Roles

Sr. cloud computing researcher

Locations

Chicago

Description

Disclosure: I left my position on this research team this summer after a pleasant 4 years. It's quite a different environment than one normally might find on these listings. The Nimbus team is funded by multiple grants from the National Science Foundation and concentrates on building accessible, powerful cloud infrastructure for the comp sci research community. Our users are folks who are doing work that cannot be done on commercial clouds for a variety of reasons (lack of low-level access, performance variability too high, cost $$, etc.) We work with stuff like OpenStack, Kubernetes, Liqid, and are always exploring new things, like how to build a distributed edge/IoT testbed, and how to enable practical reproducibility of CS experiments. I think more development talent should consider working in science/research. There are lots of opportunities and I don't think they are often advertised well. The job is in Chicago but we work largely remote. Still, in-person has been preferred especially as sometimes it's helpful to work with collaborators at the Argonne National Laboratory west of Chicago. Happy to answer more in pm.
