Overview

We are looking for a skilled and motivated Application Developer to join a small team focused on designing, developing, and maintaining a business‑critical internal tooling platform dedicated to HPC/AI cluster design.

This role leverages modern AI‑assisted development (“vibe coding”) using tools such as Claude and Gemini, enabling rapid innovation and high‑quality software delivery.

You will play a key role in shaping a robust, scalable application used by pre‑sales, solution review, factory and delivery teams to model, design, and optimise high‑performance computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

• Continue to develop, productise and maintain a business‑critical internal application for HPC/AI cluster design and simulation having dependencies on other internal critical applications.
• Use AI‑assisted development tools (Claude, Gemini, etc.) to accelerate coding, prototyping, and problem‑solving.
• Participate in the full software life‑cycle: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
• Collaborate with HPC, infrastructure, and AI stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions.
• Ensure performance, scalability, and reliability of the application.
• Improve and automate development workflows using CI/CD best practices.
• Contribute to code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing.
• Continuously explore new tools, frameworks, and approaches to enhance productivity and product quality while maintaining production‑grade standards.

Technical Skills & Experience

• Strong experience in software development in a Linux environment.
• Familiarity with AI‑assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini, Copilot) and modern development practices.
• Experience building and maintaining web applications or internal tooling.
• Understanding of HPC, distributed systems, or AI infrastructure (clusters, GPUs, networking, scheduling) is highly desirable.
• Knowledge of APIs and backend development.
• Front‑end frameworks (React, Vue, or equivalent).
• Databases (SQL/NoSQL).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automation, and DevOps practices using AI‑driven tooling.
• Ability to troubleshoot, debug, and optimise complex systems.

Soft Skills & Mindset

• Reactive and proactive: able to quickly respond to issues and adapt to changing priorities.
• Open‑minded: embraces new ideas, tools, and ways of working (especially AI‑driven development).
• Eager to learn: continuously develops skills and stays up to date with emerging technologies.
• Knowledge sharing: actively contributes to team growth by sharing insights, best practices, and feedback.
• Collaborative: works effectively with cross‑functional teams.
• Autonomous: capable of driving tasks independently while maintaining alignment with team goals.

Nice to Have

• Experience in HPC cluster design, capacity planning, or performance modelling.
• Exposure to AI workloads and infrastructure constraints.
• Exposure to network fabric design and implementation.
• Familiarity with containerisation.

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting‑edge AI‑assisted development workflows.
• Contribute to a strategic tool for HPC/AI infrastructure design.
• Be part of a culture that values innovation, learning, and collaboration.
• Opportunity to grow your expertise in both software engineering and AI/HPC domains.
