With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way – responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in. Job Requirements 2–5 years of experience operating or supporting HPC clusters in a production or IOC/NOC environment, including incident triage, change execution, and coordination with engineering teams. Working knowledge of Kubernetes (bare-metal a plus) sufficient to triage workloads, interpret cluster state, and execute documented operational procedures. Operational experience with the Slurm workload manager — job triage, queue and node health checks, and escalation of scheduler issues to engineering. Familiarity with HPC monitoring and observability tooling for alerting, log triage, runbook execution, and proactive issue detection. Demonstrated track record of incident response, root cause analysis, and contributing to operational improvements in complex production systems. Post-secondary education in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field is an asset; equivalent hands‑on operational experience is equally valued. Relevant certifications are advantageous — e.g., CKA/CKAD, Linux+/RHCSA, ITIL Foundation, CompTIA Server+, or HPC/GPU vendor certifications. Working understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and how they integrate with on‑premises HPC environments. Working knowledge of the network and storage components common to HPC — InfiniBand/Ethernet fabrics, scale‑out storage (e.g., Weka, VAST), and high‑throughput interconnects — sufficient to triage issues and engage the right escalation path.
