HPC (High-Performance Computing) Consultant

Position Name HPC (High-Performance Computing) Consultant

Location Remote (Occasional on-site visits to nearest customer (Meta) offices)

Type of hiring Fulltime

Salary $140K/ Annum + Benefits

Note: The client is looking for candidates with strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Python, and High-Performance Computing (HPC), as these skills are critical for the role.

Job Description:

This role is Kubernetes-heavy. You'll operate multi-cloud platform infrastructure where misconfigurations or failed upgrades translate directly into thousands of lost GPU-hours. The clusters are large enough that novel failure modes are routine.

Responsibilities

• Operate Kubernetes platforms (EKS, CKS, GKE) at significant scale across providers. You're responsible for cluster lifecycle, node pool management, networking policy, and maintaining stability during rapid growth.
• Provision HPC infrastructure through CI/CD system across AWS, CoreWeave, Google Cloud Platform, and OCI, with additional providers to be expanded in the near future.
• Manage job scheduling to allocate GPU compute across training and inference workloads.
• Define and maintain SLIs/SLOs. Build monitoring and alerting. Participate in severity escalation response and author post-incident reviews.
• Coordinate daily with Networking, Storage, Security, and AI/ML platform teams.

Requirements

• 4+ Years in infrastructure engineering, cloud platforms, or HPC.
• Kubernetes is the core requirement. You should have hands-on experience operating clusters at meaningful scale: node pool sizing, scheduler debugging, CNI troubleshooting, and rolling upgrades across large fleets. Candidates whose K8s experience is limited to small or local environments are unlikely to be a fit.
• Terraform proficiency. You'll write and review infrastructure-as-code daily.
• Working knowledge of AWS (EC2, S3, EFS, FSx for Lustre).
• Python for tooling and automation.
