Digital Solutions & Development > Digital Solutions > Devops Chapter POR
Do you want to build high-performance computing in a global, data-driven organization?
At Vestas, we are accelerating the transition towards sustainable energy through digital innovation. As part of Digital Solutions, the Compute & Cloud Platforms (CCP) team provides the foundational platforms enabling engineering, simulation, AI, and digital product development at scale.
We are now looking for a DevOps Engineer specialized in HPC platforms to help evolve and operate our hybrid compute landscape spanning on-prem HPC clusters and Azure-based scalable compute environments.
Responsibilities
Develop and operate HPC platform capabilities
Work with Linux-based and Windows HPC clusters, schedulers, and storage systems
Support hybrid workloads across on-prem data centers and cloud (Azure)
Build platform automation and Infrastructure-as-Code
Implement automation using tools such as Terraform, or similar
Standardize provisioning, configuration, and scaling of HPC environments
Enable scalable compute for engineering and AI workloads
Support simulation, Agentic workloads and AI/ML workloads requiring high compute capacity
Optimize performance, cost, and reliability of compute workloads
Contribute to platform architecture and evolution
Design and improve HPC and compute platform architecture
Guide teams on how to effectively use HPC, cloud compute resources and how to modernize their application for better performance.
Collaborate across teams and domains
Work closely with platform engineers, simulation engineering, and application teams
Align with cloud, network, and security teams on platform integration
Strengthen DevOps practices in HPC environments
Support journey towards modern software architecture such as CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and platform components
Promote DevOps mindset in traditional operations-heavy HPC setups
Ensure we are data driven in what we do
Support implementation of data-driven decisions, data for platform usage and resource utilization to enable better decision making.
Contribute to roadmap and capability maturity
Identify platform gaps and improvement opportunities
Help define the future of compute platforms including AI and advanced workloads
Qualifications
Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
Extensive experience working with Linux-based infrastructure and distributed systems
Experience with HPC environments (e.g., clusters, schedulers like Slurm or similar)
Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, or similar)
Experience with Azure or other cloud platforms in a DevOps context
Knowledge about engineering simulation process and tooling is valuable
Programming/scripting experience (e.g., Python, Go, Bash)
Experience with CI/CD, version control (Git), and automation tools (e.g., Ansible)
Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana)
Solid problem-solving mindset with focus on performance and scalability
Ability to work across cloud and on-premise environments (hybrid mindset)
Curious and engaged approach to learning and improving platforms
Solid collaboration and communication skills in a global organization
Ability to balance stability (operations) and innovation (platform evolution)
Structured and quality-oriented approach to engineering practices
What We Offer
Opportunity to shape next-generation HPC and compute/GPU platforms
Exposure to large-scale engineering, simulation and AI workloads
A central role in enabling Vestas' digital and green energy transformation
A collaborative and international environment focused on innovation
More together than apart RTO policy.
