HPC Lead

The most significant breakthroughs in human history rarely happen in a vacuum. Behind every cured disease and every climate solution lies a hidden engine, a massive and complex world of high performance computing that turns raw data into life saving reality.

This company are tackling the greatest challenges facing the planet today, but our scientists can only go as far as our infrastructure allows. This is where your story begins.

As a Lead HPC Engineer, you are not just managing hardware; you are the master architect of a computational frontier. You understand that in the world of high stakes research, a millisecond of latency or a bottleneck in a storage cluster is not just a technical glitch, it is a delay in finding a potential cure.

You will step into a role that demands a rare blend of visionary strategy and hands on technical mastery, taking full ownership of an HPC roadmap that must evolve as fast as the science it supports.

Your day to day life will be a balance of high level orchestration and deep system craft. One hour you might be mentoring a talented team of engineers and fostering a culture where good enough is never the standard. The next, you are deep in the architecture of Slurm workloads or optimising parallel storage systems like GPFS to handle unprecedented scales of data.

You are the vital translator, the person who sits with world class researchers to turn their most ambitious scientific dreams into reliable and high performing technical realities. We are looking for someone who has lived and breathed Linux environments and high speed networking, but who also possesses the leadership spark to inspire a team.

You are the type of person who stays restless, always curious about the next emerging technology and eager to push our infrastructure ahead of the curve. You do not just want to maintain the status quo; you want to build the most resilient and innovative environment possible because you know exactly what is at stake.

There is no need to polish a CV just yet. Let us start with a conversation about what we can build together.
