Description
Hello, let’s meet!
We are Xebia – a place where experts grow. For nearly two decades now, we’ve been developing digital solutions for clients from many industries and places across the globe. Among the brands we’ve worked with are UPS, McLaren, Aviva, Deloitte, and many, many more.
We’re passionate about Cloud-based solutions. So much so, that we have a partnership with three of the largest Cloud providers in the business – Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). We even became the first AWS Premier Consulting Partner in Poland.
Formerly we were known as PGS Software. In 2021, we joined Xebia Group – a family of interlinked companies driven by the desire to make a difference in the world of technology.
Xebia stands for innovation, talented team members, and technological excellence. Xebia means worldwide recognition, and thought leadership. This regularly provides us with the opportunity to work on global, innovative projects.
Our mission can be captured in one word: Authority. We want to be recognized as the authority in our field of expertise.
What makes us stand out? It’s the little details, like our attitude, dedication to knowledge, and the belief in people’s potential – emphasizing every team members development. Obviously, these things are not easy to present on paper – so, make sure to visit us to see it with your own eyes!
Now, we’ve talked a lot about ourselves – but we’d love to hear more about you.
You will be:

designing, implementing, and managing scalable and secure HPC infrastructure solutions on GCP,
optimizing SLURM configurations and workflows to ensure efficient use of cloud resources,
managing and optimizing HPC environments, focusing on workload scheduling, job efficiency, and scaling SLURM clusters,
automating cluster deployment, configuration, and maintenance tasks using scripting languages (Python, Bash) and automation tools (Ansible, Terraform),
integrating HPC software stacks using tools like Spack for dependency management and easy installation of HPC libraries and applications,
deploying, managing, and troubleshooting applications using MPI, OpenMP, and other parallel computing frameworks on GCP instances,
collaborating with engineering, support teams, and stakeholders to ensure smooth migration and ongoing operation of HPC workloads,
providing expert-level support for performance tuning, job scheduling, and cluster resource optimization,
staying current with emerging HPC technologies and GCP services to continually improve HPC cluster performance and cost efficiency.
Requirements
Your profile:
