Data Center Infrastructure and Technology Lead Arhitect

Role Summary

Lead and drive next-generation infrastructure architecture development across Hyve’s CTO Architecture organization spanning compute, server, storage, networking, rack-scale infrastructure, systems software, power, cooling, and operational architecture. This role is a senior hands-on technical leadership position responsible for driving technical depth, architectural quality, technology direction, and engineering excellence across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive technical architecture development across multiple CTO Architecture functions including: platform architectures, systems architecture, storage architecture, solutions architect, rack/POD/datacenter power architecture, platform power and cooling, PnP and performance optimization, firmware/software manageability and telemetry, board architecture and BOM optimization, SI/PI architecture, engineering automation and AI-assisted tooling, ecosystem technology strategy.
• Provide deep architectural guidance across infrastructure hardware, software, networking, storage, and operational systems. Drive development of technically rigorous system specifications, architecture definitions, design reviews, and engineering standards.
• Evaluate and guide architectural tradeoffs across: performance, power, cooling, scalability, manufacturability, serviceability, deployment efficiency, operational reliability.
• Partner with architecture and engineering teams to shape future compute, server, storage, networking, and rack-scale infrastructure platforms. Help drive architecture consistency and technical quality across platforms, systems, and customer solutions.
• Provide technical leadership for complex customer and ecosystem engagements. Mentor architects and senior engineers across multiple technical disciplines.
• Guide technical direction for infrastructure software, telemetry, automation, orchestration, and engineering productivity tooling. Influence technology selection, ecosystem alignment, and future infrastructure roadmap direction.
• Support evaluation and hiring of senior technical talent across the architecture organization. Drive cross-functional technical collaboration between architecture, engineering, manufacturing, operations, and customer teams.
• Help define scalable engineering development mechanisms and technical review processes that improve execution quality and architectural consistency.

Qualifications

• 15–20+ years in systems architecture, infrastructure engineering, networking, Linux systems, distributed systems, or hyperscale infrastructure.
• Deep expertise in: networking, systems, Linux systems and kernel architecture, low-level software and drivers, distributed infrastructures, systems engineering, datacenter infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of modern datacenter infrastructure architectures spanning: compute platforms, server systems, networking fabrics, storage infrastructure, telemetry and manageability, power and cooling, rack-scale systems.
• Experience operating across hardware and software architecture domains.
• Strong understanding of ODM/OEM infrastructure development environments.
• Experience driving technical architecture and engineering execution across large cross-functional organizations.
• Strong technical judgment with ability to assess architectures, specifications, engineering quality, and implementation approaches.
• Widely respected technical credibility within engineering and infrastructure communities.
• Excellent technical communication and mentoring capability.
• Able to operate effectively across both deep technical problem solving and broad architectural leadership.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with hyperscaler or large-scale enterprise infrastructure environments.
• Background in open-source infrastructure ecosystems.
• Familiarity with infrastructure software stacks and large-scale orchestration environments.
• Experience with rack-scale compute, storage, or networking infrastructure.
• Understanding of manufacturing-scale infrastructure deployment and operationalization.
• Experience with infrastructure telemetry, observability, and automation frameworks.
