Job description

Systems Engineer, Next-Gen HPC Architecture

Help design the next generation of high-performance compute infrastructure for CNO development, shaping how new clusters are built, integrated, and evolved to support emerging workloads, modern pipelines, and future-facing technologies like LLM solutions.

Responsibilities

• Design the technical roadmap for next-generation HPC environments supporting CNO development
• Build reusable patterns and easy-to-adopt templates that help teams leverage new compute and LLM solutions where they make sense
• Architect end-to-end solutions that connect legacy systems with modern HPC environments while preserving security and improving performance
• Assess existing infrastructure, document dependencies, and help prioritize modernization based on mission impact, cost, and lifecycle risk
• Design modern developer workflows and improve how teams interact with their development environment
• Partner with stakeholders to align technical direction with mission goals and long-term infrastructure strategy
• Support CI/CD and platform design decisions that help future environments scale cleanly and operate reliably

Minimum Qualifications

• Top Secret Clearance with Polygraph, must be active (no sponsorship available)
• U.S. Citizenship (no visa sponsorship)
• 8 years of relevant experience with a Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline, or 4 additional years of relevant experience may substitute for a Bachelor’s degree

Required Skills

• Strong background in corporate services and stakeholder management, including the ability to build ROI models and translate technical decisions for executives, security teams, and mission developers
• 5 or more years of deep systems engineering and cloud architecture experience, with a proven track record of building, breaking, and rebuilding complex enterprise infrastructure
• Demonstrated expertise in system design, configuration, and usability in production environments, including hands‑on HPC experience
• Prior experience leading infrastructure modernization and technical transformations, especially incremental migrations rather than lift‑and‑shift efforts
• Familiarity with agency‑specific cloud compliance nuances, particularly ATO processes and operational constraints
• Ability to design with both immediate mission needs and longer‑term technical evolution in mind

Desired Skills

• CNO development experience and understanding of what developers need from their environment
• Enclave experience and familiarity with the architectural constraints of restricted environments
• Cost optimization expertise, including right‑sizing resources, FinOps practices, and evaluating where cloud investment makes sense
• Familiarity with LLM solution enablement in modern compute environments
• Experience improving developer workflows and platform usability in mission settings

Compensation

$137,000.00 – $176,000.00 (range based on market trends and individual qualifications)

Benefits

• Ample PTO, all federal holidays, and your birthday off
• Multiple medical plan options, including zero deductible or premium plans for employees
• Generous 401(k) with immediate vesting
• Exciting bonus opportunities, including profit sharing, quarterly awards, and President’s Club recognition
• Culture of collaboration, connection, and fun, with regular team activities
