• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that automate building and deploying software images.
• Make HPC environments and compute resources reliably reachable from other internally built applications.
• Help users get access to HPC environments, applications and computational workflows and use them effectively.
• Investigate and fix reported errors, issues and performance problems affecting HPC users and supported applications.
• Write and update HPC documentation for administrators and users, covering installation, configuration standards, usage and troubleshooting.
• Explain technical problems, deviations and recommendations to stakeholders, and coordinate with infrastructure, application and research teams on solutions.

Requirements

• A bachelor's degree in computer science, computational science, information technology or a related field plus 2 years of experience, or a master's degree with no additional experience required.
• Experience running computational software on on-premises or cloud-based HPC systems.
• Familiarity with Linux and the command line.
• Experience with HPC schedulers or orchestration platforms such as Slurm or Kubernetes.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot software installation, configuration, integration and runtime problems.
• Experience with software, package and environment tools such as conda, mamba, EasyBuild or Spack.
• Experience containerizing applications and environments with Docker or Apptainer.
• Familiarity with environment modules on HPC systems.
• Experience using CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions to automate workflows.
• Strong collaboration, communication, documentation and problem-solving skills.
