The opportunity

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers.

What you'll do

  • Architect and define scalable compute platforms optimized for AI/ML,: simulation, and high-throughput workloads.

  • Develop compute system standards and design patterns to ensure consistency,: performance, and maintainability across infrastructure.

  • Evaluate emerging CPU, GPU, and accelerator technologies, owning: architectural tradeoff decisions that impact compute density, power, cooling, and total cost.

  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to map workload requirements: to compute platform capabilities across bare metal and cloud deployments.

  • Experience converting ambiguous business or customer needs into measurable: platform requirements, technical specifications, acceptance criteria, and architecture decisions.

  • Define compute platform roadmaps and architectural reference designs that: guide hardware selection, firmware baselines, rack-level, and cluster design.

What they're looking for

  • Act as a technical lead during new platform introductions, guiding validation: and performance characterization efforts.
  • Mentor systems engineers and cross-functional stakeholders on compute: performance tuning, sizing, and architectural decisions.
  • Proven experience (7+ years) architecting large-scale 10k-100k+ GPU HPC or cloud compute platforms.
  • Deep knowledge of CPU/GPU architectures, memory hierarchies, and accelerator topologies.
