About The Role

As a Senior Systems Engineer supporting mid‑market and commercial customers, you will play a critical role in driving revenue by owning the technical strategy and execution across multiple concurrent sales opportunities. You will partner closely with sales, channel partners, and technology alliances to understand customer business challenges, design resilient solutions, and clearly articulate differentiated technical value that drives measurable business outcomes. This role requires strong technical fundamentals, confidence engaging in public‑facing and customer‑facing presentations, and a high level of accountability for progressing deals from discovery through technical validation and close.

Successful candidates are comfortable operating in a fast‑paced sales environment, balancing depth of technical engagement with responsiveness, prioritization, and execution.

What You’Ll Do

Demonstrate and articulate the business and technical value of proposed solutions, helping customers improve operational resilience, reduce risk, optimize costs, and achieve strategic objectives. Advise customers on data security, privacy, governance, and regulatory considerations that influence enterprise data protection and IT strategies.

Educate customers on emerging technologies, including AI, machine learning, and large language models (LLMs), and demonstrate how resilient, trusted data enables successful AI and analytics initiatives. Deliver compelling presentations, product demonstrations, workshops, and technical discussions for audiences ranging from practitioners and architects to executive stakeholders. Operate with a high degree of ownership and accountability, making sound decisions independently while collaborating effectively on complex or high-impact situations.

Partner closely with sales teams, channel partners, and technology alliances to advance opportunities, generate pipeline, and ensure technical alignment throughout the customer journey.
