HPC is an important and technically challenging compute domain, with specialised tooling and a very high expectation of precision, efficiency and automation. This role is for a software engineer to join our HPC team to deliver an outstanding HPC experience - from bare metal to public cloud - as part of the broader Ubuntu platform.

We are looking for a range of skills and experience, and will work on everything from the kernel to Debian packaging, but the core focus will be on Python software development for automation in the HPC sphere. Our goal is to provide a world-class experience for HPC cluster operation.

You will be part of the team that develops charms to deploy and manage HPC clusters and provide HPC software packages.

To succeed in this role, you must be outstanding at maths and sciences, have built high-quality software, ideally have experience working on open source projects, and seek an engineering role with a company that provides mission-critical products globally. Familiarity with the open source environment and a desire to build community-driven products are essential. Experience with high performance computing environments and related technologies such as Infiniband, RDMA, CUDA, MPI, Slurm, Lustre, Singularity, and experience with Docker and public cloud image design are highly advantageous.

Location: This role is remote, based in EMEA or the Americas regions.

What your day will look like
  1. Write high-quality, rigorously designed Python software
  2. Collaborate proactively with a globally distributed team
  3. Debug issues and produce high-quality code to resolve them
  4. Contribute to technical documentation outlining best practices for high-quality operators
  5. Discuss ideas and collaborate on finding effective solutions
What we are looking for in you
  • A Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Computer Science, STEM, or related fields
  • Experience in writing modern, maintainable Python code
  • A passion for technology and working with talented individuals
  • Curiosity, flexibility, articulation, and accountability
  • Soft skills such as being passionate, enterprising, thoughtful, and self-motivated
  • Interest and experience in two or more of the following: Linux, Kubernetes, Public cloud, OpenStack, LXC/LXD, Python, Go, Debian packaging
  • An exceptional academic record from high school and university (preferred)
  • Willingness to travel up to 4 times a year for internal events
Additional Skills That You Might Also Bring
  • Experience operating HPC clusters in production
  • Experience with Infiniband, RDMA, CUDA, MPI, Slurm, Lustre, and/or Singularity
What we offer you

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance for worldwide compensation. We revisit compensation regularly to recognize outstanding performance. Benefits include:

  • Distributed work environment with biannual in-person team sprints
  • USD 2,000 annual learning and development budget
  • Annual compensation review
  • Recognition rewards
  • Annual holiday leave
  • Maternity and paternity leave
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Travel opportunities to meet colleagues
  • Priority travel passes and upgrades for company events
