Job description

Science waits for no one… and the technology behind it needs to keep up.

Behind some of the world's most complex computing challenges is infrastructure that needs to be powerful, reliable and constantly evolving. From large scale data processing to complex computational workloads, high performance computing is pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Now you can play a key role in building the systems that make it happen.

As a Senior HPC Engineer, you'll help design, develop and maintain large scale computing environments, ensuring the infrastructure, storage and resources are ready to handle increasingly demanding workloads.

You’ll take ownership of the engineering behind complex Linux environments, working across compute clusters, high performance networking and large scale storage solutions. From managing software deployments and optimising workloads to improving configuration management, automation and monitoring, you’ll help build and maintain reliable, efficient computing platforms.

This is ahands on infrastructurerole where getting into thedetailmatters. You’ll work with technologies spanning cluster management, parallelfilesystems, GPU computing and high performance networking, while continually evaluating new tools and approaches to improve the environment. There’s also plenty of scope to develop and refine the processes behind the infrastructure, from deployment and revision control through to security, backup and disaster recovery.

Just as importantly, you’ll work closely with technical teams and end users, understanding their requirements, troubleshooting complex challenges and helping them get the most from the available infrastructure. Whether that providing specialist technical guidance, improving documentation or helping deliver new computing capabilities, your work will have a tangible impact.

You’ll be joining a specialist engineering team with the opportunity to influence the direction of a complex computing environment, share knowledge and bring new ideas to the table.

If you’re passionate about Linux systems engineering, enjoy working with complex infrastructure and want to take on technically interesting challenges, this is an opportunity to make a real difference.

The computing demands are getting bigger. Help build the infrastructure to meet them.
