Founding Platform EngineerBarcelona / Hybrid€40K–€60K + EquityEarly-stage startupAbout Temple ComputeTemple Compute is building the orchestration layer for scientific computing.We enable scientific teams to run complex HPC and cloud workflows without dealing with infrastructure complexity. Our platform abstracts HPC clusters, cloud execution, workflow orchestration, authentication, plugins, and reproducibility into a single unified system.We are starting with life sciences and computational chemistry, with long-term expansion into materials science, climate simulations, and large-scale scientific computing.This is an opportunity to help design the platform from the ground up as one of the first engineering hires.What You’ll Work OnYou’ll work directly with the founder on the core infrastructure and architecture of the platform.Key areas include:Distributed workflow orchestrationHPC and cloud job executionMulti-cluster compute routingPlugin execution systemsContainerized workloadsInfrastructure automationAuthentication and platform securityInternal APIs and platform architectureReliability, observability, and scalabilityThis is not a typical CRUD SaaS role.



The engineering challenges involve orchestration systems, scientific workloads, distributed compute, and infrastructure abstraction.What We’re Looking ForWe care much more about engineering depth and systems thinking than specific buzzwords.Strong fit:Strong backend engineering fundamentalsExperience building systems from scratchComfortable owning architecture decisionsAbility to move across backend, infra, and platform concernsStartup mindset and high ownership mentalityPragmatic engineering judgmentTechnologies we currently use:PythonTypeScriptReactFastAPIDockerPostgreSQLAWS / ScalewayLinux environmentsBonus experience:KubernetesDistributed systemsJob schedulers / queuesInfrastructure toolingSLURM or HPC systemsScientific computingGPU workloadsPlatform engineeringWhy Join EarlyFounding-level ownershipEquity packageDeep technical challengesOpportunity to shape the architecture from day oneSmall team with fast executionReal-world scientific impactWe are looking for builders who want to work on hard infrastructure problems with high autonomy and long-term upside.#J-18808-Ljbffr
