HPC Platform DevOps Engineer - Hybrid Cloud/On-Prem

Vestas; Leça do Balio; Hybrid; EUR 65,000 - 90,000; Full time

Job summary

Vestas is seeking a DevOps Engineer specialized in HPC platforms to evolve and operate hybrid compute landscapes spanning on-prem HPC clusters and Azure-based environments. The role focuses on building automation, IaC, and scalable compute for engineering, AI, and simulations.

You will work across Linux and Windows HPC clusters, schedulers like Slurm, and cloud integrations. Strong scripting (Python/Go/Bash), CI/CD, and monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana are key.

Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Extensive experience with Linux-based infrastructure and distributed systems.
• Experience with HPC environments (clusters, schedulers like Slurm or similar).
• Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, or similar).
• Experience with Azure or other cloud platforms in a DevOps context.
• Programming/scripting experience (e.g., Python, Go, Bash).
• Experience with CI/CD, version control (Git), and automation tools (e.g., Ansible).
• Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana).
• Solid problem-solving mindset with focus on performance and scalability.
• Ability to work across cloud and on-premise environments (hybrid mindset).
• Curious and engaged approach to learning and improving platforms.
• Solid collaboration and communication skills in a global organization.
• Ability to balance stability (operations) and innovation (platform evolution).
• Structured and quality-oriented approach to engineering practices.

Responsibilities

• Develop and operate HPC platform capabilities.
• Work with Linux-based and Windows HPC clusters, schedulers, and storage systems.
• Support hybrid workloads across on-prem data centers and cloud (Azure).
• Build platform automation and Infrastructure-as-Code.
• Implement automation using tools such as Terraform, or similar.
• Standardize provisioning, configuration, and scaling of HPC environments.
• Enable scalable compute for engineering and AI workloads.
• Support simulation, Agentic workloads and AI/ML workloads requiring high compute capacity.
• Optimize performance, cost, and reliability of compute workloads.
• Contribute to platform architecture and evolution.
• Design and improve HPC and compute platform architecture.
• Guide teams on how to effectively use HPC, cloud compute resources and how to modernize their application for better performance.
• Collaborate across teams and domains.
• Work closely with platform engineers, simulation engineering, and application teams.
• Align with cloud, network, and security teams on platform integration.
• Strengthen DevOps practices in HPC environments.
• Support journey towards modern software architecture such as CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and platform components.
• Promote DevOps mindset in traditional operations-heavy HPC setups.
• Ensure we are data driven in what we do.
• Support implementation of data-driven decisions, data for platform usage and resource utilization to enable better decision making.
• Contribute to roadmap and capability maturity.
• Identify platform gaps and improvement opportunities.
• Help define the future of compute platforms including AI and advanced workloads.
