HPC Architect
Based in Bolton
Up to £75,000 + 21 % bonus + strong package
This isn’t a support role. It’s ownership.
You’ll define how HPC is built, scaled and evolved across a complex engineering environment. Real influence, real systems, real impact.
If you’ve worked with large-scale Linux environments, high-throughput systems, or HPC clusters, this is where you step into architecture and shape the roadmap.
What you’ll be doing
-
Designing and evolving HPC infrastructure, compute, storage, networking
-
Owning architecture decisions across CPU, GPU and accelerator environments
-
Driving performance, scalability and future capability
-
Working with engineers, stakeholders and vendors to deliver real outcomes
What you’ll bring
-
Strong Linux infrastructure or HPC background
-
Experience with clusters, storage, high-speed networking
-
Exposure to tools like SLURM, Kubernetes, MPI, CUDA or similar
-
The ability to step back and design, not just build
Why this role stands out
-
Proper architecture ownership, not just “solution shaping”
-
High-impact engineering environment
-
Bonus up to 21%, strong pension, hybrid working
-
Long-term programme stability and investment
You’ll need to hold current British citizenship and be eligible for DV clearance.
If you want to move from “keeping systems running” to “deciding what gets built next”, this is that move.
