If you enjoy working directly with customers, shaping complex architectures, and partnering with Sales, Product, and Engineering to deliver outcomes that actually matter, you’ll fit right in.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the design of multi-service infrastructure and cloud solutions for mid-market and enterprise customers.
  • Partner with Account Executives throughout the pre-sales cycle to align technical value with business needs.
  • Run customer discovery sessions, present architectures, and guide technical validation efforts.
  • Collaborate with internal delivery and product teams to ensure solutions are feasible, supportable, and aligned with roadmap direction.
  • Develop clear documentation, diagrams, and reusable reference materials.
  • Mentor teammates and help raise the bar on architectural quality and communication.

Education and Experience:

  • 5+ years in solutions engineering or architecture, preferably in infrastructure or cloud environments.
  • Technical proficiency in areas like IBM Power Systems (Power VM)VMware virtualization, or major cloud ecosystems such as AWS or Azure.
  • Familiarity with enterprise technologies including storage platforms, networking architectures, hybrid cloud environments, and security frameworks.
  • Bonus points for experience with Dell/EMC, Fortinet, Pure, backup/recovery platforms, or managed hosting environments.
  • Experience supporting sales cycles and engaging directly with customer stakeholders.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to simplify complex technical concepts for mixed audiences.
  • Curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to stay ahead of emerging technologies instead of reacting after the fact.
  • Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for visa sponsorship now or in the future.
