Ph3Project background /h3 pWe are seeking a versatile and driven DevOps Engineer to help design, build, and operate the software‑defined infrastructure and services powering advanced scientific computing and AI/ML workloads at scale. /p pYou will work at the intersection of systems engineering, software engineering, cloud‑native infrastructure, and high‑performance computing (HPC), contributing to platforms and services used by researchers and engineers tackling complex scientific and AI challenges. /p pWe value strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity, adaptability, and willingness to learn more than a perfect initial match of technical requirements. We welcome engineers from diverse backgrounds who are eager to contribute and grow. If you are motivated by challenging technical environments and enjoy understanding systems deeply, we strongly encourage you to apply even if your experience does not cover every area listed below. /p pWe are offering a contract binitially limited to two years /b, which will provide the opportunity to contribute to a fast‑evolving AI landscape in which CSCS plays a key role and to support high‑impact initiatives both nationally and internationally. This includes contributions to the Swiss AI Initiative and similar programs, such as lending support for the development and release of the Apertus models. /p pThe initial two‑year contract could potentially be extended or even become permanent. /p h3Job description /h3 ul liDesign, deploy, automate, and operate scalable infrastructure and cloud‑native platform services /li liContribute to Kubernetes‑based AI/ML and HPC platforms, including CI/CD, GitOps, observability, security, and operational tooling /li liCollaborate with researchers and engineers to support complex workflows, troubleshoot production environments, and improve reliability and performance /li liContribute to platform engineering, automation, and developer productivity initiatives across evolving systems and services /li liThe technologies and areas below illustrate the breadth of our environment and interests.
