Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run. We want you, as a talented HPC Engineer, to design, build, and operate high-performance computing environments that power our space mission simulations, data analytics, and research workloads. Key Responsibilities You will be responsible for architecting, deploying, and maintaining HPC clusters across public cloud environments (e.g., AWS, or GCP) and potentially on-premises systems. You will also work closely with internal engineering teams to onboard users, support new application deployments, and ensure optimal cluster performance for mission-critical tasks. Architect, deploy, and maintain scalable HPC clusters in the cloud and/or on-prem environments. Develop infrastructure automation for cluster provisioning, configuration management, and scalability. Collaborate with software, flight, and data engineering teams to deploy HPC workloads efficiently. Manage resource scheduling, user access, and workload optimization to ensure high throughput and cost efficiency. Develop and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting for system performance and reliability. Implement best practices for data management, security, and compliance in multi-tenant HPC environments. Support users in onboarding, workflow optimization, and troubleshooting computational jobs. Evaluate emerging cloud/HPC technologies and recommend improvements to cluster architecture. What we would love to see from you In the role of an Engineer HPC and Cloud Computing, ideally, you will have the following: Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, engineering, physics, or related technical field. Experience with HPC systems administration or cloud-based compute infrastructure. Strong proficiency with public cloud platforms (AWS ParallelCluster, Azure Batch, or similar). Experience with containerization (Docker, Singularity) and orchestration (Kubernetes, Slurm, or PBS). Advanced scripting and automation in Python, Bash, or similar languages. Familiarity with distributed storage systems and parallel file systems (Lustre, EFS, FSx, etc.). Understanding of workload management, scheduling, and performance tuning for compute-intensive environments. Knowledge of MPI, GPU acceleration, and numerical methods for scientific workloads. Excellent communication and collaboration skills; ability to support diverse engineering teams. Why you should join us! What makes us special here at The Exploration Company and why we think you will enjoy working here is: We’re Agile - we make decisions fast whilst keeping our goals and systems in mind We’re Open and Collaborative - we are transparent about risks and obstacles, so that we can cooperate to overcome them We have a lot of Fun - we refuel our energy knowing we are democratising space. It’s a wonderful and rare opportunity, are YOU up for the challenge? We'd love to hear from you if you wish to be a part of our journey. Please submit your CV now for immediate consideration and we will be in touch shortly. The Exploration Company is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability status. Relocation assistance is provided for those willing to relocate including visa sponsorship where applicable.
