CERN
CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research, an intergovernmental, nonprofit laboratory headquartered in Meyrin, Switzerland (founded 1954). It designs, builds, and operates particle accelerators and detectors—most notably the Large Hadron Collider—and provides large-scale computing and data services for a worldwide physics community. Funded by its European Member States, CERN hosts thousands of visiting researchers and engineers and develops technologies ranging from control systems to identity and access management used across its experiments.

Join CERN’s Physics Software Engineering team to accelerate high-energy physics Monte Carlo simulation for the HL-LHC using modern CPUs, GPUs, and heterogeneous computing architectures. The role combines performance engineering, theoretical physics, and software development focused on the Madgraph event generator suite.
CERN is seeking a Full-Stack Software Developer to build and maintain applications using Java, React, Oracle, and related technologies that support engineering safety and facility access processes. This is a 24-month, fully onsite early-career role in an international research environment.
Join CERN’s EOS Storage Development and Operations team to operate and evolve exabyte-scale distributed storage services supporting scientific research worldwide. This junior role combines software development, Linux administration, automation, troubleshooting, and performance optimization in a fully onsite environment.
Build, operate, and evolve CERN’s large-scale collaboration and communication services used by scientists and support teams worldwide. The role combines software engineering, service ownership, infrastructure automation, and reliability work across email, identity, group management, and media platforms.
Contribute to developing, deploying, and maintaining the Open Research Europe publishing platform built on Open Journal Systems. This early-career role combines PHP web application development with containerized infrastructure operations and open-source collaboration.
Design and operate CERN’s shared machine-learning platforms for physics experiments, researchers, and services, using cloud-native technologies, open-source tools, and high-performance computing. The role supports next-generation trigger systems for the High Luminosity LHC and broader AI use cases across CERN.
Build full-stack services that support open data, reproducible computational analyses, and open science at CERN. You will contribute to the REANA analysis platform and the LHCb Ntupling service while collaborating with research teams and external partners.
Develop Python software, GUIs, and analysis tools that support beam-optics measurements, corrections, and commissioning for CERN’s High-Luminosity LHC. This 24-month hybrid role combines software engineering with applied accelerator physics.
