Requirements

  • Serve as the architectural design authority for HPE’s private and hybrid cloud offerings
  • Partner with architects for Private Cloud offerings (who remain the architecture authorities for their respective solutions)
  • Guide presales, pursuit, and delivery teams to ensure consistent, high-quality outcomes
  • Set cross-solution guardrails, curate collateral and enablement, and govern designs through stage gates

Responsibilities

  • Own the solution-level reference architecture for private/hybrid cloud, ensuring alignment to common principles and solution guardrails (security, performance, availability, cost, Day-2 ops)
  • Drive design & delivery forums to resolve cross-cutting concerns (identity, networking, observability, data protection, compliance)
  • Define design guardrails and decision records (ADR) to promote consistency and reduce technical variance
  • Establish architecture stage gates (e.g., solution & delivery reviews, POC/POV readiness, delivery transition) and review complex deals for architecture alignment, risk, feasibility, and supportability
  • Partner with presales/pursuit teams to shape solution approaches, ensuring alignment with portfolio standards and delivery constraints
  • Partner with delivery and customer success on readiness, rollout patterns, and operational guardrails; intervene as escalation architect on critical issues
  • Curate a “one-stop” portfolio kit: reference architectures, design patterns, integration guides, security/compliance blueprints, sizing/TCO considerations, runbooks, and delivery playbooks
  • Lead a documentation-as-code practice (Markdown/Sphinx/Git) for versioned, automatable, and reusable content
  • Drive field/delivery enablement (briefings, labs, hands-on guides) with regular cadence tied to roadmap drops and major releases
  • Provide structured field-to-product feedback to shape backlog and roadmap, working with Product Management and R&D
  • Propose and socialize “north-star” patterns (e.g., zero-trust baseline, day-2 upgrade strategy, infrastructure patterns) across Private Cloud offerings
  • Collaborate with Solution Architects (Private Cloud BU architects) as peers to align, integrate, and codify portfolio guardrails
  • Provide architecture guidance and stage-gate reviews to presales & pursuit teams; ensure win themes align
