Your responsibilities

Improvements in the management of Electrical Safety risks have been identified as a priority for the management of CERN's accelerator complex. Rigorous and pragmatic solutions to the multifaceted challenges are required. The Electrical Safety Project has been set up to develop strategies for improving electrical risk management. The project is hosted by the Engineering Department (EN) which pushes forward the limits of technology to provide innovative research tools to the physics and engineering worldwide community. Within the Information Management Group (IM) group, you will join the Electrical Safety Project Team.

Are you passionate about software development and committed to ensuring safety in complex technical environments? We are seeking a skilled Software Developer to contribute to our team working on the Electrical Safety Portal within the Accelerators & Technologies Sector (ATS). Your work will directly contribute to making interventions safer, providing real-time knowledge of electrical risks, and integrating seamlessly with diverse systems at CERN.

If you are ready to make a meaningful impact on safety within cutting-edge scientific facilities, this opportunity is for you! Through the utilisation of technologies such as JavaScript (React), the HTML5 stack, Java, OIDC, and leveraging our internal cloud services, you will be instrumental in shaping the portal's architecture. Additionally, you'll rotate into the SCRUM master role, conduct code reviews, participate in pair coding sessions, and offer guidance to other team members.

About us

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.
