If you’re passionate about solving complex problems in a dynamic environment and want to push the limits of innovation, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect, Document, and Enhance Platform services, with a focus on Server, Storage, and Cloud Technologies.
• Integrate next-gen computing architectures, including GPUs, advanced CPUs, and modern HPC Storage systems to meet Performance & Scalability requirements.
• Conduct Deep Analysis to identify and resolve inefficiencies in compute and storage resource utilization, implementing optimizations at all levels.
• Provide detailed technical documentation to ensure clarity and reproducibility of solutions.
• Utilize Quantitative Metrics to monitor and optimize HPC System Performance, ensuring continuous improvement.
• Lead the Execution of Projects, Collaborating with both internal and external stakeholders to deliver high-impact solutions on time and within scope.
• Offer L3 technical support, diagnosing and addressing complex performance and availability issues across the platform.
• Proactively assess and address potential issues before they impact system stability or performance.
• Develop Tailored Solutions to meet evolving Business and Infrastructure requirements.

Required Qualifications:

• 10+ years of Hands-on Exp .working with Linux-based operating systems (RHEL/Rocky/CentOS/OEL preferred), specializing in system operations, engineering, and performance tuning.
• Expert knowledge of High-Performance Computing Systems, including memory, CPU, and network optimization in high-bandwidth environments.
• Proven ability to identify and mitigate performance bottlenecks across various layers of the stack—operating systems, software architecture, HPC storage systems, and networking.
• In-depth understanding of Network Protocols (TCP, UDP, RDMA) and Advanced Techniques for server and Network Tuning to maximize performance.
• Expertise in Physical Server Architecture, understanding CPU Chipset Architectures (Intel/AMD/ARM) and selecting appropriate hardware to Optimize System Performance.
• Hands-on experience with HPC Job Schedulers (e.g., Slurm, RunAI, Bright Cluster Manager) and their optimization.
• Programming Proficiency in Python and/or C++, with a Strong grasp of Software Development Principles and Performance Tuning.
• Exceptional organizational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and thrive in a high-pressure, dynamic environment.
• Strong Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking skills, with the ability to resolve Complex, Ambiguous issues independently.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Configuration Management Tools such as Ansible, Chef, or Terraform to automate infrastructure management.
• Familiarity with Network Switch Architectures and working knowledge of different switch vendors.
• Practical experience with KDB (Q) for High-Frequency Data management.
• Knowledge of machine learning frameworks such as XGBoost, LightGBM, PyTorch, or TensorFlow, and experience in debugging and enhancing applications built with these tools.
• Understanding of Kubernetes and integrating HPC workloads into containerized environments.
