Why World Wide Technology?

Founded in 1990, WWT is a global technology solutions provider leading the AI and Digital Revolution. We combine the power of strategy, execution, and partnership to accelerate digital transformational outcomes for organizations around the globe. Through our Advanced Technology Center — a collaborative ecosystem of the world's most advanced hardware and software solutions — WWT helps clients conceptualize, test, and validate innovative technology solutions, then deploys them at scale through our global warehousing, distribution, and integration capabilities.

With over 12,000 employees across WWT and Softchoice and more than 60 locations worldwide, our culture — built on core values and established leadership philosophies — has been recognized 14 years in a row by Fortune and Great Place to Work® for its unique blend of determination, innovation, and inclusivity.

Why This Role?

WWT's most successful architects do not just design infrastructure. They connect technical depth to business outcomes, earn the trust of executive stakeholders, and translate what is possible into what is valuable. This role is built for someone who thinks in business models as fluently as they think in reference architectures.

This is a senior thought leadership position for an architect who has earned credibility across both the technology domain and the boardroom. You will shape WWT's AI Factory strategy across Asia Pacific, guide customers through their most complex AI adoption challenges, and build the intellectual foundation that makes WWT's HPA Practice irreplaceable. WWT's Asia Pacific business is scaling rapidly, and this role sits at the center of that growth. You will own HPA and AI Factory strategy for a diverse, high-growth region spanning some of the world's most sophisticated enterprise and hyperscaler markets. Singapore is WWT's APAC hub — your base of operations and a launchpad for engagements across Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, and South Asia. The role is designed as a natural pathway to the Principal Architect title — the expectation is that you will generate IP, influence industry direction, and grow the architects around you.

What You Will Do

Thought Leadership & Business Architecture

• Serve as a senior subject matter authority for AI Factory design, accelerated infrastructure, and workload-optimized architecture across WWT's Enterprise, GSP, Public Sector — Asia Pacific customer base.
• Translate deep technical architecture into AI business outcomes — connecting infrastructure decisions to financial impact, competitive advantage, risk posture, and operational resilience.
• Develop original intellectual property: reference architectures, point-of-view papers, design frameworks, and advisory content that differentiates WWT's AI Practice in the market.
• Engage executive and C-suite stakeholders as a trusted advisor, helping organizations understand how AI Factory investment maps to business model transformation.
• Assist in developing new ways of working leveraging Generative AI and modern Agentic frameworks to advance the GS&A team's speed and efficiency.

AI Factory Architecture & Design

• Architect end-to-end AI Factory environments — spanning GPU compute, high-performance networking, intelligent storage, and workload management — from model training to inference at scale.
• Lead HLD, BOM, and LLD for complex AI infrastructure engagements incorporating the full NVIDIA ecosystem:
• • DGX Hopper, Blackwell, HGX, MGX, OVX, L40S, RTX Pro 6000
  • NVIDIA NVAIE, Mission Control, NIM, Dynamo, Run:ai, Blueprints, and NCP reference architectures
• Design vendor-neutral AI Factory solutions across NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel accelerated platforms, aligned to customer workload economics.
• Assist in the design of high-performance network fabrics — InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet — and develop architectures spanning bare-metal, containerized, and virtualized environments across the full AI compute stack.

AI Workload Management, MLOps & Security

• Architect and advise on AI workload orchestration including NVIDIA BCM, Run:ai, Slurm, and emerging platforms such as Armada, Apolo, Rafay, and ClearML.
• Guide customers on MLOps strategy — from data pipeline design through model training, validation, deployment, and lifecycle management — ensuring infrastructure decisions support the data science teams that consume them.
• Size and design compute environments based on model type, parameter count, precision requirements, and inference SLA targets, translating data science requirements into infrastructure specifications.
• Lead security-first architecture engagements — designing AI Factories with zero-trust frameworks, model access controls, data provenance, and supply chain integrity for regulated industries and federal customers.
• Advise on securing multi-tenant GPU clusters, protecting training data and model weights, and establishing observability and audit trails for AI-driven business processes.

Field, Partner & Ecosystem Enablement

• Partner with regional field architects, sales, and professional services to translate HPA and AI Factory capabilities into customer-ready solutions, workshops, and advisory offerings.
• Develop and deliver technical enablement content — briefings, training, roadshows, and hands-on ATC labs — that builds the field organization's ability to position and sell AI Factory solutions.
• Cultivate executive-level relationships with WWT's most strategic HPA partners — NVIDIA, AMD, Cisco, HPE, Dell, and others — ensuring early access to roadmaps, engineering resources, and co-sell opportunities.
• Drive partner product announcement strategies and roadmap communication that keeps WWT's field teams and customers ahead of the technology curve.
• Achieve and maintain OEM certifications across the HPA ecosystem, ensuring WWT retains elite partner status and early roadmap engagement.
• Navigate the unique dynamics of the APAC market — from hyperscaler-driven demand in Singapore and Japan to sovereign AI infrastructure initiatives across Southeast Asia — translating WWT's global HPA capabilities into region-specific solutions and go-to-market strategies.

Experience & Expertise

Technical Skills & Background

• 10 or more years of progressive experience in solutions architecture, technology advisory, or technical leadership, with a track record of designing and delivering complex, high-stakes infrastructure solutions.
• Hands-on fluency with the NVIDIA accelerated computing ecosystem: GPU platform selection and sizing, NVAIE licensing, Mission Control, NIM microservices, Dynamo inference, Run:ai workload management, and NCP reference architectures.
• Working expertise with AMD Instinct platforms and the ability to provide vendor-objective workload economics analysis; deep understanding of AI Factory design patterns including InfiniBand/RoCE networking, parallel file systems, NVMe-oF storage, and GPU-dense power and cooling.
• Ability to architect across the full stack: Linux OS, Red Hat OpenShift AI, Kubernetes-native environments, and AI workload management/MLOps tooling across on-premises and hybrid environments.
• Working knowledge of data center networking, security fabric, and high-speed interconnect design.

Business Acumen, Communication & Leadership

• Demonstrated ability to connect technology architecture to business outcomes — quantifying value, communicating risk, and influencing investment decisions at the executive level.
• Experience engaging C-suite stakeholders with the discipline to speak to both the technical and financial dimensions of major infrastructure investments.
• Track record of driving business development through technical credibility — generating pipeline, advancing strategic accounts, and differentiating WWT in competitive situations.
