Overview

We are seeking an elite Solutions Architect to lead the end-to-end design, sizing, and deployment of NVIDIA AI Factory-aligned infrastructure. In this highly technical, customer-facing role you will translate complex AI and machine learning workload requirements into fully engineered infrastructure solutions spanning colocation facilities, GPU compute, high-performance networking, parallel storage, and the complete NVIDIA AI software stack.

You will serve as a trusted technical advisor to enterprise and hyperscale customers, partnering with sales, product, and engineering teams to win and deliver transformational AI infrastructure programs. Your expertise will directly shape how organizations build and operate production AI Factories capable of training frontier models, running large-scale inference fleets, and accelerating data science pipelines at scale.
