HPC Architect

Responsibilities

• Network Optimization: Implement high-performance networking solutions, including private dedicated connectivity and low-latency HPC interconnects (e.g., AWS Direct Connect / Azure ExpressRoute / Google Cloud Interconnect; AWS EFA / Azure HPC fabrics e.g. IB/ GCP HPC interconnect options etc.), to support low-latency MPI applications.
• Hybrid Architecture Design: Architect and deploy scalable HPC clusters using cloud-native HPC cluster managers and virtual compute (e.g., AWS ParallelCluster + Amazon EC2 / Azure CycleCloud + Azure VM Scale Sets / Google Cloud Cluster Toolkit or similar + Compute Engine), ensuring seamless integration with on-premises schedulers. Proven expertise with HPC schedulers and orchestration patterns (e.g. Slurm, cloud HPC cluster orchestration, batch orchestration).
• Infrastructure Portability: Define and maintain containerization standards using Apptainer (Singularity) or related technologies to ensure binary compatibility across heterogeneous hardware and environments.
• Design high I/O workloads (parallel file system patterns) (e.g., AWS / GCP / Azure Managed Lustre or parallel FS deployments and/or self-managed Lustre/GPFS/BeeGFS), observability, reproducibility and operational excellence.

Requirements

• Knowledge of HPC-with-cloud integration strategies, experience with technical feasibility planning.
• Strong understanding of regulated enterprise R&D environments.
• Understanding of scientific computing reproducibility requirements, relying on enterprise standard tooling.
• Deep understanding of Amazon VPC /Google Cloud / Azure networking, peering and security group configurations.

Nice to have

• Experience in life-sciences.
• Experience in specific applications like Schrodinger, Jupyter, Matlab.
• Experience with workflow engines.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation.
• Remote or office work.
• Flexible working hours.
• Healthcare benefits: medical insurance and paid sick leave.
• Continuous education, mentoring, and professional development programs.
• A team with excellent tech expertise.
• Certifications paid by the company.
