Together with the senior IT engineer, you will build, test, and optimize the compute infrastructure. Your focus is on building and managing an HPC environment with significant CPU and GPU capacity and the possibility to upscale to Cloud environments. You will grow step-by-step in your role under the guidance of experienced colleagues. Your daily activities include: + Participation in the development and optimization of the HPC cluster. + Monitoring, logging, and documentation to ensure quality, performance, and reliability. + Collaborate with the senior IT engineer, researchers, and the Product Owner to realize new features. + Optimization of the compute cluster, workloads, and storage for speed, efficiency, and cost control. + Maintaining cluster (SLURM), servers, storage and virtual machines. + Answering user questions and troubleshooting. + Setting up and giving courses on HPC usage to scientists based on best practices. Work environment At the Department of Information Management, Research & Education (IM R&E), we are committed to helping researchers take their work to the next level - today and in the future. Our goal is to strengthen the scientific position of the Erasmus MC with an advanced IT infrastructure. Through various projects, we develop products and services that support researchers in collecting, processing and storing data efficiently and securely in a user-friendly manner. This way, we build a solid foundation for future scientific success. You will be part of a new multidisciplinary team. This team brings together experts from hardware, software development, data analytics and life sciences to create computing capacity to answer complex biological problems. As a pioneer within this team, you have the opportunity to help build the vision and organization of this team. You fall organizationally under the Information & Technology Directorate, and you are supervised by the Product Owner. ## Related Videos - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
