Pdt Partners Cloud Computing Engineer at PDT Partners responsible for designing and operating cloud-based HPC systems supporting research and trading. Focus on automation, capacity management, and platform reliability.
Responsibilities
We are a small flat team sitting at the cross-section of research, implementation, and platform infrastructure. Our team responsibilities span many areas. Including:
Design and implementation of cloud-based HPC systems. Our projects involve equal parts engineering and operations for success in our fast-moving environment. You will be expected to conceive and implement projects small and large in the intersection of HPC scheduling, metrics, containerization, software distribution, accelerated compute performance/efficiency, cloud architecture.
Running our HPC plant day-to-day. Our research environment is up 24/7, and we want to keep it that way. Everybody on the team contributes to the support of our platform, which thankfully is light because of our automation and quality work.
Implementing automation. We will always choose to work smart over working hard. You will be responsible for conception and implementation of automation from CI/CD pipelines to production metrics and monitoring of our cloud HPC platform.
Obsessive User Focus. All members of the team are expected to partner with researchers and engineers to deliver high-quality cloud HPC systems that are efficient and reliable. This includes leading projects to evolve it as our needs change.
Capacity management and benchmark optimization. Our demand for scale and performance is constant and involves challenging optimization problems for workloads critical to research and trading
