Senior Software Engineer - High Performance Computing

Belay Technologies is seeking a Software Developer for high-performance software for complex HPC systems, spanning development, testing, deployment, and optimization of data-intensive and real-time applications. You will be using your expertise in advanced mathematics and/or computer hardware to effectively build and optimize solutions aligned with sophisticated system architectures. 

Broadly applicable Skills and Experience

• Scripting languages, such as Bash, Python
• Programming languages, such as C, C++, Rust, and Assembly-level
• Automation languages, such as Ansible, YAML, JSON
• Automation frameworks, such as AAP, SaltStack, Puppet, Chef, Terraform, etc.
• Version-control systems, such as Git and GitLab
• Linux operating systems
• DevOps
• CI/CD
• Atlassian Confluence and Jira

Security Architecture
Description: The Security Architecture defines components, interfaces, and relationships among software and hardware that establish trust, identity, authentication, and authorization. The architecture will also include processes and tests. The complexity of this product stems from the diversity and distribution of “clients” and “interests” and no one commercial product can provide all the USG’s security needs.
Skills and Experience:

• System architecture and design
• System scanning, audit, detection, and prevention
• High-performance computing (HPC) engineering and/or systems
• Cloud engineering and/or systems
• Container security
• Container orchestration technologies, such as Kubernetes, RKE2
• DevSecOps

Credential Management System
Description: Credential Management System is a suite of services, libraries, plugins/modules, and tools that implement identity roles, authentication, and authorization management both programmatically and through standard OS interfaces. The USG’s capability could have thousands of credential checks per minute depending on how pervasively the system services check for permissions, so the CMS may have multiple tiers of credential strength or permissioned surface exposure, e.g., prevent loss due to typos, accidental spills, authority escalation, and intrusion, etc.

Skills and Experience:

• Attribute-based access control (ABAC)
• Host-based access control (HBAC)
• Role-based (RBAC)
• Credentials/Secrets management and automation
• Data protection
• Enterprise security software solutions, such as Delinea Server Suite, Centrify,
• Red Hat SSO (Keycloak), Red Hat IDM (FreeIPA Server), HashiCorp Vault
• Linux server authentication, such as NSS, PAM, SSSD
• Cloud-based authentication
• Authentication protocols, such as OIDC, LDAP 

UAS: User Access Services
Description: User Access Services detail the points and protocols of user/role access, procedures to enable and disable access, and any enabling technology to provide access through non-standard means. For example, most infrastructure could be run in an operator lock-out mode in which users, including privileged or root system administrators, are not permitted or able to connect or log in during normal operating conditions. A component failure could warrant automatically sanitizing the device and enabling an appropriately permissioned and time-granted person to remotely access it, load a diagnostic toolkit onto it, and perform limited testing.

Candidates are required to have:

• TS/SCI Clearance with polygraph
• Bachelor's degree in Math, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline from an accredited college or university, plus seven (7) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity
• OR
• Master's degree in Math, computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline from an accredited college or university, plus five (5) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity
• OR
• Nine (9) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity

Perks and Benefits:

• 8 weeks paid leave - 4 weeks of personal leave, 3 Yay! days, take off on your birthday,11 paid holidays and optional leave up to 6 days through Belay's volunteer program
• 10% matching in 401(k) contributions vested on day one
