[Hiring] HPC Infrastructure Engineer @Insight Softmax Consulting LLC

Role Description

We are hiring an HPC Infrastructure Engineer for our engineering team. Within the HPC realm, we design and build CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and simulation services.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in building and maintaining high-performance computing services, expertise in distributed systems, and a passion for systems engineering, scaling, and storage architecture. This role involves working closely with our development teams to design, implement, and optimize HPC solutions that meet our growing needs.

This opportunity is particularly unique, placed within our skunkworks team at Insight Softmax. While the exact nature and purpose of this work is confidential, it is an extremely exciting set of projects and objectives that touch HPC, ML, Simulation, and Quantum swimlanes. Our HPC team is building CFD services and architecture that will integrate directly with ML and Simulation services. You will interface and work with some of the most experienced and talented people on the planet across these swimlanes.

The infrastructure team we are putting together requires individuals with:

• Focus on delivery and results
• Hunger to learn
• Ability to adapt
• Thriving in an environment with minimal training or instructions

You will be given top-level engineering goals and milestones, so you are responsible for figuring out and delivering what is required to get there. Folks with startup experience may be more comfortable in this position, as will people that have a mental itch that can never be fully scratched. While senior-level individuals often bring well-needed experience to the table, we are always open to less-experienced individuals who may have great attributes suitable for our team culture.

Depending on engineering objectives, priorities, and team member skill sets, in the future we may swap team members between responsibilities, or we may all team up together to finish one project more quickly, so you may have the opportunity to work on other projects (ML, Simulation, Quantum, etc) outside of HPC.

Qualifications

• At least 3-5 years of experience in HPC infrastructure, systems engineering, or a similar role.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles and scaling strategies.
• Deep knowledge of at least one of AWS, GCP, or Azure. Preferably AWS.
• Robust k8s (kubernetes) skills and networking expertise.
• Strong linux chops.
• Experience with data architecture and large-scale data processing.

Requirements

• Develop and implement scalable distributed systems for complex computing tasks.
• Scaling services and systems from smaller deployments of ~50 nodes into larger ~250+ node clusters.
• Using orchestration, configuration management, virtualization, linux, CLI, deploy tools, monitoring, APM.
• Monitor HPC systems performance and implement improvements to ensure scalability and efficiency.
• Optimizing engineering and deliverables to balance feature development, product quality, service reliability.

Benefits

• Part time position (hours vary based on project needs, but usually at least 20 hours per week minimum)
• Remote work environment
• 80% of your work schedule will be during the business time zones for Latin America and Canada.
• Some customer meetings will occur each week at non-standard / nighttime hours, as we currently support a global team across 3-4 continents.
