Senior Solutions Architect, Healthcare and Life Sciences

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Solutions Architect to join our team, focused on redefining the biopharma industry through AI-powered drug discovery. As a trusted technical advisor, you will collaborate with leading pharmaceutical companies, biotechs, and research organizations across North America to accelerate breakthroughs in healthcare using NVIDIA’s computing platform. Our solutions architects are elite developers and scientists who thrive in a fast-paced environment, applying deep learning, machine learning, and high-performance computing to solve complex scientific challenges. You will play a pivotal role in driving innovation by building proof-of-concept demonstrations, scaling AI deployments, and fostering relationships with key customers. This position offers the opportunity to work on groundbreaking projects that are revolutionizing how drugs are discovered and developed. If you are passionate about AI and computational science and have a background in life sciences or related fields, we invite you to help shape the future of healthcare with NVIDIA.  

What you will be doing: 

• You will partner with our business / account team working with customers to develop a keen understanding of their goals, strategies, and technical needs as well as help to define and deliver high-value solutions meeting these needs. 

• Staying up on the state of the art in the production Deep Learning and Machine Learning Ecosystem. You'll be called on to help architect and scale high-performance, distributed, AI deployments that are built on the latest NVIDIA GPU supercomputers. 

• Document what you know and teach others. This can vary from building targeted training for partners and other Solutions Architects, to writing whitepapers, blogs, and wiki articles, to simply working through hard problems with a customer on a whiteboard. 

• Be an industry leader with vision on integrating NVIDIA technology into AI and HPC architectures for advanced applications, such as medical imaging or drug discovery. 

• Strategically partner with lighthouse customers and industry-specific solution partners targeting our computing platform.

• MS or PhD in Computational Biology, Computational Chemistry, Computational Physics, Chemical Engineering, Biophysics, or Computer Science with strong applied experience in these domains (or equivalent experience).

• 5+ years of work-related experience in software development of deep learning methods for scientific applications. 

• 3+ years of work-related experience with Deep Learning software architecture and frameworks and application to scientific questions. 

• Full-stack scientific computing experience including software development in scientific programming languages, such as Python, C/C++, and/or CUDA. 

• Proficient in the Linux/GNU toolchain and operating as a user in HPC cluster environments. 

• Background in molecular modeling and life sciences. 

• Excellent communication skills particularly in the presentation of highly technical material. Must enjoy interacting with forward-thinking people, life-long learning, and staying at the forefront of the domain.

Ways to stand out from the crowd: 

• Demonstrated work in Deep-learning-at-scale, cheminformatics, bioinformatics, drug discovery. Experience with molecular dynamics, docking, electronic structure methods, or major projects related to drug discovery are a plus 

• Experience in the pharmaceutical industry or with customers/partners in the pharmaceutical domain. 

• Cloud platform expertise on AWS, Azure and/or GCP. 

• Significant deep learning experience with healthcare data. 

• Published record of thought leadership in a technical area or industry segment. 

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
