Solution Architect AIDepartment: Cloud Presales Location: Mumbai / Chennai Job PurposeTo architect, design, and implement GPU-enabled High Performance Computing (HPC) and AI/ML platform solutions that are scalable, secure, and optimized to support enterprise AI, ML/DL workloads, simulation, and large-scale data analytics. This role will define infrastructure strategies, workload placement, performance tuning, and managed service roadmaps for GPU and HPC platforms within the Data Centre business.Key ResponsibilitiesPlatform Architecture & DesignArchitect GPU and HPC infrastructure platforms for AI/ML training, inference, and HPC workloads. Design GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaa S) models including on-demand, reserved, and burst GPU clusters. Integrate AI/ML frameworks (Tensor Flow, Py Torch, Kube Flow, Jupyter Hub, etc.) into enterprise-ready stacks. Infrastructure & Workload OptimizationOptimize performance tuning, resource scheduling, and workload orchestration across HPC clusters and GPU nodes. Enhance distributed training, model parallelism, and storage bandwidth utilization (NVMe, Lustre, GPFS, Ceph). AI/ML Platform EnablementProvide cloud-native environments with containerized ML workflows (Kubernetes, Docker, Singularity). Build and manage model hosting and inference platforms (REST APIs, containerized inference servers). Security & ComplianceImplement data security, encryption, access control, and compliance frameworks for sensitive AI/HPC workloads. Architect air-gapped solutions for government/defense workloads when required. Technology Integration & InnovationEvaluate and integrate next-generation GPUs (NVIDIA H200/A100/L40 S, AMD MI300, etc.), HPC accelerators, and AI chipsets. Enable hybrid and hyperconverged AI infrastructure combining GPU, CPU, and storage resources. Customer & Business EnablementCollaborate with data scientists, researchers, and enterprise customers to align platform capabilities with business outcomes. Define GPU/HPC platform services catalog and managed service offerings. Automation & Dev OpsImplement MLOps pipelines, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible), and workload scheduling (SLURM, Kubernetes).
