Solution Architect

Job description

Title: Solution Architect

 Location: Dallas, TX (Hybrid) - Relocation coverage available

Duration: Direct Hire

Compensation: $250k - $350k

Work Requirements: US Citizen, GC Holders or Authorized to Work in the U.S. (No Sponsorship) 



Role Summary:

• As an HPC Solutions Architect, you will focus on the technical design, integration, and delivery of high-performance computing (HPC) solutions.
  
  You will engage directly with customers to capture requirements, analyze workloads, and design architectures that deliver measurable performance and scalability benefits.


• This is a customer-facing, technically focused role.
  
  You will contribute across the solution lifecycle — from requirements discovery and technical assessments, through proof-of-concept and deployment, to integration and ongoing optimization.


• Working closely with the Manager of HPC Solutions Architecture, you will execute on architectural strategies while concentrating on hands-on solution design, workload optimization, and technical delivery.
  
  You will also collaborate with engineering and product teams to ensure that customer feedback informs platform improvements.

 

Responsibilities:

• Work with customers to understand HPC workload requirements, technical objectives, and performance targets.


• Lead technical discovery sessions to assess application characteristics, bottlenecks, and scalability challenges.


• Design and document end-to-end HPC architectures, including compute (CPU/GPU), storage, networking, orchestration, and security.


• Recommend and justify hardware and software choices aligned with performance, scalability, and efficiency objectives.


• Support proof-of-concept and benchmarking initiatives, validating solution performance against customer goals.


• Use profiling tools and workload characterization methodologies to inform architecture and tuning decisions.


• Translate designs into detailed implementation plans, architecture blueprints, and integration guides.


• Provide technical guidance during deployment, ensuring solutions integrate seamlessly into customer environments.


• Conduct workload reviews and performance tuning to identify optimization opportunities for resilience and scalability.


• Build and maintain technical partnerships with vendors (e.g., GPU, networking, storage providers) to incorporate emerging technologies.


• Act as a liaison between customers and internal teams, ensuring effective communication during implementation and optimization phases.


• Collaborate with engineering, product, and operations teams to refine HPC offerings based on real-world adoption feedback.


• Stay up to date on HPC technology trends, including processors, accelerators, interconnects, and data center best practices.


• Represent the team in customer workshops, solution reviews, and technical presentations.

 

Required Skills:

• Demonstrated experience in HPC solution architecture, systems integration, or distributed systems design.


• Strong expertise in the following:

• GPU and CPU compute architectures (CUDA, NVIDIA ecosystem, workload schedulers like Armada, Slurm, Kubernetes).


• High-performance networking (InfiniBand, RDMA, RoCE).


• Distributed/parallel storage systems (Lustre, GPFS, Ceph, VAST).


• Kubernetes and container orchestration for HPC workloads.


• Security integration (identity, encryption, compliance).

• Skilled in Linux tuning, system-level optimization, and performance profiling.


• Ability to translate customer requirements into detailed designs and integration plans.


• Strong customer-facing communication skills, with experience running workshops and technical reviews.


• Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams including engineering, product, and operations.


• Proven success in customer-facing communication and engagement, with the ability to capture detailed technical requirements and translate them into tailored, scalable HPC system designs.


• Skilled at articulating complex solutions across AI/ML, scientific computing, simulation, and data-intensive workloads to both technical stakeholders and executive audiences.

 

Preferred Experience:

• Experience delivering HPC or AI/ML workloads from design through deployment and optimization.


• Familiarity with containerized HPC environments (e.g., Singularity, Kubernetes).


• Exposure to automation practices for HPC integration and deployment.


• Experience in customer solution delivery, such as running proof-of-concepts, technical reviews, or workload migrations.


• Awareness of emerging HPC technologies, including next-generation GPUs, accelerators, and interconnects.


• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or related technical field.


• Relevant certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, GCP Professional Cloud Architect, Cisco CCNP, Red Hat RHCE, Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), or Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS).
