DevOps Engineer

We're hiring a Senior GCP DevOps HPC Engineer to join a high-performing engineering team working on large-scale, cloud-based HPC environments. This role is ideal for an experienced HPC engineer who enjoys leading complex migrations, designing scalable architectures, and optimising high-performance workloads in Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

You'll take ownership of migrating on-prem SLURM HPC clusters to GCP, while acting as a technical authority across HPC, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead end-to-end migrations of SLURM-based HPC clusters from on-prem to GCP
• Design, build, and operate secure, scalable HPC architectures in the cloud
• Optimise SLURM scheduling, workload performance, and resource utilisation
• Automate cluster deployment and operations using Terraform, Ansible, Python, and Bash
• Manage HPC software stacks using Spack
• Deploy and support parallel workloads using MPI, OpenMP, and related frameworks
• Troubleshoot performance issues and drive continuous optimisation
• Collaborate with engineering teams and stakeholders in a fully remote environment

Essential

• 5+ years' experience in HPC environments (SLURM, MPI, parallel workloads)
• Strong Linux systems expertise in performance-critical environments
• Hands-on experience running or migrating HPC workloads in the cloud (GCP preferred)
• Solid experience with Terraform and Ansible
• Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash)
• Deep understanding of GCP services (GCE, VPC, Cloud Storage)

Nice to Have

• GCP certifications (DevOps / Cloud Engineer)
• Experience with Preemptible VMs and cloud cost-optimisation strategies
• HPC performance profiling and debugging tools
• Containers in HPC (Singularity, Docker)
• Exposure to Spark or big data tooling
