Key Responsibilities:
Lead the Design & Build:
Develop scalable, high-performance architectures leveraging AWS HPC services such as AWS ParallelCluster, FSx for Lustre, EFA (Elastic Fabric Adapter), AWS Batch, and EC2 HPC instances.
Solution Implementation:
Deploy, automate, and optimize HPC clusters and data pipelines for compute- and memory-intensive workloads, including modeling, simulation, genomics, CFD, AI/ML training, and financial risk analysis.
Performance Optimization:
Benchmark, tune, and monitor system performance for compute, storage, and networking components to achieve optimal throughput and cost efficiency.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC):
Implement reproducible environments using Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation to streamline provisioning, CI/CD, and configuration management.
Data and Storage Management:
Design high-throughput parallel storage solutions using S3, FSx for Lustre, EBS, and EFS; integrate with hybrid and on-prem HPC environments.
Security and Compliance:
Apply AWS Well-Architected Framework and HPC security best practices to ensure compliance with enterprise, academic, or government standards.
Collaboration and Leadership:
Partner with application scientists, DevOps teams, and business stakeholders to translate workload requirements into optimized HPC architectures. Provide mentoring and technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams.
Documentation and Knowledge Sharing:
Develop architecture diagrams, reference implementations, and technical playbooks to support ongoing HPC adoption and operations.
Required Skills & Experience:
8-10+ years of experience in high-performance computing, distributed systems, or cloud architecture.
Proven expertise in AWS HPC services (EC2 HPC, ParallelCluster, Batch, FSx for Lustre, EFA).
Strong knowledge of Linux systems administration, networking (Infiniband, EFA, MPI), and job schedulers (Slurm, Torque, PBS Pro).
Hands-on experience with automation and IaC (Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation).
Scripting and development proficiency (Python, Bash, or similar).
Experience with monitoring tools (CloudWatch, Grafana, Prometheus) and cost-optimization strategies.
AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional or AWS Certified Advanced Networking preferred.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
Preferred Attributes:
Experience with GPU workloads, containerized HPC (ECS/EKS with ParallelCluster), or hybrid/on-prem to cloud HPC migrations.
Strong communication and presentation skills for executive and technical audiences.
Demonstrated thought leadership in HPC strategy, performance benchmarking, and AWS innovation.
