Exceptional software developers sought to design, develop, and deploy systems software for a special-purpose supercomputer. Successful hires will join an interdisciplinary research group pursuing an ambitious, long-term project aimed at achieving major scientific advances in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology. Our Systems Software team members work on operating systems, networking software, firmware design, development tools, diagnostics, and tools/protocols/user interfaces for scalable operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning (OAM&P).

Ideal candidates will have a computer science or engineering degree, prior experience with non-trivial parallel or distributed systems software projects, deep knowledge of operating systems internals, strong C/C++/Python programming ability, and excellent verbal and written skills. Familiarity with device drivers, Linux or BSD kernels, run-time systems, communication protocols, event-driven and thread-based concurrency, bootstrap code, x86 hardware and BIOS and bringup of new hardware is a plus, but specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than exceptional intellectual ability and a demonstrated track record of achievement. We will consider candidates at all levels of experience and are prepared to reward exceptionally well-qualified individuals with above-market compensation.
