Description:
The eScience Center at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) develops and operates large-scale IT infrastructure dedicated to research in all fields. The center is a leading national provider of supercomputing resources and facilities, often provided in close collaboration with other Danish universities.
Our mission is to support research via the development of advanced IT infrastructure and by providing support and expertise to researchers. The key areas of the center are High Performance Computing (HPC), Cloud Services, Data Analytics and Data Management Services. We assist a large research community, educational and government institutions, as well as commercial companies. The center has developed a user-friendly and advanced private cloud system called UCloud, which is the core of the DeiC national system for interactive HPC and cloud computing.
We address stimulating new technological challenges. The SDU eScience Center offers a research-like environment where we encourage the study of innovative solutions and personal growth. We firmly believe in open-source and web technology as means to reach our goals.
We are currently looking to fill a junior position within the infrastructure team. We are looking for candidates with experience in Linux systems administration and a strong desire and ability to learn. The successful candidate will work closely with the current senior systems administrator, who has a long-time expertise in scientific research, programming, and Linux systems administration.
While this position does offer flexibility and the possibility of remote work, the candidate is expected to be on-site in Odense.
JOB DESCRIPTION:
We seek candidates with experience in the following areas:
- Linux systems administration
- High Performance Computing (hardware and software)
- Kubernetes (on-prem)
- Automated deployment (e.g. via Ansible)
- Networking (ethernet and infiniband)
- Storage systems
- Cloud computing
- Systems development
- Continuous development and integration
- Data management
Experience in at least two of the above areas is required, and candidates with previous experience in high performance computing, Linux systems administration, and Kubernetes will be strongly preferred.
Tasks under the infrastructure team include, but are not limited to, configuration of hardware, network, and software; automated deployment using Ansible; configuration of virtualized and container-based environments, such as Kubernetes; operating and maintaining distributed storage systems, such as IBM Spectrum Scale, Ceph and WEKAIO; configuration of Linux systems and common services.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Proven experience in at least two of the areas in the job description.
- Strong background in Linux systems.
- Programming skills (e.g. in Go, Python, bash, …).
- Proven ability to work productively both independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team balancing divergent objectives involving research, code development, supporting software and consulting with scientists.
OTHER RELEVANT QUALIFICATIONS (NOT REQUIRED):
- MSc or PhD in a relevant field of science or engineering.
- Experience with DevOps practices (e.g. git and GitHub, continuous integration and deployment, software documentation).
