Computing Engineer Data Storage Systems

Your responsibilities

Join CERN’s Storage and Data Management group and help to evolve the data storage systems used at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and across CERN’s experimental programme. The Storage and Data Management Group (IT-SD) is responsible for enabling data access for the laboratory. The group manages more than one exabyte of storage across about 2,000 data servers – CERN, take part!

• As a Full-Stack Computing Engineer (Data Storage Systems), you will join the CERNBox team, responsible for providing disk-based cloud storage to the whole CERN community, ranging from Scientists to Engineers or Administrative users. Your job will include both software development and operations tasks.
• On the software development side, you will work on integrating the system with large scale storage systems (such as CephFS) and will participate in a project aimed at developing and promoting data and code repositories at the European level.
• On the operations side, you will take part in troubleshooting problems and diagnosing the cause of any system failures. This will include interaction with user support tickets as well as other storage services in the IT-SD group.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining and developing software in Go and/or Javascript
• Optimisation and automation of storage services
• Contributing to procedures and documentation
• Participating in operations, troubleshooting and support as part of a team
