Einleitungstext

The Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) develops and operates cutting-edge, High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems as an essential service facility for science. The centre enables world‑class research through its scientific user lab, which is available to domestic and international researchers in academia, industry, and the business sector. The centre is operated by ETH Zurich and has offices in Lugano (headquarter) and Zurich.

ProjekthintergrundWith

With the convergence of HPC and cloud technology, supercomputing service providers like CSCS strive to improve our service portfolios that focus on large, complex, and diverse scientific and engineering applications. Effectively providing performant and capable storage systems supporting the needs of HPC platforms running on a multi-tenant infrastructure is complex and challenging engineering work.

Aufgaben-/Stellenbeschreibung

The main goal of this position is to implement and operate HPC storage services in a multi-tenant infrastructure. As a Storage Engineer you will directly contribute to the designing, implementation, maintenance, and documentation of storage services for HPC.

Your contributions will directly impact the development and enhancement of HPC systems, thereby enhancing overall system functionality and efficiency.

Ihr Profil

You have a sound knowledge of

• Linux administration skills
• Generic filesystem aspects and functions (data, metadata, block-size etc.)
• Storage redundancy technologies (RAID, D-RAID, EC etc.)
• Backup solutions (DMF, TSM, Veeam) and backup concepts
• Object Storage concepts and S3 service usage/implementation
• Automation tools and framework, including CI/CD processes and ecosystem (e.g., Gitlab CI, HashiCorp Vault)

Experience with the following is preferred, though there will be ample opportunities to learn and gain more experience with all of these skills on the job:

• Experience with parallel file systems (GPFS, Lustre)
• Experience with Ceph Storage Clusters
• Experience with versioning systems and CI/CD workflows such as ArgoCD
• Experience with physical servers automated installation systems such as OpenCHAMI, MAAS, or Foreman
• Experience with developing Ansible configurations
• Experience developing services on top of Kubernetes

You should have a bachelor’s or higher degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
