GCP DevOps HPC Engineer (Senior)
About the Role
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 adecuado 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
What We’re Looking For
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
Why Apply
- Work on complex, high-impact HPC systems at scale - Influence architecture and technical decisions - Fully remote role based in Spain - Collaborative, engineering-led culture with strong technical ownership
