The team

The team must do much more than keep the wheels turning; it is the engine that drives functional excellence and the enabler of innovation and long-term growth.

Key responsibilities

• Own end-to-end architecture across NVIDIA GPU compute, CPU/DPU, management nodes, control plane, high-speed fabrics, storage, backup and security.
• Design and deploy DGX/HGX or NVIDIA-certified GPU clusters and select fit-for-purpose GPU platforms for training, fine-tuning, visualization, batch inference and real-time inference.
• Architect InfiniBand, Spectrum-X Ethernet and RoCE networks, including topology, rail optimization, congestion control, OOB management, telemetry and performance engineering.
• Define high-performance file and object storage architectures covering checkpointing, data staging, metadata, throughput, IOPS, resiliency and data lifecycle requirements.
• Engineer AI data-centre requirements covering rack layout, GPU density, power, cooling, cabling, physical resilience, capacity expansion and DCIM/monitoring integration.
• Implement Kubernetes/OpenShift and/or Slurm-based platforms, including GPU scheduling, NVIDIA GPU/Network Operators, MIG, quotas, tenancy, workload isolation and policy enforcement.
• Integrate and operationalize NVIDIA AI Enterprise, CUDA, NCCL, NIM, NeMo, Triton, DCGM and approved AI model/runtime services.
• Establish automated provisioning, firmware and driver lifecycle management, image management, validation, burn-in, acceptance testing and performance benchmarking.
• Operate the platform using SRE principles, with comprehensive observability, incident and problem management, capacity planning, patching, disaster recovery and security controls.
• Optimize GPU utilization, job throughput, tokens per second, workload performance, energy efficiency and cost per workload.
• Own the market proposition, account strategy, pipeline development, strategic alliances and executive relationships for AI infrastructure services.
• Shape multi-year AI infrastructure transformation programmes and lead commercial negotiations, governance, delivery quality, risk management and business economics.
• Build, mentor and retain a nationally recognized team of AI data-centre, GPU, network, storage, cloud and platform engineering specialists.
