Make a DIFFERENCE on a program that supports 4 on-site supercomputers, 18,000+ nodes, and 17+ combined petaflop supercomputer systems. Our program provides High Performance Computing services throughout the HPC lifecycle, including computational requirements, architecture, acquisition, and operations, for federal government customers. Additionally, our team supports the Human-Systems Integration (HSI) Division, which enables the development of complex aerospace systems through analysis and modeling of human performance and human-automation interactions. Our employees embrace innovation and are committed to a culture of continuous, standards-driven process improvement and assimilation of industry best practices. We have an immediate position for a Software Programmer/Developer to join our Infrastructure team in Mountain View. This role supports the hundreds of infrastructure systems that support HPC operations. Position Summary The Software Programmer/Developer supports tool/application development for NASA projects and systems at Ames Research Center, CA. Responsibilities include designing and implementing high-quality code, leading code reviews, contributing to architectural decisions, and integrating secure coding practices. This role will collaborate with other software programmers/developers to design, develop, and sustain core capabilities while also creating new capabilities when appropriate. The role requires frequent interactions with government leads and technical staff. The role also requires the ability to mentor junior staff, troubleshoot complex issues, and align development efforts with mission priorities.
