Stanford Research Computing Center | HPC Systems Engineer | Stanford, California | ONSITE In addition to running things like the Sherlock cluster (https://www.sherlock.stanford.edu) and FarmShare (http://farmshare.stanford.edu), employees of SRCC (https://srcc.stanford.edu) also provide contracted support to select schools, departments, and labs. This is a position embedded within the School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences (http://earth.stanford.edu). Although the job is primarily focused on managing the School's HPC clusters, there is always other stuff going on. Do you remember the post "When setting an environment variable gives you a 40x speedup" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19761159)? That was written by one of your future co-workers. This position is based at the Stanford University campus. Sorry to say, there's no free food, and you'll have to pay if you want to park on campus. In return, we'll pay for your Caltrain and VTA pass. And you get access to the Libraries and athletic facilities. You'll also get easy access to the many events that happen on campus during the year.
