- Designing orchestration systems to manage job scheduling, compute clusters, and observability across multiple environments
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver a secure and seamless platform experience
- Helping shape the direction of a platform that supports high-performance computing at scale
What they're looking for:
- Strong engineering fundamentals and experience working on complex back-end or infrastructure systems
- 2+ years of hands-on experience coding in Go
- Proven experience designing distributed systems
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools (GitLab, GitHub Actions, etc.)
- Knowledge of security tooling (Vault, AWS IAM, LDAP, etc.)
- Experience building and deploying on cloud platforms (especially AWS)
- Bonus: interest in HPC environments, compute infrastructure, or data centres
This is a high-impact engineering role with plenty of autonomy, technical breadth, and cross-team exposure.
