Join a team of DevOps Engineers and librarians who design, develop and operate services to help scientists find the scientific information they need and make science go faster! Take part!

Introduction

Scientific Information Officer in the Director General Unit (DGU), Scientific Information Service Group (SIS).

Collaboration and the free flow of information are critical to CERN's success in achieving its scientific goals. In partnership with the CERN IT Department and external partners, the CERN Scientific Information Service develops and operates a suite of digital library services for high-energy physics researchers worldwide. These services make accessible CERN scientific results (https://cds.cern.ch/(link is external)), organise and connect scientific information in the field, support Open Access to the results of research and provide the backbone to all the CERN Library services.

With partners in Asia, Europe, and the United States, the Service leads the development (http://github.com/inspirehep(link is external)) and operation of INSPIRE (http://inspirehep.net(link is external)) comprising over 1 million scientific documents, searched several times per second by a community of tens of thousands of researchers, and now evolving into a crowd-sourced system (http://labs.inspirehep.net(link is external)).

We are developing new services in partnership with the scientific community and the CERN IT department to share (http://opendata.cern.ch(link is external)) and preserve (http://analysis-preservation.cern.ch(link is external)) LHC data.

All these services are based on the open source Invenio digital library (http://invenio-software.org(link is external)), a flask application backed by Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL/MariaDB, Redis and Celery, developed in Python in a distributed version control system (Git), integrated with automation platforms in a distributed environment (Puppet, Docker) and run on the CERN OpenStack infrastructure.

Functions

As DevOps Engineer, you will share responsibility for developing and operating the entire suite of our digital library services and deliver solutions to address the evolving needs of their user communities. In particular you will:

.In cooperation with the team leadership, design services for the continuous automation of existing processes for the discovery, organization and display of scientific information relevant for the user communities.

.In synergy with the wider group of Invenio developers, deliver relevant components to sustain and grow the team's services either on the existing software stack, or with open source sustainable alternatives. Coach students contributing to the development and take direct responsibility for software integration and deployment.

.Identify, suggest and deliver solutions for seamless interoperability of relevant information platforms operated at CERN and by the wider community.

.Pro-actively analyse technology trends, user feedback, usage logs, and usability test results to suggest strategies to enhance user experience and service level.

Qualification required

Bachelors in the field of computer science or software engineering, or equivalent.

*Please note that preference will be given to candidates with the above-mentioned qualifications: In principle consideration will not be given to applications from people with higher qualifications.

Experience and competencies

The experience required for this post is:

.Strong programming skills and proven experience with common web standards and frameworks. Usage of version control systems preferably in open source projects (code review and merging).

.Understanding of systems and IT operations for a scalable web service in a Linux/Unix e
