[Hiring] Principal Architect @World Wide Technology Holding

Role Description

The Principal Architect leads HPC AI focused Professional Services delivery engagements and cross-functional technical teams on customer programs or projects. They are responsible for technical communications with WWT Engineers, Architects, and the customer for AI-driven projects. The Principal Architect may participate in several Customer projects concurrently, integrating AI solutions with enterprise IT systems.

The Principal Architect will be at the epicenter of the AI revolution, working with the most advanced hardware on the planet. Whether you're helping a research facility unlock new scientific breakthroughs or an enterprise to build its first private AI cloud, your fingerprints will be on the infrastructure that defines the next decade of technology.

The right person for the job is a senior individual contributor responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing large-scale High-Performance Computing and AI platforms centered on the NVIDIA data center ecosystem. This role operates in a hybrid capacity, combining hands-on technical architecture with selective customer-facing advisory responsibilities.

The architect serves as a technical authority across GPU-accelerated compute, high-performance networking, and modern parallel storage platforms, influencing architectural standards and delivery outcomes while ensuring successful, on-time, and on-budget customer deployments without escalations. This is a remote work from home position, with an average travel expectation of approximately 10%, and a willingness for additional travel during peak project phases or critical customer engagements.
