indivHR | We 💚 IT Recruiting
Senior HPC Engineer / HPC Architect (m/f/d)
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU TO DO
High Performance Computing | Linux | Scheduling | Munich Area
Is High Performance Computing more than just Linux administration to you? Do you think in terms of clusters, workloads, latencies, and resources – not individual servers? Then this could be exactly the right environment for you.
For a leading international consulting and technology environment, we are looking for several experienced SENIOR HPC SPECIALISTS.
📍Munich Area.
We are looking for several Senior HPC Engineers / HPC Architects who not only operate complex cluster environments but also understand, optimize, and develop them further.
You will work in an environment where performance, stability, and scalability are business-critical – and where deep technical understanding is valued.
We are not looking for "pure Linux admins".
We are looking for people who understand how HPC workloads function – and who think holistically about scheduling, performance, and infrastructure.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
- Operation and further development of High Performance Computing clusters
- Linux System Engineering (RHEL / SLES / Ubuntu)
- HPC Job Scheduling & Resource Management
- Performance optimization of compute and storage workloads
- Support for architecture and transformation projects
- Automation of provisioning, configuration, and health checks (Python / Bash)
- Monitoring, Logging, and Observability (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk)
- Analysis of bottlenecks in network, storage, or scheduling
YOUR TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
- Several years of experience in Linux system engineering
- Experience in the HPC environment or with comparable high-performance setups
- Expertise in HPC Job Scheduling / Resource Management (e.g., Slurm, LSF, PBS Pro, or comparable).
You understand concepts like partitions, queues/QoS, fairshare, accounting, job arrays, and reservations.
The specific tool is less important than your understanding of scheduling logic and resource control.
- Knowledge of High-Throughput / Low-Latency Networking (e.g., InfiniBand, RDMA)
- Scripting with Python and Bash
- Location preferred: Munich Area (hybrid setup possible)
- Experience with Distributed/Parallel Filesystems (e.g., Lustre) is a plus
- German language skills desirable
WHY THIS ROLE IS EXCITING
- Strategically relevant HPC environment with high visibility
- Not purely an operations role – but real opportunities for shaping
- Technically demanding infrastructure
- Collaboration with highly experienced architects and specialists
- Long-term perspective in a stable enterprise setup
