• Own customer escalations and incidents, engaging directly with enterprise customers during high-visibility situations.

• Partner with Product and Engineering teams to influence design decisions and ensure future offerings are supportable and reliable.

• Stay current on the latest HPC and NVIDIA technologies, applying that knowledge to improve customer outcomes.

• Develop and refine support processes, documentation, and workflows to ensure consistency and best practices.

• Monitor and report on team performance, driving improvements in responsiveness, resolution quality, and customer satisfaction.

• Manage team schedules, including on-call responsibilities, to ensure 24/7 coverage for critical issues.

• Lead by example — actively participating in troubleshooting and case resolution when needed.

You

• Proven experience leading technical support or engineering teams, with a track record of building high-performing groups that deliver strong customer outcomes.

• Skilled at managing escalations, providing clear direction under pressure, and serving as the point of leadership in critical customer situations.

• Strong knowledge of HPC clusters, including GPU/InfiniBand systems, networking, and node-level troubleshooting.

• Advanced Linux administration and diagnostic skills.

• Skilled at motivating teams, setting direction, and developing engineers into strong technical contributors.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive, action-oriented mindset.

• Action-oriented, accountable, and able to align team priorities with company and customer goals.

Nice to have

• Advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

• Certifications in HPC, networking, or related technologies.

• Experience with Slurm, Kubernetes, InfiniBand, and other high-performance interconnects (RoCE, NVLink/NVSwitch).
