Senior Solutions Architect, Healthcare and Life Sciences

Large language models are helping understand the language of biology and chemistry and fundamentally changing how drugs are discovered and developed.

To advance these efforts we are looking for a Senior Solutions Architect to work with life sciences customers in North America focused on accelerated drug discovery.

At NVIDIA, our Solution Architects are drawn from elite developers and scientists who enjoy working with the latest in GPU hardware and software.

NVIDIA’s platform for machine learning, deep learning and high-performance computing have already made a major impact on the healthcare domain and are used across leading pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers, academic medical centers, and start-ups.

We need a passionate, hard-working, and creative individual to help us pursue more of these opportunities in the revolution that is happening in AI-powered drug discovery.

This role requires becoming a trusted technical advisor and leader to our customers in pharma and biotech who believe that accelerated computing and artificial intelligence is a new computing revolution and has the potential to transform the entire healthcare domain.

Your duties will vary from inventing proof-of-concept demonstrations, to driving relationships with key executives and managers to promote accelerated computing.

What you will be doing :

You will partner with our business / account team working with customers to develop a keen understanding of their goals, strategies, and technical needs and help define and deliver high-value solutions meeting these needs.

Staying up on the state of the art in the production deep learning and machine learning ecosystem. You will be called on to help architect and scale high-performance, distributed, AI deployments that are built on the latest NVIDIA GPU supercomputers.

Dynamically engaging with developers, scientific researchers, data scientists, IT managers and senior leaders is a meaningful part of the Solutions Architect role and will give you experience across a range of technical areas.

Document what you know and teach others. This can vary from building targeted training for partners and other Solutions Architects, to writing whitepapers, blogs, and wiki articles, to simply working through hard problems with a customer on a whiteboard.

Be an industry leader with vision on integrating NVIDIA technology into AI and HPC architectures for advanced applications, such as medical imaging or drug discovery.

Strategically partner with lighthouse customers and industry-specific solution partners targeting our computing platform.

We make heavy use of conferencing tools, but some travel is required for this role. You are empowered to find the best way to get your job done and make our customers successful.
