Job Summary

Lead Armada’s long-term technical vision as a builder-leader and primary architect, tackling high-density compute, massive-scale AI infrastructure, and next-horizon projects (e.g., Data Centers in Space) while mentoring staff and collaborating with elite partners to expand adoption across terrestrial and orbital fronts.
Location: San Francisco
Workplace: Hybrid
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Design (Product/UX/UI/Visual)

Key Responsibilities

  • •Architecting the Universal Edge: Lead the evolution of the Armada Edge Platform (AEP), ensuring seamless orchestration of compute and AI workloads across globally distributed, high-latency, and disconnected environments.
  • •Next Horizon Projects: Drive the architectural roadmap for visionary initiatives, including Data Centers in Space. This involves adapting the Armada stack for orbital compute modules and solving for the unique challenges of Low Earth Orbit (LEO)—including radiation-tolerant software, thermal management, and power-constrained AI processing.
  • •Strategic Partner Engineering: Work directly with elite industry partners to co-design solutions that integrate Armada’s technology deeper into their global ecosystems. You will ensure our platform becomes the standard infrastructure for compute, whether terrestrial or orbital.
  • •Technical Strategy: Partner with Company Leadership to define the 3–5 year technical roadmap, identifying emerging technologies in high-density GPU orchestration and orbital data processing that align with our long-term business goals.
  • •Hard-Problem Solver: Act as the final point of escalation for complex architectural challenges involving real-time data streaming, computer vision, and network-aware workload distribution.
