Overview

We are seeking a Manager, HPC Solutions Architecture to lead a team of domain-specialist architects responsible for designing and delivering advanced compute platforms across HPC, AI/ML workloads, and next-generation CaaS / GPUaaS environments.

This is a highly customer-facing leadership role that spans the full solution lifecycle—from early engagement and requirements discovery through architecture design, proof-of-concept, deployment, and ongoing optimization. The role serves as a strategic bridge between customers, engineering, and product teams, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with both technical and business objectives.

You will lead the design and delivery of multi-tenant, GPU-accelerated platforms, enabling GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) offerings across complex, distributed infrastructure environments.

The ideal candidate brings a strong blend of technical depth, leadership capability, and customer engagement experience, with a proven ability to drive architectural excellence across large-scale HPC and AI platforms.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership & Team Development

• Provide architectural guidance across complex, multi-domain solution design

Customer Engagement & Strategic Advisory

• Build trusted advisor relationships with customers, aligning solutions to business objectives and technical requirements
• Guide customers through the full lifecycle, including discovery, design, proof-of-concept, deployment, and optimization
• Lead executive-level architecture discussions, workshops, and technical deep-dives

Solution Architecture & Platform Design

• Oversee the design of scalable, resilient, and secure architectures across HPC and CaaS / GPUaaS platforms
• Define architectures supporting multi-tenant GPU environments, workload isolation, and high-performance compute delivery
• Conduct design reviews and workload assessments to optimize performance, scalability, and cost efficiency

Delivery & Execution Excellence

• Guide proof-of-concept initiatives to validate performance and accelerate customer adoption
• Establish reusable reference architectures, design patterns, and best practices
• Ensure consistency and quality across solution delivery and documentation

Product & Engineering Collaboration

• Act as a strategic partner to product and engineering teams, translating field insights into platform capabilities
• Influence roadmap development for HPC, AI infrastructure, and GPUaaS / CaaS platform evolution
• Contribute to the development of reusable frameworks and architectural standards

Innovation & Emerging Technologies

• Stay at the forefront of emerging technologies across GPUs, accelerators, interconnects, distributed storage, and orchestration
• Drive innovation across AI/ML workloads, containerized HPC, and next-generation compute platforms
• Translate emerging technologies into scalable, production-ready solutions

Required Experience

• 10 years of experience in HPC, Solutions Architecture, or large-scale distributed systems design
• 3 years of experience leading architecture or engineering teams
• Proven experience delivering complex, multi-domain solutions across compute, storage, networking, Kubernetes, and security
• Strong experience designing or supporting CaaS, GPUaaS, or multi-tenant compute platforms
• Deep expertise in HPC technologies including:
• GPU acceleration (NVIDIA ecosystem)
• Workload schedulers (Slurm, Kubernetes)
• Distributed storage (VAST, Lustre, GPFS, object storage)
• Experience designing secure and compliant architectures (identity, encryption, regulatory considerations)
• Strong customer-facing experience with the ability to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions
• Ability to communicate complex architectures to both technical and executive audiences

Technical & Domain Expertise

• Experience supporting AI/ML, simulation, scientific computing, or large-scale data workloads
• Familiarity with data platforms such as Kafka, Spark, or similar within HPC workflows
• Experience with automation and DevOps practices including CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible)
• Knowledge of high-performance networking (InfiniBand, RDMA, RoCE) and containerized HPC environments

Preferred Experience

• Experience leading customer workshops, architecture reviews, and technical presentations
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid HPC architectures
• Advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
• Relevant certifications (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, networking, Linux)

Additional Requirements

• This position requires applicants to be currently authorized to work in the U.S. without employer sponsorship.
• We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas at this time.
