- Automate cluster deployment and operations using Terraform, Ansible, Python, and Bash
- Manage HPC software stacks using Spack
- Deploy and support parallel workloads using MPI, OpenMP, and related frameworks
- Troubleshoot performance issues and drive continuous optimisation
- Collaborate with engineering teams and stakeholders in a fully remote environment
What We’re Looking For
Essential
- 5+ years’ experience in HPC environments (SLURM, MPI, parallel workloads)
- Strong Linux systems expertise in performance-critical environments
- Hands-on experience running or migrating HPC workloads in the cloud (GCP preferred)
- Solid experience with Terraform and Ansible
- Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash)
- Deep understanding of GCP services (GCE, VPC, Cloud Storage)
Nice to Have
- GCP certifications (DevOps / Cloud Engineer)
- Experience with Preemptible VMs and cloud cost-optimisation strategies
- HPC performance profiling and debugging tools
- Containers in HPC (Singularity, Docker)
- Exposure to Spark or big data tooling
Why Apply
