Stanford Research Computing Center | Stanford, CA (next to Palo Alto) | Full-time | Three positions | HYBRID/ONSITE

The Stanford Research Computing Center (https://srcc.stanford.edu) is a collaboration between University IT and the Vice Provost and Dean of Research. We operate HPC environments for researchers, we do one-time consultations on projects (from software and pipelines, to data management, to physical building design and fit-out), and we provide contract support for individual Labs, Departments, and Schools.

We have five open positions:

• Research Storage Systems Developer: We're launching an on-prem tape-based S3-speaking archival storage service. It's going to use Lustre, Phobos, and MinIO. We're looking for someone to help with software development and administration of this new service. Keywords: Go, MinIO, S3, Python. You'll be working with the folks who run our Oak "Cheap and Deep" storage service.

• Computational Consultant: This is a generalist position for someone with a lot of education or experience. You'll work with researchers—from Nobel-winning Faculty to new graduate students—to map their needs to our available services, and to identify directions for us to grow. You'll be working with other consultants in our group, as well as cluster admins. Keywords: R, Python, Jupyter, conda, SLURM, OpenMP, MPI.

• Research Computing Systems Specialist, SDSS: The Doerr School of Sustainability is one of our largest clients. They use our primary research cluster (Sherlock); and they also have their own cluster, which you'll be responsible for. You'll have a lot of contact with Doerr School Faculty, Graduate Students, and Postdocs. Keywords: Python, C, Fortran, MPI, and large jobs. You'll be working with our in-group SME, and the two sysadmins who run Sherlock. If you're a sysadmin, but not an HPC sysadmin, you should still apply.

• Stanford CryoEM Center (cEMc) Computational Resources and Data Management Specialist: Within the School of Medicine, this is a new Center, providing cryoEM equipment and services to researchers. cEMc is looking for someone who ideally has both cryoEM and Linux experience, who can advise researchers on their workflows and pipelines. You'll be a bridge between the researchers and us, helping to design workflows and pipelines that automate things as much as possible, within the limits of a shared HPC environment.

• Data Center Engineer: You're part of the SRCC, but based full-time at our primary research data center in Menlo Park (on the SLAC campus). This position includes everything from racking and cabling to maintaining and troubleshooting power distribution (415v Starline bus), UPS (spinning-mass), generators, VFDs, air handlers, chillers, PLCs, and the like.

All four positions are hybrid, except the data center engineer is fully onsite. If you don't already live in the Bay Area, I believe we provide a relocation incentive. Depending on where you live, we provide free transit passes. Unfortunately, if you don't commute, you will have to pay for parking for the days you're on-site. Work benefits are all publicly documented at https://cardinalatwork.stanford.edu/benefits-rewards. We always get two weeks off around Christmas, through you'll have to spend one or two days on-call.
