Technical Cloud Architect (Virtualization & Cloud Infrastructure)

Technical Cloud Architect (Virtualization & Cloud Infrastructure)This role has been designed as ‘Hybrid’ with an expectation that you will work on average 2 days per week from an HPE office.

Job Description:

About the Role

We are looking for a Technical Cloud Architect to serve as a trusted technical advisor to our largest strategic customers. You will bring deep, hands-on expertise in KVM-based virtualization and the surrounding ecosystem — automation, observability, software-defined networking (SDN), and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) storage — to help customers design, validate, and adopt modern private cloud architectures powered with HPE CloudOps Software

This is a customer-facing, high-impact role that sits at the intersection of pre-sales engineering, solutions architecture, and product strategy. You'll spend your time in technical whiteboard sessions, hands-on proof of concepts, and writing the design guidance that shapes how customers deploy at scale — while also being a direct voice back into our engineering organization.

What You'll Do

• Engage with large strategic customers on technical and architectural discussions, acting as a subject-matter expert on KVM virtualization and adjacent cloud infrastructure technologies
• Design and execute proof of concepts (PoCs) that demonstrate solution value and validate architecture decisions in customer environments
• Author design guides and reference architectures that document best practices for deployment, scaling, and operations
• Provide structured product feedback to engineering, representing the voice of the customer and helping shape the roadmap
• Partner with sales, product management, and customer success teams to support the technical sales cycle from discovery through deployment

What You'll Bring

• Hands-on production experience with KVM-based hypervisor platforms and their surrounding ecosystem, including:
  • Automation (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, or similar IaC tooling)
  • Observability (monitoring, logging, and telemetry stacks for virtualized infrastructure)
  • Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
  • Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) storage

• Deep hands-on experience at VMware, Red Hat, or Nutanix, or Hyperscalers
• Strong ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both engineering and executive audiences
• Experience running customer-facing proofs of concept and producing technical documentation or design guides
• Comfort working cross-functionally with engineering, product, and sales teams
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Nice to Have

• Experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid cloud architectures
• Relevant certifications (RHCA, VCAP/VCDX, Nutanix NCA/NCX, or equivalent)
• Prior experience in a solutions architect, technical field engineer, or customer-facing pre-sales role
