Full Job Description
TECHNICAL ACCOUNT MANAGER

Our terrestrial compute infrastructure team delivers high-performance GPU/CPU clusters and related systems to support demanding customer workloads. We are looking for a Technical Account Manager (TAM) / Solutions Architect (Technical Lead) to own the technical success of these deployments. In this role, you will lead technical implementation, integration, and optimization across all customer accounts, ensuring reliable, high-performance compute environments from initial provisioning through steady-state operations.

This role is part of a high-velocity team with extremely high expectations. You will apply deep technical expertise to drive customer outcomes in a fast-paced, autonomously driven, and demanding atmosphere.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Apply expertise to large-scale compute system development, including design validation, integration, performance tuning, and optimization.
  • Act as the primary technical point of contact for compute infrastructure definition, requirements, and delivery across all customer accounts.
  • Lead technical implementation, integration testing, provisioning, and go-live activities for GPU/CPU clusters and supporting infrastructure.
  • Provide deep expertise on compute-specific elements including GPUs/CPUs, high-performance networking, data center connectivity, and related systems.
  • Handle technical escalations, root-cause analysis, troubleshooting, and drive resolution to ensure SOW and SLA compliance.
  • Represent compute systems in cross-functional trades, risk discussions, and issue resolution with internal teams, management, and customers.
  • Interface with Hardware, Network, Facilities, Cloud Compute, SRE, and Program Management teams to ensure successful end-to-end delivery.
  • Participate in verification testing, performance characterization, reliability assessments, and continuous optimization.
  • Support expansion planning, capacity scaling, and new use cases across customer accounts.
  • Ensure on-time deliverables, proactive risk mitigation, and overall mission success for all customers.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or other STEM discipline.
  • 7+ years of hands-on professional experience in large-scale compute, data center, or hyperscale infrastructure environments.
  • Experience leading technical implementations involving GPUs/CPUs and high-performance systems.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • Master's degree or higher in a STEM discipline.
  • Prior experience as a Technical Account Manager, Solutions Architect, or equivalent supporting enterprise or hyperscale compute deployments.
  • Deep knowledge of InfiniBand, RoCE, NVIDIA networking technologies (NCCL, NVLink, GPU Direct RDMA), and large GPU cluster architectures.
  • Experience with AI/ML training and inference infrastructure at scale.
  • Strong background in performance tuning, security/compliance implementation, and hybrid/cloud integration.
  • Demonstrated ability to assess risk and make decisions with incomplete data in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to interface effectively with customers and internal stakeholders.
  • Hands-on experience with Linux environments, orchestration tools, and infrastructure monitoring.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Ability to work extended hours and weekends as needed during critical implementation, testing, and incident response periods.
  • Willingness to travel (up to 25%) to data center sites and customer locations.
  • Must be comfortable operating with extreme ownership in a demanding, high-expectation environment.
  • This role offers the opportunity to drive cutting-edge terrestrial compute infrastructure that powers next-generation AI capabilities for a key strategic partner. If you thrive on ownership and technical excellence, we encourage you to apply.
