Kubernetes Engineer

Are you excited by the challenge of optimizing GPU and accelerator access at scale? Do you thrive on solving complex problems in high-performance computing and machine learning. Join CERN's Platforms Infrastructure team and play a key role in maximizing the efficiency and impact of accelerator devices (GPUs and beyond) for cutting-edge scientific computing! Responsibilities As part of our team, you will: Build and manage a centralized GPU resource pool, ensuring fair and efficient allocation through quotas, pre-emption, and backfilling strategies. Collaborate and integrate with teams across CERN IT (notebooks, CI/CD, machine learning, batch services, and more) to streamline GPU accessibility and usability. Innovate and optimize by researching and implementing state-of-the-art GPU sharing solutions tailored to diverse workloads. This is a great chance to push the boundaries of computing at scale in one of the world's most exciting scientific environments! Qualifications Experience with Kubernetes and cloud native tools and ecosystem (CKA is a plus) Experience with GPUs and other hardware accelerators Experience with Linux and cloud native system administration Maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Computing Engineering, Computer Science (or a related field) Highest educational qualification is either a Bachelor's or Master's degree

Physicists and engineers at CERN use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – fundamental particles. Subatomic particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives us clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. We want to advance the boundaries of human knowledge by delving into the smallest building blocks of our universe. (Video: CERN) The instruments used at CERN are purpose-built particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before the beams are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these collisions.Founded in 1954, the CERN laboratory sits astride the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. It was one of Europe's first joint ventures and now has 23 member states.
