Position

We’re looking for a Principal Cloud Architect with hands-on expertise in HPC, GPU infrastructure, and AI platform engineering to help shape the future of accelerated computing on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). In this role, you’ll work with a range of customers—from AI startups to Fortune 500 enterprises—architecting and deploying complex GPU/HPC environments and AI solutions. You’ll play a key role in both pre-sales consulting and solution delivery, helping drive OCI adoption for high-performance and AI-driven workloads. This is a high-impact, customer-facing role where deep technical skills meet strategic thinking.

Responsibilities:

  • Architect and deploy large-scale GPU and HPC clusters on OCI using Terraform, Ansible, Slurm, and Kubernetes.
  • Automate cluster provisioning and software deployments using Infrastructure as Code principles.
  • Partner with customers to design scalable solutions for LLM-based platforms, agentic AI, and robotic systems.
  • Act as a trusted advisor, guiding customers on best practices for cloud adoption, migration, and optimization.
  • Lead workshops, deep-dives, and technical training sessions to enable customer success.
  • Work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and support teams to solve customer challenges and shape OCI’s roadmap.
  • Create and share technical assets like code samples, demos, blogs, and whitepapers.
  • Collaborate with key AI partners to co-develop and deploy customer-centric solutions.

Requirements:

  • Technical Skills:

    • Deep, hands-on experience with GPU/HPC architecture, both on-prem and in the cloud.
    • Strong proficiency in Python, Bash, PowerShell, Terraform, and Ansible.
    • Solid understanding of cluster managers (e.g., SLURM, PBS, Bright), Kubernetes, and container orchestration.
    • Experience with RDMA, Infiniband, MPI, and distributed storage systems.
    • Knowledge of AI/ML platforms, large language models (LLMs), and inference-serving frameworks.
    • Strong cloud-native background (preferably with OCI or similar platforms).
  • Business & Leadership Skills:

    • 5+ years in pre-sales, solution architecture, or customer-facing technical roles.
    • Excellent communicator, able to engage both technical teams and executive stakeholders.
    • Customer-focused mindset with a drive to deliver real-world solutions.
    • Ability to turn complex technical concepts into business-aligned strategies.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field.
  • Demonstrated thought leadership via speaking, writing, or community contributions.
  • Experience working directly with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or similar platforms.
