TL;DR · Technical Cloud Architect

The Technical Cloud Architect (Virtualization & Cloud Infrastructure) serves as a trusted technical advisor to large strategic customers. Working within the engineering and solutions architecture space, this role involves designing, validating, and adopting modern private cloud architectures powered by HPE CloudOps Software. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting technical whiteboard sessions, executing hands-on proof of concepts, and authoring design guides and reference architectures. The position requires deep expertise in KVM-based virtualization, automation tools like Ansible and Terraform, observability stacks, software-defined networking, and hyperconverged infrastructure storage. Candidates must possess production experience with VMware, Red Hat, or Nutanix platforms. This role solves complex infrastructure problems by providing structured product feedback to engineering and supporting the technical sales cycle from initial discovery through final deployment.

What you'll do

  • Act as a subject-matter expert on KVM virtualization and cloud infrastructure for strategic customers.
  • Design and execute proof of concepts to validate architecture decisions in customer environments.
  • Author design guides and reference architectures for deployment, scaling, and operations.
  • Provide structured product feedback to the engineering organization to shape the product roadmap.
  • Support the technical sales cycle from discovery through deployment in partnership with sales and product teams.
  • Lead technical whiteboard sessions to design modern private cloud architectures.

What we're looking for

  • Hands-on production experience with KVM-based hypervisor platforms and their surrounding ecosystem.
  • Experience with automation tools like Ansible, Terraform, or similar Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tooling.
  • Experience with observability stacks, software-defined networking (SDN), and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) storage.
  • Deep hands-on experience with VMware, Red Hat, Nutanix, or Hyperscalers.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both engineering and executive audiences.
  • Experience running customer-facing proofs of concept and producing technical documentation or design guides.
  • Experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid cloud architectures (preferred).
  • Relevant certifications such as RHCA, VCAP/VCDX, Nutanix NCA/NCX, or equivalent (preferred).
