Infrastructure Architect

Role Overview We are looking for a Principal Infrastructure Architect to join our IT PMO organization to take responsibility and lead the design, orchestration, and lifecycle management of our next-generation GPU Farm and AI Factory environments. This role is unique in its breadth, requiring a deep understanding of high-performance AI compute stacks alongside the disciplined management of physical data center assets and their long-term operational health. You will bridge the gap between R D engineering requirements and the physical realities of global data center operations. Key Responsibilities

AI & GPU

Infrastructure Design (GPU Farm / AI Factory) Lead the architectural design and refinement of the Nutanix GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) platform, ensuring a seamless experience for internal R D, QA, and Sales teams. Provide technical leadership in some of the key initiatives such as Nutanix Validated Designs (NVD) for the AI Factory, incorporating

NVIDIA MGX/HGX

architectures and high-density Cisco nodes (e.g., UCS 845A). Architect the Management Cluster control plane (NKP, Prism Central, NuDeploy) to ensure it is decoupled from GPU compute nodes for maximum efficiency. Implement policy-driven placement of workloads across on-prem and cloud-burst environments. Data Center Asset & Lifecycle Management Design solution for a centralized Data Center Asset Inventory system, ensuring real-time visibility into all hardware assets, including CPUs, GPUs, Virtual Machines, and networking. Develop a comprehensive Hardware Lifecycle Management strategy, including procurement forecasting, "rack and stack" operationalization, and decommissioning of legacy systems (G3/G4/G5). Lead "Tiger Team" initiatives to navigate supply chain constraints, ensuring critical release milestones are not delayed by hardware shortages. Enforce strict Security Standards for Data Center HW Provisioning. Implement network segmentation for all the critical applications. Ensure all infrastructure meets SOC 2 and

ISO 27001

compliance objectives while maintaining low-latency performance. Special Projects Provide required architecture and designs during the project intake process. Review, guide the teams for right architecture for all demands before they become approved projects. Partner with security team and provide guidelines for upcoming projects. Involve and lead projects as an architect on special projects. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Business, or a related field 5+ years of experience in Data Center projects in an enterprise environment Knowledge of Cisco, Dell, HPE, Supermicro hardware.
