*Note: This position requires presence in our San Francisco or San Jose office location 4 days per week; Lambda’s designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.
About this role
The Superintelligence Technical Success Engineer is part of Lambda's Superintelligence business unit, dedicated to our largest, most strategic customers operating in the most complex environments. This role owns taking signed deployment from contract to a live, fully operational production environment. The role requires strong technical acumen to validate the build against what was promised, spot gaps, and work effectively with engineering and infrastructure teams to get issues resolved and requirements clearly understood.
You'll work alongside the account team, to make sure the customer's requirements and expectations are clearly understood and addressed throughout deployment. This role calls for someone who's ready to dive in wherever the engagement needs them.
What You'll Do
Take signed deployments, from contract, to live, to working production environments, validating configuration, connectivity, storage, and compute against what was promised
Bring technical depth to validation and troubleshooting conversations — asking the right questions, spotting gaps, and working closely with engineering and infrastructure teams to drive issues to resolution
Coordinate with Infrastructure, Engineering, Product, and Data Center teams to close technical dependencies and resolve blockers
Own a current, accurate technical picture of the deployment — what's built, what's open, what's at risk
Keep stakeholders informed with clear, regular status updates: RAG status, top risks, and what's being done about them
Guide the customer through onboarding to their first successful production workload
Be the customer's go-to technical contact through deployment and early production
Feed recurring technical patterns back into reusable runbooks, checklists, or automation
Transition out once the customer is stable and self-sufficient, keeping the broader account team informed along the way
You
4+ years of hands-on technical experience with GPU/HPC infrastructure, cloud platforms, Kubernetes, or large-scale Linux systems
Comfortable being the technical voice in the room able to validate builds, spot gaps, and hold engineering teams accountable for resolving them
Strong troubleshooting instincts and a willingness to get into the weeds of networking, storage, or compute issues
Track record of coordinating across engineering and infrastructure teams to close out technical dependencies
Clear written and verbal communication for status updates and technical documentation
A bias toward diving in and taking ownership, rather than waiting for a fully defined process
Nice to Have
Exposure to large-scale GPU cluster deployments
Familiarity with project/program tracking tools and structured status reporting
Experience building runbooks or checklists that outlived the engagement they were built for
