Supermicro
Supermicro® is a top‑tier provider of advanced server, storage, and networking solutions for data centers, cloud computing, enterprise IT, Hadoop/Big Data, hyperscale, HPC and IoT/Embedded customers worldwide. As the #5 fastest‑growing company among the Silicon Valley Top 50 technology firms, we offer many new positions to the technology community.
Job Summary We seek a Senior Cloud Architect to own full‑lifecycle delivery of the SuperCloud Automation Center (SCAC) software orchestrator solutions. In this role you will translate business and technical requirements into secure, scalable architectures, standardize patterns, identify and mitigate risks, and guide customers from discovery and POC through production. Success requires strong program management, deep infrastructure/cloud automation expertise, and clear communication across teams.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Lead architecture design for cloud‑based orchestration and provisioning solutions
Evaluate new technologies and rapidly develop proof‑of‑concepts that can become production‑ready products
Own end‑to‑end solution delivery for SCAC discovery, architecture, implementation, and production readiness
Create and socialize architectural artifacts (HLD/LLD, integration diagrams, data flows, ADRs)
Design integration patterns across Supermicro Systems Management Software, Kubernetes, OpenShift, VMware, storage, network, and CI/CD
Identify and close design gaps and risks while proposing mitigation options with clear trade‑offs and TCO impact
Establish and enforce standards as reference architectures, golden paths, and IaC modules
Champion security‑by‑design with zero‑trust principles, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and compliance guardrails
Define orchestration workflows for cluster bring‑up, upgrades, patching, and teardown
Specify installer strategy and UX, including preflight checks, image registry, mirror configuration, repository layout, admin node, IP addressing, and hypervisor flags
Formalize integration contracts, API contracts, and telemetry/logging with SCAC and external registries
Lead performance, scalability, modeling, and validation (concurrency limits, queue backoff, artifact caching)
Guide delivery execution from design to GA, including acceptance criteria, risk registers, exit gates, and sign‑offs for security, scale, and operability
Validate end‑to‑end solutions in reference labs and customer environments, ensuring upgrade/rollback readiness, versioning, and packing strategy
Qualifications
BS in Computer Science, Computer/Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
Architectural experience of 8+ years in a formal architect role, owning HLD and LLD with cross‑team design inputs
Strong Python coding, analysis, debugging, and problem‑solving skills
Hands‑on Linux development, Docker, containers, and experience with OpenShift or vanilla Kubernetes (controllers, operators, multi‑clusters)
Experience with Git‑based development, SQL or NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL), and RESTful API design
Security fundamentals, zero‑trust principles, image signing, and SBOM basics in vulnerability management
Experience architecting end‑to‑end solutions and system‑management frameworks for private cloud‑based offerings
Excellent communication and documentation skills
Salary Range $180,000 – $200,000. The salary offered will depend on location, level, education, training, specific skills, years of experience, and comparison to other employees in this role. Additional compensation may include bonuses and equity award programs.
