Job Specifications

HPC Engineer — Contract — UK

We're working with a major client on an ongoing HPC infrastructure project and need experienced HPC Engineers on contract.

This is a hands-on environment — building, configuring, and maintaining high-performance compute clusters at scale. You'll be working with job schedulers, high-speed interconnects, storage systems, and Linux infrastructure in a fast-paced delivery setting.

The kind of experience we're looking for includes:

Slurm or PBS job scheduling
InfiniBand or RoCE networking
Parallel file systems such as Lustre or GPFS
Bare-metal provisioning and configuration management
Cluster monitoring and observability
Linux systems administration at scale

You don't need all of these — but if several sound familiar, you're in the right space.

Whether you've built your experience in research, financial services, cloud, energy, defence, or national labs — if you know what good HPC looks like, we want to hear from you.

Day rates are competitive and dependent on experience. Inside or outside IR35 available. UK-based, with on-site requirements.
