The posting

ABOUT NEXGEN CLOUD

NexGen Cloud is a fast-growing GPU cloud and AI infrastructure business. We’re the company behind Hyperstack — a self-serve, on-demand cloud platform built for high-performance AI, HPC, and compute-heavy workloads. Powered by 100% renewable energy and NVIDIA architecture, Hyperstack gives teams from AI startups to enterprise the compute they need, without the cost or complexity of legacy cloud.

We move fast, solve hard problems, and build things that matter. If you want ownership, real impact, and a front-row seat to one of the most consequential infrastructure shifts of the decade — this is the place.

THE ROLE: HPC ENGINEER

We’re deploying more large-scale NVIDIA GPU clusters connected by InfiniBand, and the gap between a cluster that’s built and one that delivers its expected training performance is where customer experience is won or lost. We need an HPC Engineer to close that gap: validating and tuning clusters before handover, then owning the HPC layer in production. This is a UK-based remote role, reporting to the Head of Infrastructure.

This is a role for someone who won’t sign off a cluster that isn’t right, who follows a problem across GPUs, fabric, storage and software until it’s fixed rather than handing it off, and who is comfortable owning outcomes without heavy oversight.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

Rather than a checklist, here’s what success in this role actually looks like:

  • Own cluster performance from acceptance to production, running burn-in, health checks and NCCL, HPL and storage benchmarks against agreed criteria, and resolving underperformance before a cluster reaches the customer.
  • Collaborate closely with Deployment Solution Architects, Network Engineers, Validation, Customer Support and vendors including NVIDIA and OEMs to resolve issues quickly and feed production learning back into design.
  • Run the production HPC layer day to day: Slurm, GPU drivers and the CUDA stack, InfiniBand fabrics (subnet management, monitoring, firmware) and the parallel storage clusters depend on.
  • Tune clusters for AI training and HPC workloads, from NCCL settings and GPUDirect RDMA to topology-aware scheduling and storage throughput.
  • Build GPU, fabric and job-level monitoring that catches faults before customers notice, and lead incident response from Xid errors and fabric degradation through to root cause.
  • Automate provisioning, configuration and validation with infrastructure-as-code and Git-based workflows, building a standard, repeatable validation suite for each GPU platform and fabric type.
  • Turn incident learning into automated checks, runbooks and lasting fixes, and become the go-to engineer for HPC and InfiniBand across the business.

ABOUT YOU

We care more about how you think and work than a perfect CV. You’ll likely bring a combination of the following:

Essential:

  • Hands-on experience operating NVIDIA GPU infrastructure at scale, including drivers, CUDA, DCGM and diagnosing GPU hardware faults.
  • Proven experience running production HPC clusters with a workload manager such as Slurm.
  • Strong practical InfiniBand experience, including subnet management, RDMA, fabric monitoring and fault-finding.
  • Experience benchmarking and tuning distributed workloads with tools such as NCCL tests or HPL.
  • Strong Linux systems administration skills, including OS-level networking and storage, plus infrastructure automation and Git-based workflows.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with HGX H100/H200/B200 or GB200 rack-scale systems, NVIDIA UFM, GPUDirect RDMA and topology-aware scheduling.
  • Experience with parallel file systems such as WEKA, VAST, DDN/Lustre or GPFS, or running GPU workloads on Kubernetes or alongside OpenStack.
  • A background supporting AI/ML training, MPI-based HPC applications or research computing, or contributions to open-source HPC or infrastructure projects.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Competitive salary and annual discretionary bonus scheme
  • Employee wellbeing benefits
  • 25 days holiday, plus public holidays
  • Private Medical Insurance
  • Enhanced Pension Scheme
  • Flexible working arrangements (remote or hybrid, depending on role and location)
  • Real ownership and autonomy — the trust to take initiative and experiment
  • Visible, meaningful impact as we scale
  • Clear career progression in a high-growth company
  • A collaborative, international culture built on trust, transparency, and ownership
  • The chance to help shape NexGen Cloud’s team, culture, and future

WHY APPLY

We welcome applications from all backgrounds. If you enjoy solving complex infrastructure problems and want to build something meaningful at scale, we’d like to hear from you.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
