The role will require comfort operating across the US and other global markets as G42 Americas scales its AI infrastructure platform and commercial presence.\nWe are open to candidates located anywhere across the West Coast.\nResponsibilities:\nTechnical Discovery and Qualification\nPartner with account leaders to qualify and shape strategic hyperscaler and cloud infrastructure opportunities.\nLead technical discovery with cloud architecture, infrastructure, platform engineering, silicon, networking and data-center stakeholders.\nArchitecture and Solution Design\nDevelop solution architectures and technical-commercial narratives for large-scale GPU and AI infrastructure deployments.\nTranslate requirements covering performance, reliability, tenancy, networking, storage, orchestration, security and operations into differentiated solutions.\nValidation and Pursuit Support\nCoordinate benchmarks, validations, workshops, proofs of concept, RFP/RFI responses and executive technical presentations.\nSupport technical risk assessment and implementation readiness.\nField Enablement\nProvide field feedback and develop reusable reference architectures, playbooks and competitive guidance.\nCoordinate engineering, product, delivery, finance, legal and sales contributors.\nQualifications:\nRequired\n8-12 years in solution architecture, pre-sales engineering, cloud infrastructure, HPC or AI platforms.\nExperience supporting hyperscaler, cloud, semiconductor or large-scale infrastructure pursuits.\nHands-on understanding of GPUs, networking, storage, orchestration, performance and infrastructure economics.\nCandidates must have demonstrated experience in AI infrastructure, including GPUs, accelerated computing, and related ecosystems.\n\nAbility to influence senior technical and commercial stakeholders.\nBachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or equivalent experience.\nPreferred\nExperience at a hyperscaler, NeoCloud, semiconductor company, OEM or AI infrastructure provider.\nKnowledge of capacity commitments, joint roadmaps and multi-year infrastructure agreements.\nWhat Sets You Apart\nYou bring deep technical credibility in high-performance computing, GPU infrastructure and large-scale distributed systems.\nYou simplify complex architecture and performance questions without losing technical rigor.\nYou connect technical design choices with commercial and operational outcomes.\nG42 Americas is a company for builders. We are scaling at extraordinary speed, and we run the business the way founders do: hands-on, close to the work, biased to action and personally accountable for outcomes.\nHands-on leadership. Our leaders go deep. They build, ship and own outcomes; they do not simply oversee.\nFounder mode. High ownership, high velocity, direct communication, and minimal bureaucracy.\nRoom to shape. The blank canvas and pace of a startup, built on the foundation of an established global business with capital, customers, infrastructure, and world-class partners already in place.\n Build something great. We are assembling a few exceptional people to build a generational company, and we expect everyone who joins to leave a personal mark on what gets built.\nWe are building for long-term impact, and our rewards philosophy is designed to attract leaders who can help shape that future.\nThe compensation structure consists of base salary with bonus, LTIP and benefits on top.
