About Armada
Armada delivers sovereign, industrial-grade AI infrastructure designed to operate where traditional cloud and centralized data center models fall short. Our platform includes Atlas as the control plane, Galleon rugged, containerized and modular edge data centers powered by the Armada Edge Platform, and Leviathan, Armada’s AI Factory, and Bridge, our GPU-as-a-Service offering. Together, these capabilities enable enterprises and governments to deploy, operate, and scale AI and other HPC workloads securely and efficiently across highly regulated and mission-critical environments.
ANZ is a core growth region for Armada, spanning large enterprises, public sector customers, and infrastructure-heavy industries. Leviathan is Armada’s purpose-built AI Factory. A high-density GPU compute platform designed for neocloud operators, sovereign AI programs, and enterprises building or expanding large-scale AI infrastructure capacity. Customers in this space require a senior technical partner who understands the economics, operations, and architecture of GPU-dense environments and can drive successful long-term outcomes at scale.
Role Overview
The Senior Customer Solutions Engineer, AI Infrastructure for ANZ is a senior technical role responsible for driving successful deployment and long-term adoption of Armada’s Leviathan AI Factory platform. This role is built for operators who understand GPU infrastructure at in depth, from physical deployment and power and cooling constraints to AI workload offtake, colocation agreements, and sovereign AI program requirements.
This role serves customers in neocloud operations, hyperscale AI infrastructure, colocation, and sovereign AI environments. Segments where GPU availability, infrastructure density, operational reliability, and commercial offtake structures are the defining decision factors. The Senior CSE owns the full technical relationship: from initial solution design and facility readiness through cluster commissioning, workload onboarding, and ongoing capacity expansion.
This role reports into the VP Global Customer Success & Delivery. Success is measured by Leviathan deployment velocity, GPU cluster utilization, capacity expansion, and the depth of technical partnership with AI infrastructure operators across ANZ.
Key Responsibilities
Leviathan AI Factory deployment and commissioning
- Lead end-to-end AI workload activation on Armada's Leviathan AI Factory platform, driving GPU cluster onboarding, workload configuration, and production readiness from initial capacity commitment through sustained offtake utilization
