As the Manager of HPC Solutions Architecture, you will oversee a team of domain-specialist architects spanning compute, storage, security, Kubernetes, networking, and systems integration. This team engages directly with customers to design and deliver high-performance computing (HPC) solutions that are secure, scalable, resilient, and optimized for workload-specific needs. You will guide your team through the entire customer lifecycle — from early engagement and requirements discovery, through solution design, proof-of-concepts, and deployment, to ongoing optimization and adoption. Your role will ensure that customers achieve measurable value at every stage while maintaining the flexibility to scale as their workloads evolve. In addition to managing delivery, you will serve as a trusted advisor and strategic partner, building strong customer relationships and ensuring architectures align with both technical priorities and business objectives. You will also collaborate closely with product and engineering teams, turning field insights into reference architectures, reusable design patterns, and platform enhancements that strengthen the overall ecosystem. This role offers the opportunity to shape the strategic direction of HPC solutions, influence product innovation, and establish best practices that drive customer success, platform scalability, and architectural excellence.
