Job description

Software AI & Cloud Architect (SDA Team)

The Mission:

Scaling our Software Architecture

What You’ll Do

• Architect the Future: Design modern software solutions for complex bids, moving beyond standard monitoring to architect OpenShift ecosystems and multi‑tenant environments to architect HPC/AI hybrid cloud environments.
• Scale our Reach: Partner with the existing software lead to cover an increasing volume of deals, ensuring every tender receives top‑tier architectural design.
• Be the Technical Voice: Analyze and translate precise customer requirements into airtight technical architectures. You will own the software chapters of our technical proposals.
• On‑Site Defense: Stand in front of CIOs and lead researchers to defend our architectural choices and prove our software superiority.
• Product Influence: Act as a bridge to Product Management and R&D. Your frontline experience will directly influence the development of our future “as‑a‑Service” (aaS) software models.
• Deal Strategy: Collaborate with the wider SDA team to build financially and technically viable solutions that win Tier‑0 projects.

The Tech Stack

• Virtualization: Expertise in both “Light” (Containers) and “Heavy” (KVM/VM) virtualization.
• AI Pipelines: Deep understanding of training and inference workflows.
• OS Foundation: Native‑level fluency in Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu/CoreOS).
• The “Plus”: Knowledge of Cluster management software, Slurm, InfiniBand, or parallel file systems.

Who You Are

• The Hybrid Profile: You likely have a Systems Administration background but pivoted into the Cloud/AI world. You know the “plumbing” as well as the “architecture.”
• Curious & Autonomous: You don't wait for a manual; you install, test, and break things to understand how they work.
• Resilient: You thrive in the high‑pressure environment of a deeply technical presales team managing large‑scale tenders.
• Communicator: You can explain the complexity of a container escape or a multi‑tenant isolation strategy to a C‑level executive as easily as to a developer.

Why Join the SDA Team?

• Technical Elite: Join a group of 25 architects where deep technical knowledge is the primary currency.
• Sovereignty: Under the APE (French State agency) umbrella, you are working for European technological independence.
• Strategic Growth: You are not just a “support” person; you are a key pillar in a team scaling up to meet the most exciting challenges in modern computing.
