POSITION SUMMARY The Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute opened in 2016 and conducts scientific research in-house, supporting teams of top computational scientists. The Scientific Computing Core (SCC) is part of the Flatiron Institute and is led by Ian Fisk. This core develops and deploys the computing infrastructure—including new computational and statistical methods and storage and data-handling systems—necessary to support the research activities of Flatiron’s Centers for Computational Astrophysics, Biology, Mathematics, Neuroscience, and Quantum Physics. It also acts as a creator and disseminator of software tools for use by various scientific communities. Primary Responsibilities As a member of the Scientific Computing Core, the software engineer will be supporting a variety of open source projects across the Flatiron Institute, helping to make efficient use of various hardware accelerators, in particular GPUs. The engineer will assist with: deploying and optimizing various machine learning tools and applications porting and optimizing HPC libraries and applications to accelerators gathering and disseminating information about unified programming models and tools for developing portable accelerator code preparing codes for deployment at leadership-class facilities with GPU-heavy architectures. Responsibilities also include related software engineering activities: source code control (using git), debugging, documentation, testing and continuous integration. This engineer will report to the Deputy Director of the Scientific Computing Core. This is a full-time position based in our offices in New York City.
