We operate 8 of our own GPU clusters across the U.S. and Asia, delivering a full spectrum of services from GPU compute service to AI model inference API solutions. As an NVIDIA Reference Platform Cloud Partner, our infrastructure meets the highest standards for performance, security, and scalability in AI deployments. We empower AI startups and enterprises to “build AI without limits,” providing everything they need to prototype, train, and deploy AI models quickly and reliably.

About this role

We’re seeking a Sr. Technical Account Manager (TAM) with a strong customer-first approach, technical expertise, and a passion for solving complex challenges. You will play a critical role in ensuring customers have an outstanding experience with GPU Cloud by addressing their needs proactively, resolving technical challenges promptly, and advocating for their success. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, excel in building strong customer relationships, and are driven to deliver exceptional service, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

Building Strong Customer Relationships

• Serve as the primary technical contact for customers, addressing inquiries and issues promptly and effectively.

• Advocate for customers within GMI Cloud, ensuring their needs influence product roadmaps and service enhancements.

• Conduct workshops, training sessions, and tailored consultations to help customers maximize GPU Cloud utilization.

Proactive Problem-Solving & Technical Guidance

• Monitor customer environments to identify potential risks and performance bottlenecks, implementing preventative measures.

• Guide customers in designing and optimizing GPU-based system architectures, ensuring performance, scalability, and stability.

• Support cloud migrations by leveraging expertise in high-performance computing, AI/ML workloads, and data processing.

Cloud Optimization & Operational Excellence

• Conduct operational reviews to assess resource utilization, performance improvements, and cost optimization opportunities.

• Collaborate with customers to enhance business continuity, disaster recovery, and system monitoring capabilities.

• Drive continuous improvements, empowering customers to independently maintain and scale their cloud environments.

Required Skills

1. AI Infrastructure: Understanding of GPU servers, storage (Ceph, NVMe, NFS), and high-speed networking (InfiniBand, RoCE).
2. Kubernetes (K8s): Understanding of container orchestration, scheduling, and networking.
3. AI/LLM: Familiarity with large language model training and inference workflows.
4. Frameworks: Working knowledge of SGLang, vLLM, Slurm, and Ray (Anyscale) or equivalent distributed computing tools.
5. Communication: Clear and confident in technical discussions with customers and internal teams.

Preferred Qualifications

1. Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification is preferred.
2. Hands-on experience in HPC, MLOps, or large-scale AI infrastructure environments.

Role: Technical Founder’s Associate / Engineering Chief of Staff

Location: Sunnyvale, CA (Mostly remote but opportunity to work F2F with CTO)

Compensation: Academic Co-op (UC Berkeley/Stanford) OR Base + Potential startup Equity

The Reality: At Juice, we are making every second count. The platform authenticates vehicles at the edge using existing site cameras. Zero new hardware, instant M2M payments. As a lean, VC-backed team of three, Juice is already processing millions of transactions globally. The CTO (ex-Google, Microsoft, 2x IoT exits) is building the deep-tech architecture connecting today's $5 Trillion mobility market to tomorrow’s $13 Trillion autonomous economy.

Because the company is scaling at an unreasonable velocity, the CTO needs a high-leverage technical force multiplier. We are not looking for a standard software engineer who wants to be spoon-fed Jira tickets. Juice is looking for an absolute powerhouse to step into the role of Technical Founder’s Associate.

In Silicon Valley, this is the engineering equivalent of a Chief of Staff. You will operate as the CTO’s technical proxy and right hand. You are a technical Swiss Army knife—you have the hardcore computer science chops to ship production code, but you also possess the systems-thinking required to map out massive enterprise integrations, read dense API documentation from legacy vendors, and ruthlessly unblock the core engineering pipeline.

If you want a traditional FAANG internship where you spend three months changing a button color, close this page. If you want a masterclass in edge computing, computer vision, and building massive technical moats from the ground up alongside a 2x-exited founder—read on.

What you will execute:

• Force-Multiply the CTO: Take high-level, ambiguous architectural directives from the CTO, break them down using strict first principles, and build the initial prototypes and integration frameworks before they hit the core engineering pipeline.
• Wrangle Legacy Infrastructure: The mobility industry runs on messy, legacy hardware APIs (parking barriers, 15-year-old EV chargers, wash systems). You will elegantly integrate bleeding-edge AI with decades-old tech infrastructure, forcing them into the 21st century.
• Technical Operations: Evaluate hardware vendors, build internal God-mode telemetry dashboards to track the latency of thousands of edge cameras, and act as the technical translator in tier-1 partnership meetings.
• Ship Real Code: Push code to active US sites processing real financial transactions. There is no massive QA team to catch mistakes. You build it, you ship it, you own it.
