What You'll Do:

Our Solutions Architecture team at Weights & Biases is a unique hybrid organization, combining the deep technical skills of Site Reliability Engineering with the consultative expertise of Solutions Architecture. We focus on ensuring customers can successfully deploy and operate W&B across cloud and on-prem environments while delivering a best-in-class experience that accelerates ML adoption at scale. The team is the last technical mile between a signed contract and a customer training models in production — and increasingly, the team that decides how fast that happens.

About the Role:

As Director, Solutions Architecture, you'll own the function across [REGION] — the team, the operating model, and the outcomes. You'll lead managers and senior individual contributors responsible for how W&B is deployed and operated in our largest and most complex accounts, across AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-prem and air-gapped environments. Your central problem is leverage: how technical delivery scales without headcount scaling linearly with revenue, through coverage design, automation, reference architectures, partner enablement, and the management layer you build beneath you. You'll be a peer to Sales, Field Engineering, Support, and Product leadership — accountable alongside them for adoption, retention, and expansion in region — and you'll carry the clearest signal we have on customer reality into roadmap and platform investment. Externally, you'll serve as executive technical sponsor for strategic accounts and the face of W&B engineering credibility in [REGION].

• Own Solutions Architecture across [REGION]: strategy, operating model, headcount plan, capacity forecasting, and leveling
• Build and develop the management layer — hire and coach managers and team leads rather than remaining the single escalation point
• Define how deployments scale: reference architectures, automation and IaC standards, deployment SLAs, and quality bars across sub-regions
• Operate as a senior cross-functional partner to Sales, Field Engineering, Support, and Product leadership, jointly accountable for regional adoption, retention, and expansion
• Stand up leverage programs that reduce direct delivery load — customer and partner enablement, certification, self-service tooling, and documentation
• Serve as executive technical sponsor for strategic accounts, including escalation ownership at the CTO and VP Engineering level
• Translate aggregated field evidence into prioritized roadmap and platform investment recommendations with Product and Engineering leadership
• Own the regional forecast for technical delivery capacity, including partner-led and services-led models where they apply

Who You Are:

• 5+ years leading a customer-facing technical organization, including 2+ years managing managers or team leads
• 12+ years total experience with a hands-on infrastructure, platform, SRE, or solutions engineering foundation
• Demonstrated track record scaling a post-sales or field technical function through a step change in revenue, customer count, or geography — with the coverage, escalation, and SLA model to show for it
• Technical depth sufficient to lead an architecture review: Kubernetes, Helm, containerization, networking, storage, and cloud-managed services
• Production experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform, and with IaC standards adopted across a team
• Proficiency across multiple cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) plus on-prem or self-managed deployment experience
• Strong Linux/Unix command line experience
• Familiarity with ML workflows, MLOps tooling, and how ML platforms are operated in production
