Junior HPC / Cloud Administrator (OpenStack / Kubernetes)

We’re looking for a junior HPC / Cloud administrator to join our infrastructure team working on systems used in scientific and research projects.

• basic experience with Linux administration (users, services, logs, shell);

• understanding of how virtualization or containers work (even at a basic level);

• readiness to read documentation, ask questions, and learn from more experienced team members;

• responsibility and attention to detail — our systems are used by real researchers;

• good command of Polish and English.

Nice to have (not required):

• basic familiarity with containers (Docker) or Kubernetes;

• any exposure to cloud platforms (OpenStack, public cloud, labs, personal projects);

• basic scripting (Bash, Python);

• interest in high-performance computing (HPC).

We offer:

• full-time job contract;

• onsite work in Warsaw;

• salary adequate to experience, with a clear growth path;

• 13th month salary, summer holiday bonus, optional private healthcare;

• opportunity to learn OpenStack, Kubernetes and HPC in real production environments;

• work on large-scale systems used in science and research;

• support from experienced administrators and engineers;

• small teams and quiet, comfortable offices (no open-plan);

• friendly, calm working atmosphere;

• flexible working hours.
