HPC Storage Engineer | Experienced

Position: HPC Storage Engineer | Experienced Hire
Overview

We are looking for an experienced HPC Storage Engineer to design, implement, and optimize the storage and data movement infrastructure that underpins our high-performance computing (HPC) environment. This role focuses on distributed and parallel file systems, storage systems, and large-scale data movement, ensuring reliable, high-throughput access to data for compute-intensive workloads.

You will work closely with HPC platform engineers, compute and networking teams, and application users to deliver scalable, performant, and resilient storage solutions that tightly integrate the storage layer with compute nodes.

What you'll do Design, deploy, and operate HPC storage systems and parallel/distributed file systems (e.g., Lustre, GPFS/IBM Spectrum Scale, BeeGFS, Ceph)
Own data movement workflows across environments, including data ingest, replication, tiering, and archiving

Optimize file system and storage performance for large-scale parallel workloads

Design and tune load-balancing strategies across storage targets, metadata services, and data movement pipelines to ensure even utilization, high throughput, and predictable performance at scale

Troubleshoot storage, I/O, and data movement issues across HPC compute clusters

Develop and maintain automation for storage provisioning, monitoring, and lifecycle management

Partner with compute and networking teams to ensure end-to-end performance and reliability

Advise users and application teams on best practices for I/O patterns, data layout, and performance tuning

Evaluate and integrate new storage technologies and architectures as requirements evolve

What we’re looking for

Hands-on experience with parallel or distributed file systems in production environments

Strong understanding of Linux systems administration

Experience with high-performance I/O, data locality, and throughput optimization

Proficiency in large-scale distributed systems development, preferably in C++Proven ability to troubleshoot complex performance and reliability issues across storage and compute stacks

Experience with data transfer and movement tools

Familiarity with object storage and hierarchical storage management (HSM)
Experience integrating storage with HPC schedulers (e.g., Slurm) and compute workflows

Background supporting scientific, ML/AI, or other data-intensive workloads
