Job description

IC Resources is supporting a specialist technology organisation requiring an experienced HPC Infrastructure Engineer for a focused infrastructure improvement project.

The successful engineer will take technical ownership of an existing on-premise HPC/compute environment, assess the current infrastructure and implement improvements across reliability, manageability, monitoring and automation.

This would suit a hands-on Linux/HPC engineer who is comfortable entering an existing environment, identifying weaknesses and leaving the infrastructure in a more robust and supportable state.

Key Experience

• Linux HPC / compute infrastructure
• HPC cluster administration
• Linux server and node management
• Cluster troubleshooting and remediation
• Infrastructure monitoring and management
• Networking and storage within compute environments
• Infrastructure automation
• Improving resilience and reliability
• Technical documentation
• Knowledge transfer and handover

Experience with workload schedulers, infrastructure-as-code, configuration management, high-performance networking or distributed storage would be beneficial.

We’re particularly interested in engineers who have previously delivered HPC cluster upgrades, infrastructure remediation, migrations or short-term improvement programmes.
