arXiv's Cloud Migration: Modernizing the Preprint Server

arXiv, the world-renowned preprint server, is undergoing a major technological upgrade: migrating to Google Cloud Platform. This migration aims to improve scalability and modernize infrastructure, addressing issues such as legacy Perl and PHP backend code, asynchronous processing, and monitoring. Post-migration, arXiv will expand its subject areas, improve metadata collection, address ambiguous author identities, and enhance overall usability and accessibility. To support this exciting transformation, arXiv is hiring Software Engineers, a DevOps Specialist, and a Scientist/Software Developer with a strong background in both research and software development.
