Solutions Architect, Frontier AI Startups
About the role
We are looking for technical builders who are passionate about helping startups at the frontier of AI to grow. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable in deep architectural conversations and advisory discussions. For someone who understands that for a startup, the right technical decision and the right business decision are rarely separate.
In this position, you will work directly with a portfolio of frontier AI startups, helping them architect, train, fine-tune, and deploy AI systems at scale. Your conversations will range from low-level discussions about chip types to high-level explorations of advanced prompt engineering. Your work will extend beyond individual customer relationships. You will serve as a direct feedback channel to product teams, translating patterns you observe across your portfolio into concrete input on what should be built and improved. You will contribute to the broader technical community through written content and conference presentations, sharing knowledge at a scale that one-on-one work alone cannot reach.
