About the role

The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) seeks a Computer Scientist to enable AI for science, focusing on agentic workflows that integrate diverse science domains, data types, and high-performance computing resources. This role involves developing systems that can autonomously plan and execute scientific workflows, as well as creating APIs for AI models to interact with simulations, data, and job schedulers. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in AI/ML, HPC systems, or scientific workflows, and be able to work collaboratively with various science application teams.

Responsibilities

• Build agentic systems capable of planning and executing scientific workflows on ALCF systems
• Develop services/APIs enabling AI models to interact with simulations, data, and job schedulers
• Create, maintain, and support high-quality software
• Collaborate with science application teams and contribute to broader scientific initiatives

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree and 5+ years of experience, or Masters and 3+ years of experience, or PhD and 0+ years of experience in computer science, computational science, a physical science, engineering, or related field
• Comprehensive experience programming in one or more languages such as Python, C/C++, and familiarity with at least one AI framework (e.g., PyTorch)
• Experience with large language models, large language model frameworks, and agentic frameworks
• Ability to create, maintain, and support high-quality software
• Experience with version control software such as git
• Collaborative skills and effective communication abilities

Preferred Skills

• Experience with complex, large-scale scientific workflows
• Experience running simulations or AI workflows on supercomputers
