Job summary

Autonomai Recruitment seeks an HPC Data Center Developer to build automation and tooling for large-scale HPC infrastructure. You will automate onboarding, provisioning, monitoring and lifecycle management of servers, network equipment, power systems, cooling infrastructure and other data-centre assets.

The ideal candidate will have strong Golang development experience and a proven ability to automate physical hardware and infrastructure at scale, collaborating with HPC engineering and operations

Qualifications

• Strong professional experience developing software in Golang.
• Demonstrable experience automating physical hardware or data-centre infrastructure.
• Experience building production automation for server, GPU, network, storage, power or cooling systems.
• Strong Linux and systems engineering knowledge.
• Understanding of server components, rack-scale infrastructure and data-centre operations.
• Experience developing reliable, scalable and observable production systems.
• Ability to work effectively with infrastructure, hardware and operations teams.
• Strong troubleshooting, debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Experience supporting HPC, AI/ML, GPU or high-density compute environments.
• Experience with data-centre hardware such as GPUs, servers, switches, rack PDUs, CDUs and environmental monitoring systems.
• Knowledge of Kubernetes, Slurm or other cluster-management and workload-orchestration technologies.
• Experience with Python, Bash or another systems programming language.
• Familiarity with configuration management, infrastructure as code and CI/CD.
• Experience with Prometheus, Grafana or other observability platforms.
• Exposure to power, cooling and data-centre capacity planning.
• Experience in a high-availability, trading, cloud, hyperscale or other performance-critical environment.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain production-grade automation in Golang.
• Automate the full lifecycle of HPC data-centre hardware, from initial discovery and provisioning through to deployment, monitoring, maintenance and decommissioning.
• Build workflows for servers, GPUs, network switches, rack PDUs, CDUs, environmental sensors and related infrastructure.
• Develop end-to-end processes that take hardware from racked and cabled through configuration, validation and production readiness with minimal manual intervention.
• Integrate with hardware management interfaces, APIs and protocols such as Redfish, IPMI, SNMP and vendor-specific platforms.
• Build tooling for hardware health monitoring, diagnostics, alerting and automated recovery.
• Integrate telemetry from compute, networking, power, cooling and environmental systems into centralised monitoring platforms.
• Support capacity planning across power, cooling, rack space, networking and compute resources.
• Develop operational tools for inventory management, spares, change management, troubleshooting and hardware lifecycle tracking.
• Work closely with HPC engineering, data-centre operations, network, systems and infrastructure teams.
• Translate manual operational processes and pain points into reliable, maintainable automation.
• Own the reliability, documentation and ongoing improvement of the systems and tools you develop.
• Support large-scale infrastructure deployments, maintenance activities and production incidents when required.

Job description

We are looking for an HPC Data Center Developer to build the automation and tooling that supports large-scale high-performance computing infrastructure.

This is a development-focused role for an engineer who understands both software and data-centre hardware. You will automate the onboarding, provisioning, monitoring and lifecycle management of servers, network equipment, power systems, cooling infrastructure and other critical data-centre assets.

The ideal candidate will have strong, hands-on experience with Golang and a proven track record of automating physical hardware and infrastructure at scale.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain production-grade automation in Golang.
• Automate the full lifecycle of HPC data-centre hardware, from initial discovery and provisioning through to deployment, monitoring, maintenance and decommissioning.
• Build workflows for servers, GPUs, network switches, rack PDUs, CDUs, environmental sensors and related infrastructure.
