Compute Services Engineer

Introduction

Join the team operating and evolving the computing infrastructure services underpinning the scientific program of CERN!

As a Compute Services Engineer in the ‘IT Compute and Devices’ group in CERN’s IT Department you will help running services on the critical path for the CERN experiments and contribute to the efficient delivery of infrastructure and interactive compute resources to CERN as an organisation and its experiment users.

Specifically, you will join the team to work on the interactive Linux based public logon service (LxPlus) and contribute to the secure delivery and optimisation of IT’s Puppet-based configuration management services. With more than 1000 interactive sessions open at any time, LxPlus is a critical hub for experiment workflows and CERN users, and also acts as a main entry point to many of the IT service offerings. IT’s Puppet-based configuration management services runs on about 14000 Linux and Windows systems in IT and the experiments which makes this large-scale service the prime component to ensure proper configuration of virtual and physical servers at CERN.
