  • Build strong relationships with technology vendors and identify solution opportunities

Why This Role Stands Out
High-impact position: Your designs directly influence customer success and project outcomes
Technical depth: Work with enterprise-grade infrastructure, storage and data protection solutions

Continuous learning: Strong focus on certifications, recertification and professional development
 
Your Career Path
This role is suited to a Solutions Architect who wants ownership, visibility and influence across complex customer environments. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping solutions from concept to delivery, while continuing to grow your technical depth and customer-facing expertise.
 
If you’re passionate about infrastructure design, enjoy working with customers, and want to be part of a respected and forward-thinking technology environment — we’d love to hear from you.
