Senior HPC Systems Engineer

Summary

Join ThisWay Global, a fast-growing startup at the forefront of AI and high-performance computing (HPC), where you will design, develop, and implement high-performance, scalable software solutions. This role requires expertise in low-latency, parallel compute environments and distributed systems. You will tackle complex engineering problems, scale systems, and mentor junior engineers. The position offers a collaborative environment focused on creative engineering and impactful contributions. Competitive compensation, health benefits, a 401K plan, and unlimited PTO are included. The role is fully remote within the U.S., with some travel required.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in software development, including large-scale distributed or parallel systems
• Strong proficiency in Rust or demonstrated success with comparable system-level languages in high-performance contexts
• Familiarity with parallel programming technologies (e.g., OpenMP, Unified Parallel C, OpenMPI, CUDA)
• Proven ability to solve complex infrastructure problems while mentoring junior engineers and contributing to team learning and cohesion
• Deep problem-solving and debugging capabilities; experienced in performance optimization, secure development, and R&D-centric settings
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical decisions across team boundaries
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, high-speed environment

Responsibilities

• Develop advanced software systems with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and high performance
• Tackle complex technical challenges while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and technical rigor
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and refine software requirements that support near-term needs and long-term scale
• Write clean, maintainable, efficient code that aligns with internal engineering standards and supports parallel or distributed execution
• Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize infrastructure to maintain data integrity, low-latency throughput, and platform security
• Track emerging technologies and trends in performance computing, bringing new tools and frameworks into our development lifecycle
• Lead by example in technical reviews, mentorship, and engineering quality standards

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in HPC or HTC environments, particularly those with strict performance, uptime, or security requirements
• Understanding of secure software development practices, including ISO-compliant environments (e.g., ISO 27001) and NIST frameworks (SP 800-171, 800-223), or exposure to Confidential Computing
• Passion for systems innovation and long-term technical planning

Benefits

• Health benefits and 401K plan
• Unlimited PTO (with management approval)
• Fully Remote – U.S. Only (some travel for key meetings required)
