Required Skills and Experience:

• Meaningful experience leading progressive architecture and platform engineering initiatives at scale in a senior or managerial role.
• Demonstrated expertise in efficient High-Performance Computing/Throughout (HPC/HTC), with a deep understanding of scheduling, tooling, licensing, data and engineering processes (ideally EDA) for compute-intensive workloads across diverse platforms.
• Advancing datacenter and cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) hybrid platforms with autonomous composable infrastructure through Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and dynamically assembled via policy.
• Experience with data lakes and other data storage mechanisms utilising S3 (e.g. Artifactory, LakeFS, Databricks)
• Solid grounding in modern software development practices (SDLC, DevOps, version control, automated testing, CI/CD, code review, collaborative workflows, developer experience).
• A background with system observability (Dynatrace, Open Telemetry), SRE and security (e.g., TLS, OAuth, SPIFFE, zero-trust models), ensuring resilience, self-healing and compliance.
• Knowledge of enhancing engineering environments through insights driven automation, machine learning or artificial intelligence.

In Return:
We are proud to have a set of behaviours that reflect our culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together to defy the ordinary and shape the extraordinary.
