What You'll Do: Our Solutions Architecture team at Weights & Biases is a unique hybrid organization, combining the deep technical skills of Site Reliability Engineering with the consultative expertise of Solutions Architecture. We focus on ensuring customers can successfully deploy and operate W&B across cloud and on-prem environments while delivering a best-in-class experience that accelerates ML adoption at scale. The team is the last technical mile between a signed contract and a customer training models in production — and increasingly, the team that decides how fast that happens. About the Role: As Director, Solutions Architecture, you'll own the function across [REGION] — the team, the operating model, and the outcomes. You'll lead managers and senior individual contributors responsible for how W&B is deployed and operated in our largest and most complex accounts, across AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-prem and air-gapped environments. Your central problem is leverage: how technical delivery scales without headcount scaling linearly with revenue, through coverage design, automation, reference architectures, partner enablement, and the management layer you build beneath you. You'll be a peer to Sales, Field Engineering, Support, and Product leadership — accountable alongside them for adoption, retention, and expansion in region — and you'll carry the clearest signal we have on customer reality into roadmap and platform investment. Externally, you'll serve as executive technical sponsor for strategic accounts and the face of W&B engineering credibility in [REGION]. • Own Solutions Architecture across [REGION]: strategy, operating model, headcount plan, capacity forecasting, and leveling • Build and develop the management layer — hire and coach managers and team leads rather than remaining the single escalation point • Define how deployments scale: reference architectures, automation and IaC standards, deployment SLAs, and quality bars across sub-regions • Operate as a senior cross-functional partner to Sales, Field Engineering, Support, and Product leadership, jointly accountable for regional adoption, retention, and expansion • Stand up leverage programs that reduce direct delivery load — customer and partner enablement, certification, self-service tooling, and documentation • Serve as executive technical sponsor for strategic accounts, including escalation ownership at the CTO and VP Engineering level • Translate aggregated field evidence into prioritized roadmap and platform investment recommendations with Product and Engineering leadership • Own the regional forecast for technical delivery capacity, including partner-led and services-led models where they apply Who You Are: • 5+ years leading a customer-facing technical organization, including 2+ years managing managers or team leads • 12+ years total experience with a hands-on infrastructure, platform, SRE, or solutions engineering foundation • Demonstrated track record scaling a post-sales or field technical function through a step change in revenue, customer count, or geography — with the coverage, escalation, and SLA model to show for it • Technical depth sufficient to lead an architecture review: Kubernetes, Helm, containerization, networking, storage, and cloud-managed services • Production experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform, and with IaC standards adopted across a team • Proficiency across multiple cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) plus on-prem or self-managed deployment experience • Strong Linux/Unix command line experience • Familiarity with ML workflows, MLOps tooling, and how ML platforms are operated in production • Demonstrated experience owning a headcount plan and capacity model, including build-versus-partner delivery decisions • Demonstrated experience influencing product roadmap with structured, evidenced field input • Experience operating a distributed team across multiple countries and time zones Preferred: • Deep proficiency in Kubernetes design patterns, including Operators and CRDs • Experience building enablement, certification, or partner-delivery programs that measurably reduced direct delivery load • Regulated, sovereign, or air-gapped deployment experience (government, financial services, healthcare, defense) • Experience with GPU infrastructure, large-scale distributed training, and MLOps platform operations • Experience in a developer-tools or infrastructure company selling to engineering and ML platform teams • SaaS, web service, or distributed systems operations experience at scale Wondering if you're a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we've found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we'd love to talk. • You love diving into infrastructure problems and solving them systematically — and you build the teams and systems that keep them solved • You're curious about how to scale complex ML systems in production environments • You're an expert in building and running containerized, distributed systems • You think about leverage first: what automation, documentation, or hire makes the next hundred deployments easier • You are comfortable being the technical voice in the room with a customer executive team, and the one who tells Product
