Insight Softmax is a leading organization in the fields of machine learning, data science, and high-performance computing (HPC). We are dedicated to providing creative solutions in computing technology to solve complex problems in various sectors including research, science, manufacturing, finance, and data analytics. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in building and maintaining high-performance computing services, expertise in distributed systems, and a passion for systems engineering, scaling, and storage architecture.

While the exact nature and purpose of this work is confidential, it is an extremely exciting set of projects and objectives that touch HPC, ML, Simulation, and Quantum swimlanes. Our HPC team is building CFD services and architecture that will integrate directly with ML and Simulation services. You will interface and work with some of the most experienced and talented people on the planet across these swimlanes.

The infrastructure team we are putting together requires individuals with focus on delivery and results, hunger to learn, ability to adapt, and also thrive in an environment where you will not be provided all the training nor instructions to get your deliverables done. While senior-level individuals often bring well-needed experience to the table, we are always open to less-experienced individuals who may have great attributes suitable for our team culture. Depending on engineering objectives, priorities, and team member skill sets, in the future we may swap team members between responsibilities, or we may all team up together to finish one project more quickly,



so you may have the opportunity to work on other projects (ML, Simulation, Quantum, etc) outside of HPC.

Design, build, and maintain high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. Scaling services and systems from smaller deployments of ~50 nodes into larger ~250+ node clusters. Using orchestration, configuration management, virtualization, linux, CLI, deploy tools, monitoring, APM.

Monitor HPC systems performance and implement improvements to ensure scalability and efficiency. Optimizing engineering and deliverables to balance feature development, product quality, service reliability. Deep knowledge of at least one of AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Preferably AWS. Robust k8s (kubernetes) skills and networking expertise. Strong linux chops.

Experience with data architecture and large-scale data processing. Scaling services and systems from single-region clusters into multi-regional deployments. Building on-prem systems (on-premise, data center, rack-n-stack, etc). Balancing business needs, product delivery dates, and customer satisfaction.

Bonus Experience and Skills: Backend work like SQL, API development, and serverless. Software engineering Python, and/or other programming languages Harnessing creativity, generating innovative products and features, and ensuring a delightful customer experience. Using linux as your primary desktop workstation environment.

Part time position (hours vary based on project needs, but usually at least 20 hours per week minimum) ~ Remote work environment ~Some customer meetings will occur each week at non-standard / nighttime hours, as we currently support a global team across 3-4 continents.
