Lead IT Engineer
PhysicsX, London
The role
As IT Lead Engineer, you'll own the infrastructure that lets our engineers push CPU/GPU-heavy physics simulations without hitting a wall. You'll bring HPC operator experience rather than generalist sysadmin breadth, paired with the calm to fix a boardroom AV fault and the judgment to mentor the engineer who caused it. This is a high-ownership role in a scale-up: you'll be building process as much as running it, and you'll be the person people escalate to when "it's slow" needs a real root cause, not a restart.
What you will do
- Own and evolve our HPC environment: cluster administration, job scheduling (e.g., Slurm/PBS/LSF), performance tuning, and capacity planning for compute-heavy engineering workloads.
