Software Development Projects by Parallel Scientific

Parallel Scientific is a funded startup working in the area of scalable parallelization for HPC and large data computation, focusing on software that benefits applications and leverages systems architecture. Parallel Scientific builds on its mathematical knowledge as well as its understanding of systems software and hardware.

Parallel Scientific is run by a very experienced board. It was founded by Dr. Peter Braam in 2010. Peter formerly taught Mathematics and Computer Science at Oxford and Carnegie Mellon. He then contributed to Linux File Systems and invented Lustre (which provides storage to 9 of the top 10 systems in the world). He ran several successful startups

For our current software development efforts we are looking for staff in Pune to help create radically new solutions for Parallel Computing. Successful candidates will work in a modern virtual environment at QualEx Systems and receive extensive training in advanced processes for software design and implementation and domain specific knowledge.
