Job Description

n

We are a technology company at the forefront of high-performance computing (HPC) with a strong foundation in applied physics. Our innovative hardware and software solutions for the global technology and resource sectors enable our clients to leverage large and complex data sets.

n

We operate three world-class green supercomputer clusters, running a large suite of scientific applications. The research and development team of mathematicians, geophysicists, and software engineers are responsible for creating and maintaining this suite of signal-processing and subsurface imaging tools.

n

We’re looking for talented low-level software developers who are keen to apply their skills to a new scientific domain. We operate a mixed C / C++ / Python / Java environment and make heavy use of CPUs (incl. Intel Xeon Phi and its AVX-512 instruction set) and GPUs (via CUDA). You'll leverage your experience to determine when it's worth it to operate in C, to decide when there's value in hand-vectorising, and when it's a waste of time. When submitting your application, you'll show that you have an attention to detail by including ‘Shibboleth’ in your cover letter.
