developer tooling (templates, automation scripts, CI/CD workflows, development environments, platform services) to streamline development, testing, and deployment.
• Operate and improve production services (INSPIRE, CAP, SCOAP³, and related systems), ensuring reliability, performance, scalability, and security; participate in monitoring, incident response, and service lifecycle management.
• Lead and contribute to postmortems, conducting structured incident analysis, identifying root causes, defining actions, and driving reliability improvements.
• Design and automate platform components, including Kubernetes resources, GitOps workflows, Helm/Kustomize configurations, and infrastructure-as-code environments to improve reproducibility and reduce operational overhead.
• Prototype and evaluate new technologies (cloud-native tooling, operators, observability stacks, AI-related infrastructure) and integrate them when beneficial.
• Enhance developer experience by improving documentation, automation, self-service capabilities, and platform usability.

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.
