  • Own the technical side of Lambda’s sales process.
    • Partner with Lambda account managers to provide an excellent customer experience throughout the sales process.
    • Work with deep learning engineers and IT professionals from our customer’s internal teams to identify the challenges and bottlenecks they hope to overcome.
    • Design compute solutions that meet the customer’s needs by applying your technical skills, seeking customer feedback, and iterating as needed.
    • Document your designs in various formats including white-papers, wire diagrams, BoMs, and rack elevations.
  • Develop and maintain expertise in compute for deep learning.
    • Build structured and purposeful learning into your work routine.
