Location: Santa Clara, CA (Remote preferred; occasional onsite as required - additional remote locations available in WA, OR, and TX)
Job Type: Contract
Duration: 12 Months
Experience: 8+ years
Job Overview
Our client is seeking a hands-on Senior GPU Solutions Architect to elevate Day 2 operations across their Cloud Partner ecosystem. In this role, you will work directly alongside partner engineers operating AI clouds at scale - solving real performance, reliability, and economics challenges once a cluster is installed and validated. This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on measurable outcomes, not outsourced support.
Key Responsibilities
  • Diagnose and resolve hard Day 2 operations problems at scale alongside partner engineering teams
  • Help partners prepare operating models for new platforms, capacity, and services before customer adoption
  • Improve reliability, performance, and cost efficiency using metrics such as incident frequency, recovery time, utilization, and cost per token
  • Assess and improve partner Day 2 maturity across people, process, tooling, telemetry, security, and incident response
  • Convert validated solutions into operating procedures, reference architectures, automation scripts, and agentic workflows reusable across the partner ecosystem
Required Skills
  • 8+ years in production infrastructure, cloud engineering, solutions architecture, SRE, or HPC; or 5+ years of specialist-level work in large-scale GPU or AI infrastructure
  • Hands-on experience building, operating, or improving distributed infrastructure under real production load
  • Deep expertise in at least one Day 2 stack area: GPU monitoring (DCGM), BMC/Redfish, firmware/driver lifecycle; InfiniBand, NCCL, UFM; or high-performance storage (Lustre, IBM Storage Scale, WEKA, VAST Data)
  • Proficiency across Kubernetes or Slurm, GPU scheduling and multi-tenancy, Prometheus, Grafana or OpenTelemetry
  • Automation experience with Terraform, Ansible, Argo CD, or similar tooling
  • Strong Linux knowledge; Python, Bash, or equivalent scripting for measurement, diagnosis, and remediation
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or equivalent experience
Preferred Skills
  • Real-world experience operating a GPU cloud, HPC environment, or large-scale AI platform under customer load
  • Built or matured a 24/7 operations function including observability, incident management, and on-call design
  • Hands-on experience with rack-scale platforms such as GB200 or GB300, Spectrum-X, UFM, Base Command Manager, Mission Control, GPU Operator, or Network Operator
  • Demonstrated improvement in fleet health or unit economics through benchmarking, IaC, GitOps, or agent-based remediation
Location & Work Model
Remote preferred with proximity to Santa Clara, CA. Additional remote locations accepted in WA, OR, and TX. Occasional onsite visits to the client's Santa Clara office may be required.
Engagement Details
12-month contract engagement. 3 open positions. 4-round interview process.
