• Designs, develops, modifies, adapts, and implements short- and long-term solutions to EIT through new and existing applications, systems architecture, network systems and applications infrastructure with a focus on Kubernetes and cloud-native solutions.
• Responsible for providing application and infrastructure solutions that support complex, compute intensive workloads, parallel filesystems, low latency networks, and agile project management/DevOps.
• Partners with scientists, engineers, and other HPC infrastructure and application experts to provide HPC solutions that fully leverage computing resources on in the cloud.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement efficient workflows and tools within HPC environments that leverage modern tools: cloud computing (private/public), Cloud Native principles, Kubernetes, CICD, GitOps, Observability to meet our performance and scalability requirements.
• Collaborate with other teams in the organization, such as IMG R&D, data science, acquisition, data management, and others to understand their HPC requirements and needs to ensure that the HPC environment can support their work.
• Develop and maintain procedures for deploying, configuring, and monitoring HPC infrastructure (both software and hardware).
• Continually optimize the HPC environment to improve performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness by using DevOps methodologies and automation tools.
• Supports development and execution of cloud/container/kubernetes implementation strategy within organization’s existing IT infrastructure.
• Collaborate with colleagues in HPC Computing, Information Technology, and Upstream/Downstream business units to design and deliver HPC solutions in the cloud.
• Effectively and efficiently automate, optimize, troubleshoot, and resolve system problems and business solutions.
• Ensure all technical solutions are aligned with the vision, principles, architecture, and standards defined by the relevant architecture, security, and data teams.
• Demonstrate experience with four or more technologies: Linux, Parallel filesystems, Networking, Cloud, Containerization, Kubernetes, Python, Perl, Bash, Ansible, PowerShell
• Support of HPC infrastructures including multiple sub-environments such as visualisation, compute, storage, interconnects, code, and systems management.
• Maintain system software, utilising debugging tools for problem isolation; will perform software builds, software upgrades, and patch installation as needed.
• Use and share knowledge of HPC software development techniques, including compilers, languages, and programming models
