HPC Systems Engineer

Job Description

Day to Day:

This engineer will focus on maximizing the performance of high-compute systems supporting advanced workloads, including AI-driven applications. Day-to-day responsibilities include analyzing how systems behave under heavy processing loads, optimizing performance across CPU and GPU architectures, and working with engineering teams to push hardware to its operational limits. The role requires a strong understanding of how compute systems function at a system level-particularly around multithreading and parallel execution-while evaluating software and system configurations to ensure optimal performance. This individual will support ongoing modernization efforts and help enable future AI capabilities across the platform.

Compensation:

$35/hr to $40/hr

Benefit packages for this role will start on the 31st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401K retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
