Senior Solutions Architect, Generative AI Specialist

Full-time

About the Role

We are seeking a Generative AI Specialist to join our Advanced Technology Partner (ATP) team as a Senior Solutions Architect who thrives at the intersection of deep technical work and real-world enterprise impact. In this role, you will act as a trusted technical advisor and hands-on creator for NVIDIA's most sophisticated AI partners. You will lead groundbreaking prototyping and proof-of-concept collaborations that connect partners with key customers to accelerate the transition from concept to production. This outstanding position encourages you to scope, develop, build, and solve challenges alongside partners to leave behind reusable assets and validated solutions. If you want to develop how leading organizations around the globe adopt and deploy AI at scale, we want to meet you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Partner Alignment: Serve as the main technical contact for sophisticated AI collaborators, leading in-depth technical relationships and coordinating their roadmaps with NVIDIA's platform and emerging technology.
• Architectural Leadership: Lead end-to-end prototyping engagements by defining requirements and crafting reference architectures that guide partners from initial concept to production-ready handoffs.
• Applied AI Engineering: Build and architect enterprise-grade agentic AI systems, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and multi-modal workflows, delivering high-performance, GPU-accelerated inference at scale.
• Technical Problem Solving: Diagnose and resolve intricate system issues and performance bottlenecks across the full AI stack, from initial model selection to large-scale deployment.
• Scalable Asset Creation: Produce reusable technical assets, including implementation guides and benchmarks, that accelerate time-to-value for both partners and their customers.
• Multi-functional Collaboration: Work alongside NVIDIA’s internal engineering, research, and product teams to resolve critical partner challenges and speed up shared achievements.
• Team Growth and Practice Building: Champion team guidelines for technical reviews and discovery, while mentoring new members and participating in hiring panels to expand the team’s depth.
• Continuous Innovation: Commit to continuous professional growth through formal AI/ML certifications and special projects that elevate your value within the NVIDIA ecosystem.

What We Need To See

• 8+ years of relevant engineering experience crafting, developing, and deploying AI/ML systems and sophisticated LLM workflows.
• MS or advanced degree in Computer Science, AI, or a related field—or equivalent experience.
• Deep proficiency in advanced GenAI techniques, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), prompt engineering, and production inference optimization.
• Familiarity with agentic AI standards and expertise in building robust, production-grade multi-agent and multimodal architectures.
• Hands-on experience with model fine-tuning (PEFT, LoRA), synthetic data generation, and building automated evaluation frameworks.
• Strong command of GPU-optimized infrastructure, containerization, and MLOps pipelines for distributed training and inference.
• Understanding of AI observability and responsible AI practices, including guardrail implementation and regulatory compliance like GDPR or HIPAA.
• Experience bridging cloud and on-premises deployments and familiarity with Physical AI concepts such as edge inference.
• Proven track record of communicating complex technical concepts to both developer teams and executive stakeholders.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• A tangible body of work demonstrating your builder foundation: open-source contributions, publications, patents, recorded talks, technical blogs, or equivalent public artifacts.
• Skilled in NVIDIA's AI software suite including NVIDIA AI Enterprise (NVAIE), NIM inference microservices, NeMo, NeMo Curator, Nemotron model family, NVIDIA Blueprints, TensorRT, Triton Inference Server, CUDA libraries, and NVIDIA Agent Intelligence toolkit (NAI/NAT). Knowledge of new NVIDIA frameworks like NemoClaw/OpenShell.
• Experience engaging with Physical AI platforms like NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac Sim, Jetson edge computing, or in production robotics/autonomous systems implementations.
• Active participation in the AI community: conference presentations, open-source project leadership, or recognized expertise in a specific GenAI domain.
