💰 $80/hr

Ever wondered what powers breakthrough research in energy, physics, materials science, and chemistry? You're looking at it. This national HPC facility supports 11,000+ scientists pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and we need a sharp, self-motivated SRE to help keep that engine running without interruption.

If you love solving real problems on live infrastructure, thrive on ownership, and want your work to directly enable world-class science, this is your seat.

What You'll Own

  • Monitor and triage alerts across compute, storage, network, and facility systems in real time
  • Build automation that prevents issues before they become outages
  • Develop new tools and integrations across the monitoring pipeline (APIs → alerts → action)
  • Walk the data center floor to keep power, cooling, and environmental systems humming
  • Coordinate maintenance activities across teams and keep incidents accurately tracked
  • Dig into complex, ambiguous problems and drive them to resolution

What You Bring

  • Comfort working Owl shift (12am–8am), 5 days/week, hybrid onsite in Berkeley, CA
  • Solid Linux/command-line (SSH) chops
  • Programming/scripting experience: Python, C, C++, Perl, or Java
  • A self-starter mindset, eager to pick up Kubernetes, Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics, Alertmanager, and building management/cooling systems
  • Network security fundamentals (ACLs, firewalls)
  • Strong cross-team communication and collaboration skills

Nice to Have

  • Experience building or deploying Agentic AI / autonomous automation for technical workflows
  • ServiceNow implementation experience
  • ITSM best-practice know-how
