[TriLUG] Have A Job - Durham Cloud Engineer/Sysadmin/Data wrangler

[Sean Korb via TriLUG]

Hi all,

You may remember me from when I spammed the list a month ago.  I'm sorry
about that I was under some pressure at the time and I should have edited
my post and considered the To field.

I was let go from my position at Syngenta after 24 years (I'm still in good
standing and officially "retired") after migrating all our on-prem HPC into
AWS.  They have a REQ open now to reassign the position (I'm not bothered
by that, they need somebody) they have excellent benefits and ou get to
work with scientists on the cutting edge of plant science and artificial
intelligence/machine learning.  The team is also top notch and a pleasure
to work with.

Also I'm seeking employment, if you know of another HPC position with R&D
for chip design, life science or other please let me know.

   indicators, alerting, logging, performance analysis, and incident-response
   improvements.
   - HPC, AI/ML & Research Computing: Deliver technical solutions for
   high-performance computing, AI/ML, and research-computing needs, including
   AWS ParallelCluster, Slurm, FSx, SageMaker, scientific pipelines, and
   scalable workload patterns.
   - Laboratory Modernization: Lead technical workstreams supporting
   laboratory modernization by translating laboratory device and workflow
   needs into secure cloud, network, storage, security, and support designs.
   - Technical Leadership: Provide technical leadership through
   architecture reviews, mentoring, design guidance, risk and dependency
   management, and resolution of complex incidents, reliability issues, and
   cost-optimization opportunities.
   - Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with engineering, research,
   data, cybersecurity, network, laboratory, vendor, and leadership
   stakeholders to communicate technical recommendations, drive adoption of
   standards, and deliver operationally supportable solutions.
