Solutions Architect
Quick Summary
time-to-first-token, tokens/sec, MFU, cost per training run, reliability targets. ● Own POCs end-to-end — scope, benchmarks, success metrics, timeline, stakeholder alignment.
Responsibilities
~1 min read● Take customers from signature to first successful production training run: provisioning, environment setup, validation benchmarks, and the unglamorous debugging in between.
● Serve as the named technical owner for your accounts after launch. You’re responsible for architecture reviews, capacity planning, performance and cost optimization, and technical workload reviews.
● Spot expansion before the customer asks: where they're capacity-constrained, what's coming on their roadmap, and what it will take to serve it.
● Create the assets the SA team runs on: demo environments, benchmarking harnesses, reference architectures, onboarding runbooks, evaluation playbooks, and competitive material.
● Be the highest-signal feedback loop into Product, Engineering, and Research — recurring gaps, competitive losses, and what customers actually ask for once they're in production.
● 5+ years in customer-facing technical roles, including 2+ years in pre-sales (Solutions Engineer, Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, or specialist SA).
● Direct experience selling or supporting GPU compute at a neocloud or GPU provider, or as an AI/HPC specialist at a hyperscaler or NVIDIA.
● Demonstrated ability to take a customer from evaluation into production and stay accountable for the outcome.
● Real fluency in large-scale training and inference: distributed training frameworks, multi-node topologies, InfiniBand/RoCE, storage and checkpointing, and where these break at scale.
● Comfort with Kubernetes and SLURM as scheduling environments customers actually run in.
● Enough Python to build a benchmark, a prototype, or an API integration yourself rather than waiting on engineering.
● A track record of owning technical evaluations in complex, multi-stakeholder deals and changing the outcome.
● Exceptional communication, able to hold a deep conversation with a distributed systems engineer and a CFO.
● Experience with frontier labs or AI-native companies as customers.
● Performance benchmarking, MFU analysis, or total-cost-of-training modeling.
● Having been the first or earliest SE somewhere.
● POCs convert reliably because evaluations are well-scoped, technically credible, and tied to customer ROI.
● Customers reach their first production training run fast, and what they saw in the POC is what they get.
● Accounts grow because you saw the constraint coming before the customer raised it.
● The assets you build let the next five SAs ramp in weeks instead of quarters.
● High-growth environment: Get in early at a company at the center of the AI infrastructure boom
● Competitive compensation: + meaningful equity
● Comprehensive benefits: for you and your dependents, including healthcare, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), and unlimited PTO
