Help secure a national GPU supercomputing platform powering cutting-edge science!

I’m hiring a Senior Research Infrastructure Engineer (Cybersecurity) to help secure the systems behind Baskerville, the UK’s new £18M National (High Performance) Compute Resource, being built at the University of Birmingham.

Baskerville is a large-scale GPU supercomputing platform supporting researchers across the UK working on challenges such as:
• Clean energy and energy storage
• Environmental sustainability
• Advanced materials and critical minerals
• AI and data-intensive science
• Medicine and medical technologies

The interesting part of this role is solving the security challenges that come with large research computing platforms:
• Securing multi-tenant Linux and GPU clusters running arbitrary research workloads
• Protecting sensitive data while enabling open scientific collaboration
• Applying pragmatic security controls in HPC environments designed for performance and scale

You’ll help shape the security architecture of a national research computing platform, working closely with HPC engineers and researchers to design controls that work in real scientific environments.

If you enjoy working at the intersection of cyber security, Linux systems engineering and high-performance computing, I’d love to hear from you.

Happy to answer questions about the role or about Baskerville.

Please share with anyone in HPC, research computing, Linux infrastructure, or security engineering who might be interested.
