Context
The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), situated in Grenoble, France, is Europe's leading research facility for scientific research using neutrons. Every year, we host over 2000 visits by scientists, who come to the Institute to carry out world-class research.

Are you interested in taking up a new challenge in an international institute?
As a Technical Architect, you will play an active role in innovative IT projects. Come and join us so you can put your technical expertise to work and help shape the future of technology at the ILL.

Your tasks
Building on your experience, particularly with open source technologies and the open source community, you will play a key role in the architecture and implementation of major IT projects at the ILL. As a member of the IT Service, your main responsibilities will be as follows:
-Project architecture and design:

You will also be responsible for maintaining existing technical solutions, in particular databases, proposing improvements and replacements where necessary.
-IAM and identity governance:
Your central role is further strengthened by your ability to define and lead IAM issues (WebSSO, directories, user management, workflows, identity governance). You will play a cross-functional role, providing support to project managers and the various IT groups (infrastructure, development, user support) to guarantee the coherence and security of identity and access systems.
