What you'll do
- Shape technical designs for AI opportunities spanning NVIDIA, neocloud and enterprise customer work
- Lead discovery, reference designs and proofs of concept for GPU clusters and AI factories
- Work directly with customer and partner architects on data movement, parallel access, locality and operations
- Prepare field and partner teams to handle routine AI designs and proofs of concept independently
- Bring deployment gaps to Product, and escalate stalled proofs of concept or architecture issues when needed
What you bring
- You have worked as a solutions architect or senior sales engineer on AI or GPU infrastructure deals
- You bring depth in NVIDIA, AI neocloud or enterprise AI platforms, with enough range to work across all three
- You can take an AI-path proof of concept from data access and performance through operational handoff
- You understand GPU-based training and inference, checkpointing, high-throughput file or object access, and multi-site data
Who this fits
This suits a customer-facing technical role spanning NVIDIA, neocloud and enterprise AI work worldwide. You own technical deal work, not sales quota, partner-program design, product messaging or new-logo development. Pull in Field CTO specialists for hardware-partner or HPC needs, and escalate stuck issues to the Director.
From the employer
Hammerspace is a fast-growing software company building the data foundation for the AI era. We are changing how organizations access, move, and use unstructured data by eliminating data silos and creating a single, high-performance data environment across sites, clouds, and storage systems. This ensures AI, GPUs, HPC, and data-intensive applications can operate at full speed.
Our technology combines a high-performance parallel global file system with intelligent data orchestration to make data available wherever compute needs it, without disruptive migrations or infrastructure lock-in. The result is faster AI pipelines, higher GPU utilization, quicker time-to-insight, and a radically simpler way for researchers, developers, and enterprises to put their data to work.
About the role
Hammerspace is seeking a senior, customer-facing Global Enterprise AI Solutions Architect, Working hand in hand with the Global Enterprise Sales Executive, you will accelerate the adoption of the Hammerspace NVIDIA AI Data Platform (AIDP) with large enterprise customers worldwide.
This individual will position Hammerspace as the data foundation for enterprise AI—making distributed, unstructured data across on-premises, cloud, edge, and heterogeneous storage environments accessible, governed, searchable, and ready for AI. The focus includes Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), enterprise search, agentic AI, AI copilots, knowledge management, research assistants, model development, inference, and AI data pipelines.
You will own the technical work on those deals: POCs, the architecture that sits on NVIDIA systems, and the software stack where it meets the Hammerspace data path.
What you will do
- Own solution architecture for AI opportunities across three motions: NVIDIA ecosystem, AI neoclouds, and enterprise AI.
- Lead technical discovery, reference designs, and POCs that put Hammerspace on the critical path for GPU clusters and AI factories.
- Sit with NVIDIA, neocloud, and enterprise AI architects and SEs without a translator — data path, parallelism, locality, and operational reality.
- Enable Hammerspace Field and partner teams to run routine AI-path POCs and designs without escalating every engagement.
- Pull Field CTO hardware-partner or HPC architecture when the problem needs that specialty; escalate to the Director when a POC, severity issue, or coverage gap is stuck.
- Feed Product real gaps from NVIDIA, neocloud, and enterprise AI deployments.
- Hand off pure commercial alliance or partner-program work to Partner Enablement; hand off product messaging to Presales.
What good looks like in six months
- AI deals in flight across NVIDIA, neocloud, and enterprise AI have a named solutions architect.
- Routine AI-path technical work does not consume Field CTO capacity.
- Partners and Field can run a routine AI POC or reference design without you on every call.
- Stuck POCs, architecture blockers, severity issues, and coverage gaps reach the Director the same day.
- You know when to finish it yourself, when to pull a Field CTO specialty, and when to escalate.
What you bring
Required
- Experience as a solutions architect or senior SE on AI / GPU infrastructure deals
- Depth in at least one of: NVIDIA ecosystem, AI neocloud platforms, or enterprise AI platforms — and fluency to work across all three
- Ability to run an AI-path POC end to end (data path, performance, operational handoff)
- Comfort with GPU-centric architectures: training/inference pipelines, checkpoints, high-throughput file/object access, multi-site data
Preferred
- Direct work with NVIDIA partner or customer field organizations
- Neocloud or GPU-cloud deployment experience
- Enterprise AI platform engagements (MLOps, feature/training stores, model factories)
- Storage or data-platform background adjacent to AI clusters
- Experience enabling field teams and partner SEs to run without you in the room
You do not need to match every bullet. AI Solutions Architect here is a global motion across NVIDIA, neocloud, and enterprise AI — not a single logo or a single theater.
What this role does not own
- Field CTO hardware-partner or HPC architecture ownership worldwide
- Partner or channel program design, partner tiering, or enablement calendar (Partner Enablement)
- Product narrative and use-case marketing (Presales)
- New-logo development (Customer Research)
- Sales quota
- Hardware-partner specialist coverage for general OEM / appliance motions (separate Specialist SE openings)
