• Lead workshops, deep-dives, and technical training sessions to enable customer success
• Work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and support teams to solve customer challenges and shape OCI's roadmap
• Create and share technical assets like code samples, demos, blogs, and whitepapers
• Collaborate with key AI partners to co-develop and deploy customer-centric solutions

What You Bring Technical Skills

• Deep, hands-on experience with GPU/HPC architecture, both on-prem and in the cloud
• Strong proficiency in Python, Bash, PowerShell, Terraform, and Ansible
• Solid understanding of cluster managers (e.g. SLURM, PBS, Bright), Kubernetes, and container orchestration
• Experience with RDMA, Infiniband, MPI, and distributed storage systems
• Knowledge of AI/ML platforms, large language models (LLMs), and inference-serving frameworks
• Strong cloud-native background (preferably with OCI or similar platforms)

Business & Leadership Skills

• 5+ years in pre-sales, solution architecture, or customer-facing technical roles
• Excellent communicator, able to engage both technical teams and executive stakeholders
• Customer-focused mindset with a drive to deliver real-world solutions
• Ability to turn complex technical concepts into business-aligned strategies

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field
