Your responsibilities
Are you a motivated Full Stack Software Engineer with a passion for delivering complex and compelling information systems end-to-end? Are you at ease with server-side technologies, and also with writing frontends in JavaScript and not afraid to optimise database queries, to dive into data integration processes or configure and debug messaging/eventing systems? Do you enjoy working in an agile environment and a self-organized team? Then join our team of talented engineers and contribute to application software for CERN's Corporate Information Systems. CERN, take part!
You will join the Business Computing (BC) group in the Finance and Administrative Processes (FAP) department, where 80+ talented international colleagues are responsible for delivering information systems for all of CERN's business functions.
The product management-driven Business Computing Group is working for clients across the whole organisation (HR, Finance, Planning, Safety, Security, Purchasing, Logistics, and Accelerator Operations). The type of products under the group's responsibility range from custom-made solutions for a few users to large and widely integrated systems with 15,000+ users. Hence, working for the BC group provides numerous perspectives for being in touch with different technologies and business areas.

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.
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
