Your responsibilities

Are you an enthusiastic engineer eager to join the Storage & Data Management group with more than 1 Exabyte of storage at your fingertips?

As a DevOps engineer, you will join CERN's IT Department in the Ceph team, which is responsible for providing highly-available and reliable block, object, and file storage to address the storage needs of CERN's Cloud Infrastructure and its community of users.

  • Contribute fixes and features to the upstream Ceph code base for long-term maintainability;
  • Test, evaluate, and implement disaster recovery features according to the Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery objectives of the Organisation.

We offer the opportunity to develop strong expertise in performance and reliability engineering on the Linux platform, exposure to PB-scale infrastructure management, and the chance to hone your programming skills in an exciting environment.

You will be a member of the service operations team and rota, which may be required to perform interventions outside of standard working hours, including nights, Sundays and official holidays.

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.
