Requisition Id 13772
Overview:
Purpose:
The National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) operates the fastest High Performance Computers (HPC) in the world. We are seeking innovative and creative Linux-types to play a key role in ensuring the security, performance, and reliability of the NCCS computing infrastructure. Our efforts support a highly-skilled user base consisting of the best-of-the-best science teams around the world. NCCS enables these teams to perform science that is just not possible anywhere else. In return, and instead of charging for compute and data allocations, we ask these scientists to publish their work in open literature. If you are excited about applying DevSecOps best practices to HPCs, come help us guarantee the integrity of open science publications that utilize NCCS supercomputing resources.
The Team:
The HPC Cybersecurity Engineering team is one half of the NCCS Security and Information Engineering Group. It is tasked with architecting, developing, deploying, and maintaining all facets of the Supercomputing-specific technical security program (which is an enclave of the broader ORNL network). We recognize that there are many security disciplines and keep ourselves sharp by sharing incident response, blue team engineering, red team vulnerability research, policy architecture, and DevSecOps responsibilities with each other. We work hand-in-hand with other teams to help them secure their systems and act as liaisons between ORNL’s broader risk management framework. We are exclusively a Linux shop without enterprise phishing and mobile device security headaches; instead, our security problems revolve around unique challenges such as the scaling of security tools in a high performance environment and maintaining integrity of scientific computing.
About You:
You deploy infrastructure and/or security controls as code because automation lets you focus on the more difficult and rewarding problems. You love working with others because the ‘best solutions’ to a problem are a product of collaboration. You may have a GitHub account with cool projects. You may have more than a couple of our Preferred Qualifications and probably do not yet have any prior HPC experience. You may have technical leadership experience and/or want to grow into this role. You may or may not think Hackers is an incredible movie.
