Project Duration  

6-month engagement with the possibility of extension

What You’ll Do  

• Lead structured technical discovery with the hardware and platform engineering teams to establish the API surface, platform readiness, and target workload definitions
• Author the Architecture Decision Record (ADR) documenting the integration approach, technology choices, and key design decisions
• Define the requirements baseline, functional and non-functional, and produce the risk register
• Negotiate and agree the revised Statement of Work for Phases 1 and 2 with the client
• Establish the reference workload definition and benchmark criteria to be used through the POC
• Maintain technical governance and architectural coherence across the integration build
• Direct the engineering team on component delivery: workload adapter, hardware dispatch client, telemetry bridge, and any required platform-side changes
• Manage the client relationship on a day-to-day basis: progress reporting, risk escalation, and gate reviews
• Review and sign off integration components before gate conditions are assessed
• Lead knowledge transfer and runbook acceptance sessions with client engineering teams
• Support the customer Proof of Value demonstration in an advisory capacity

What You Bring 

• Demonstrable background in cloud platform architecture, distributed systems, and API design — REST and gRPC in particular
• Experience integrating third-party hardware or specialised compute into cloud scheduling and resource management layers
• Familiarity with workload orchestration: Kubernetes, custom schedulers, resource plugins, or equivalent
• Working knowledge of observability tooling: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, or comparable stacks
• Comfort operating across the full stack, from infrastructure (IaC, networking, cloud providers) to API and platform layers
• SRE background or equivalent: SLO definition, telemetry design, incident response, and operational documentation
• Ability to design for observability and failure modes from the outset, not as a post-build afterthought
• Experience producing runbooks and operational documentation for technical handover
• Proven ability to lead client-facing technical engagements, managing expectations, communicating risk, and maintaining trust in ambiguous early-stage programmes
• Comfortable working with non-traditional technical counterparts, such as hardware scientists who may not be experienced platform API producers
• Skilled at structured requirements elicitation under significant uncertainty — able to extract requirements through interviews, prototypes, and reference examples rather than documentation
• Experience producing Architecture Decision Records, revised SOW documents, and risk registers as formal engagement outputs
• Experience operating as a senior contractor or fractional leader, comfortable with part-time engagement structures and accountability for commercial gate conditions without full-time oversight
• Able to take ownership of engagement quality and client confidence independently

Nice to Have

• Prior exposure to custom silicon, FPGA integration, or specialised AI accelerator hardware
• Experience in sovereign cloud, data sovereignty, or regulated compute environments
• Familiarity with AI/ML workload types: inference serving, training pipelines, batch processing
• Experience with M2M identity, workload authentication, and platform governance patterns
• Background in early-stage or venture-backed technology companies where engineering rigour and commercial pragmatism must coexist
