Computing Engineer for the WLCG

Are you a curious and motivated computing graduate, eager to contribute to a global scientific infrastructure? Join CERN and help shape the future of distributed computing by improving how we monitor and understand the use of computing resources across the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG), a global collaboration of more than 150 computing centers in more than 40 countries, serving cutting-edge particle physics.

As a member of the CERN IT department’s Technical Coordination group, you will contribute to the design, deployment, and validation of a scalable monitoring system for data transfers based on the XRootD protocol. XRootD is a data access technology widely used by LHC experiments to read and move scientific data efficiently across global storage infrastructures. Your work will ensure that data traffic across heterogeneous storage systems is reliably monitored and visible in near real time. This monitoring capability is essential for ensuring transparent data access fo...
