Lead HPC Engineer

£75k - £85k per annum
Full-time

Empower research changing the world as a Lead HPC Engineer.

Join a globally renowned life sciences organisation tackling some of the planet’s most critical challenges—from fighting life-threatening diseases to addressing the climate crisis. By blending groundbreaking research with cutting-edge technology, they’re driving scientific discovery to make a real difference in people’s lives and the health of the planet.

As a Lead HPC Engineer, you’ll be at the forefront of designing, optimising, and managing advanced computational infrastructure. You’ll have a solid grasp of all things HPC, Linux, Slurm, and storage systems (bonus points if you’re familiar with GPFS). Your expertise will ensure the systems are reliable, scalable, and high-performing, ready to support researchers in achieving groundbreaking discoveries.

In this role, you’ll strike a balance between big-picture strategy and hands-on technical work. You’ll own the HPC roadmap, shaping its future to align with our research priorities and evolving needs. This isn’t just about maintaining systems; it’s about pushing boundaries and ensuring the infrastructure stays ahead of the curve.

As a leader, you’ll guide and mentor a talented team of engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. You’ll be the bridge between our researchers and technical teams, helping translate complex scientific needs into tailored, scalable solutions. Your proactive problem-solving and curiosity about emerging technologies will be key to keeping our infrastructure at the forefront of innovation.

We’re looking for someone with deep expertise in HPC environments, including: Linux systems, workload management, parallel storage, and high-speed networking. You’ll also bring strong leadership skills, inspiring and managing teams, while rolling up your sleeves to tackle technical challenges. Clear communication and a collaborative mindset are a must as you’ll be working closely with multidisciplinary teams to drive our mission forward.

This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a vibrant, mission-driven environment where your work has a direct impact on global health and environmental challenges. You’ll help shape the strategic direction of our HPC operations while collaborating with some of the brightest minds in science.

If you’re ready to lead, innovate, and make a difference, let’s chat. No need for a CV at this stage. Just reach out, and we’ll start the conversation.
