HPC Software Engineer – Advanced
About The Position
Computational Scientist candidates are focused on harnessing computational power to solve complex problems across research and geoscience domains. A software engineer in this role is expected to have the curiosity and ingenuity to quickly learn a knowledge domain and interact effectively with subject matter experts. Our team brings together diverse backgrounds in computational sciences. In this role, you will develop and support geoscience applications for a subsurface imaging team, within a central technology organisation, partnering closely with researchers to deliver advanced seismic imaging solutions. Our technology leverages a world-class high-performance computing (HPC) environment to process large-scale seismic data, enabling geoscientists to gain critical insights into subsurface structures and support high-value exploration decisions.
