Senior Manager Compute Solutions Architecture

About Megaport We’re not your typical tech company – and we don’t want to be. Megaport is the global leader in Network as a Service (NaaS), and has transformed the way businesses connect to the cloud, data centers, and each other. We’re publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and partnered with the biggest names in tech like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and more. Headquartered in Brisbane with a crew of over 600 people spread across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our employees enjoy an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and (actually) fun.   Our Team Culture We’re a team of problem solvers, pixel pushers, code slingers, and cloud fanatics. Culture is more than a poster on the wall here – collaboration beats hierarchy, curiosity fuels our growth, and everyone’s voice matters. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We work across time zones to execute on our global vision, trust each other to get things done, and never compromise our values for commercial gain. Most importantly, we place our customers at the center of everything we do.   We’re committed to increasing representation in the tech industry and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Don’t meet every requirement? That’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply. Your Role You will lead Compute Solutions Architecture for Latitude: the team, the technical win rate, and the architectural standard we hold ourselves to. You will also stay personally in the deals. This is a player-coach role, and we mean it literally. You will lead a team of Solutions Architects and hire more as the business earns them — and you will still be in front of customers every week, running discovery, sizing clusters, whiteboarding, scoping proofs of concept, and closing technical objections yourself. Latitude is a small, fast business inside a public company. There is no bench to hand work to. Expect roughly half your time leading and building the function, and half carrying architecture personally on the deals that decide the quarter. Based in San Francisco, you will sit alongside our new Compute Sales Specialist and Account Manager, close to the AI-native and platform companies that are our fastest-growing customer segment — and you will lead a team that is globally distributed. The mission is bigger than the Latitude number. Megaport acquired Latitude to combine compute and connectivity into a single offer. You are the technical leader who makes that combination sellable — to Latitude's inbound and founder-led motion, to Megaport's global field Sales Pods, and through Megaport's partner channel. This role is compute-first, with network design supported in partnership with Megaport's network Solution Architects.
