Join VultrThe GPU-focused Technical Account Manager (TAM) leads the post-sales technical success of customers deploying large-scale AI, training, inference, and high-performance GPU workloads on the company’s platform. This includes customers using NVIDIA GPU clusters, AMD GPU clusters, GPU VMs, and rack-scale bare-metal environments.

You will act as a trusted advisor across LLM training, fine-tuning, RAG workloads, distributed training frameworks, storage throughput requirements, multi-GPU scaling, and performance tuning. This role requires deep technical fluency and exceptional customer management skills to help AI/ML teams achieve predictable, cost-efficient, high-performance outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

AI/GPU Onboarding & Workload Architecture

• Lead onboarding for customers deploying GPU clusters (bare metal, VMs, or hybrid).

• Advise on cluster design: multi-GPU topology, NVLink/NVSwitch considerations, RDMA, Infiniband and RoCE Ethernet, networking throughput, and storage IOPS requirements.

• Guide customers in selecting GPU types and configurations based on workload (training, fine-tuning, inference, embeddings, RAG pipelines).

• Support distributed frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow, DeepSpeed, Megatron, JAX, Ray, Mosaic, HuggingFace, etc.

• Advanced hands on Kubernetes skills

• Advanced hands on SLURM skills

Performance Optimization & Scaling

• Identify bottlenecks (network, storage, memory bandwidth).

• Help customers evaluate cost vs. performance tradeoffs (GPU mix, CPU pairing, instance types, cluster sizing).

Technical Relationship Ownership

• Own the long-term technical strategy across assigned GPU/AI accounts, including hyperscalers, labs, and high-growth AI startups.

• Host recurring technical review meetings, roadmap reviews, and optimization sessions.

• Define scaling plans, future GPU reservation needs, and capacity forecasting.

• Incident & Escalation Management

• Partner with Support, SRE, Networking, NOC, and Product Management & Engineering to resolve high-urgency incidents.

• Manage outage communications, corrective action plans, and postmortem reviews with customers.

• Advocate for GPU reliability improvements and influence roadmap priorities.

Account Growth & Expansion

• Identify opportunities for expanded clusters, high speed storage, or networking upgrades.

• Support Sales with technical validation and architecture diagrams needed for expansion.

Customer Advocacy & Product Feedback
