  • Maintain strong awareness of industry trends, emerging threats, and competitive positioning to effectively represent Veeam in enterprise discussions.
  • Partner closely with sales, product management, engineering, and ecosystem partners to influence solution architecture and product direction.

Required Qualifications

  • 5–7 years in pre-sales SE, solutions architecture, or similar technical leadership roles supporting mid-market and large enterprise customers.
  • Proven ability to lead complex technical sales cycles (discovery, solution design, POV/POC) and present to executive and technical audiences.
  • Broad technical depth in data resilience and enterprise infrastructure (virtualization, storage, OS, networking, cloud, and cybersecurity), including security, privacy, governance, and compliance considerations.
  • Foundational understanding of AI/ML/LLMs and the role trusted, resilient data plays in AI initiatives.
  • Self-motivated, adaptable technologist who thrives in fast-moving environments.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and SaaS in modern hybrid environments (e.g. VMware, Hyper-V, containers, IAM)
  • Experience with data protection/cyber resilience vendors/solutions; relevant certifications (cloud/security/architecture).
  • Familiarity with observability/monitoring and operational tooling supporting resilience and recovery.

Nice-to-Have

  • Kubernetes and cloud-native data protection/recovery.
  • SaaS application data resilience (e.g., Microsoft 365, Salesforce).
