Work at Research Computing
Lustre Storage Administrator (Research & HPC Data Platforms)
Stanford’s Research Computing team is seeking a storage expert to join our Research & HPC Data Platforms group. This is a flexible-level posting; we are seeking either a Storage Architect or a Senior Storage Systems Administrator to maintain and expand our current world-class infrastructure.
You will work directly with our research and HPC data platforms team lead to manage a diverse environment of more than 100PB and 5 billion files, including high-speed Lustre, MinIO object storage, and Lustre HSM, among other platforms.
Why Stanford?
You aren’t just managing a storage cluster; you are architecting a data and storage ecosystem that supports Nobel-caliber research across all disciplines.
HPC Systems Administrator (Hardware & Infrastructure Operations)
The Sherlock HPC cluster is the flagship of Stanford’s research computing environment, supporting thousands of users and a massive variety of scientific workloads. We are looking for an HPC Systems Administrator who thrives at the intersection of high-density hardware and Linux systems engineering.
In this role, you will be the primary steward of the physical infrastructure on Sherlock and other platforms. You will ensure that our 1,500+ compute nodes, high-density GPU racks, and petabyte-scale storage arrays are meticulously maintained, expertly tuned, and highly available.
Why Stanford?
You won't just be swapping parts; you will be managing the physical backbone of a world-class research environment. From debugging errors on NVIDIA H200s to optimizing InfiniBand cabling for our Lustre scratch tiers, your work is the foundation upon which Nobel-caliber research is built.
