GPU Architect

Remote ( Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Why This Role

Join a fast-growing team that is redefining cloud infrastructure for the AI era. The focus is on building platforms that enable customers to tackle complex real-world problems and scale innovation, without the burden of massive infrastructure investments or large internal AI/ML teams. You'll be working at the forefront of GPU and AI infrastructure alongside highly skilled engineers and industry leaders.

About the Position

We are looking for a GPU Cluster Architect to lead the design of large-scale, next-generation GPU clusters that underpin advanced AI workloads. This is a hands-on, senior role with responsibility for shaping architecture across compute, networking, and storage, ensuring systems deliver the scale, reliability, and performance demanded by today's AI and ML applications.

You'll be responsible for defining how very large GPU deployments are networked, powered, cooled, and optimised across multiple data centre environments.

Core Responsibilities:

Cluster Architecture: Design and define scalable topologies, spanning compute, interconnects (InfiniBand, Ethernet), storage, and orchestration layers.
Workload Analysis: Model and assess AI/ML workloads (such as LLM training and inference) to guide design choices on latency, bandwidth, and GPU density.
Networking: Collaborate with network specialists to implement and validate ultra-low latency, high-throughput solutions (InfiniBand HDR/NDR, RoCEv2) at rack, POD, and DC scale.
Data & Storage: Partner with storage teams to optimise training data access, checkpointing, and high-performance throughput.
Reliability & Observability: Translate signals from monitoring and telemetry systems into design improvements and reliability gains.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with reliability, networking, storage, and data centre engineering teams to deliver designs that scale seamlessly.

What You'll Bring:

5+ years of experience architecting or designing large-scale compute clusters
Strong knowledge of modern GPU platforms (e.g. NVIDIA, AMD)
Hands-on expertise with HPC interconnect technologies (InfiniBand, RoCE)
Background in systems architecture, hardware reliability, and networking fundamentals
Experience building automation and telemetry pipelines with scripting languages (Python, Go, etc.)

What's on Offer:

A competitive salary and full benefits package
Clear opportunities for professional development and growth
Flexibility with hybrid/remote work arrangements
A dynamic environment that rewards initiative, creativity, and innovation

If you're excited by the idea of shaping the backbone of large-scale AI infrastructure, we'd love to hear from you

The Future of Edge Computing Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Edge computing is one of the fastest-growing frontiers in technology. Where cloud computing centralises data and processing, edge computing pushes it closer to where data is generated—on devices, sensors, vehicles, and local hubs. This shift enables real-time decision-making, reduces latency, and powers innovations such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, augmented reality, and advanced manufacturing. In the UK, edge computing is gaining momentum as telecoms roll out 5G, manufacturers deploy IoT systems, and healthcare organisations adopt real-time monitoring. Government, industry, and academia are collaborating to establish the UK as a leader in edge-enabled innovation. Yet as with all transformative technologies, edge computing is only at the beginning of its journey. Many of the careers that will shape this sector in 10–20 years don’t exist today. This article explores why new roles are emerging, what they might look like, how current jobs will evolve, why the UK is well placed to lead, and how professionals can prepare.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Edge Computing Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's edge computing sector has emerged as one of Europe's most dynamic and technically demanding technology markets, with roles spanning from junior edge systems engineers to principal edge architects and heads of distributed computing. With edge computing positions commanding salaries from £35,000 for graduate systems engineers to £150,000+ for senior principal architects, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this cutting-edge and rapidly expanding field. Unlike traditional cloud computing roles, edge computing hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by IoT deployment cycles, 5G infrastructure rollouts, and distributed systems project timelines. The sector's unique combination of hardware-software integration, real-time processing requirements, and ultra-low latency demands creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in building tomorrow's distributed computing infrastructure. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for edge computing job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise IoT strategies, telecommunications infrastructure deployment, and Industry 4.0 initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a pioneering edge research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of distributed computing systems.

Pre-Employment Checks for Edge Computing Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in edge computing reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of distributed systems architecture, real-time processing, and critical infrastructure deployment. Edge computing professionals often have privileged access to mission-critical systems, industrial control networks, and sensitive operational data that form the backbone of autonomous systems and real-time decision-making capabilities. The edge computing industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning cyber security directives, industrial safety standards, and emerging IoT governance regulations. Edge computing specialists must demonstrate not only technical competence in distributed architecture and low-latency systems but also deep understanding of operational technology security, industrial protocols, and the safety implications of real-time autonomous systems. Modern edge computing roles frequently involve managing industrial control systems, autonomous vehicle networks, smart city infrastructure, and critical operational systems across multiple security domains and regulatory frameworks simultaneously. The combination of system-level privileges, real-time control capabilities, and safety-critical responsibilities makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining security, operational continuity, and public safety in edge-deployed systems.
