Interested in helping shape the next generation systems handling the very large amount of data coming out of CERN physics detectors? Passionate about machine learning (ML) and how it will reshape how our experiments work?

Join the CERN IT Platforms and Workflows Group and the Next Generation Trigger project to have an impact on how our future infrastructure will look like.

You will:

• Help with the system design and specification, focusing on the required resources (type and numbers) and participating in procurement and tender processes.
• Identify reference use cases from the different teams around machine learning. Run extensive benchmarks relying on multiple resource types and configurations, covering distributed training, hyper-parameter optimization and inference.
• Research and develop a shared MLOps platform to serve the different CERN teams involved. Iterate with end users on different prototype solutions and engage with industry leaders to ensure long term sustainability of our choices.

Skills and/or knowledge

• Good knowledge of machine learning use cases and software frameworks.
• Experience with GPUs and other hardware accelerators.
• Experience with Linux and cloud native system administration.
• Knowledge and experience with public clouds is a plus.
• Fluent in English, the ability to work in French would be an advantage.
