Wolverine is seeking an experienced HPC Engineer to join our team and help build our next-generation HPC infrastructure. In this critical role, you will be instrumental in designing, building, optimizing, and maintaining the high-performance computing and storage systems that are the backbone of our research operations. You will empower quantitative researchers to develop cutting-edge trading strategies and train models on vast amounts of data. The ideal candidate is extremely self-motivated, loves getting their hands dirty, and is passionate about designing cutting-edge systems.
What You'll Do:
- Collaborate with quants, developers, and other infrastructure teams to design and evolve our next-generation HPC infrastructure
- Continuously identify and resolve performance bottlenecks within our HPC clusters to ensure maximum throughput for research workloads.
- Develop robust automation tools and scripts for provisioning, configuration management, and system monitoring.
- Provide expert-level troubleshooting and root cause analysis for complex hardware and software issues across the HPC stack.
- Work cross-functionally with quantitative researchers, traders, software developers, and other engineering teams to understand their computational needs and provide effective solutions.
- Work with quantitative researchers and software engineers to develop and expand simulated trading environments.
- Research, evaluate, and integrate new technologies and methodologies to enhance our HPC capabilities.
What We’re Looking For:
- Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related highly quantitative or technical field.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience designing, implementing, and managing large-scale HPC environments.
- Exceptional proficiency in Linux system administration and preferably a deep understanding of the Linux kernel.
- Strong programming and scripting skills in Python and Bash are essential. Experience with C++ is a significant plus.
- In-depth knowledge of parallel file systems (e.g., Lustre, GPFS).
- Experience with job scheduling systems (e.g., Slurm, Grid Engine).
- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals and experience with high-speed interconnects (e.g., InfiniBand, RDMA).
- Familiarity with performance profiling tools and techniques.
- Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills with a keen attention to detail.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Familiarity with GPU and Machine Learning workloads is a plus.
A Statement on Prior Trading Experience:
With an above average rate of tenure for our engineers, we value individuals who innately strive to push boundaries and pursue constant improvement. Given a long-term focus, the ability to innovate, challenge limits, and deliver lasting impact matters far more to us than prior exposure to the trading ecosystem.
