  • Conduct hardware/infrastructure sizing and architectural planning for proposed solutions
  • Build and maintain strategic technical partnerships with vendors, CSPs, and channel partners
  • Support contract negotiations with technical guidance and feasibility input
  • Mentor junior team members and help standardize presales processes and documentation
  • Stay current on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) and industry-relevant technologies

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
  • 5+ years of experience in presales, solutions architecture, or technical sales engineering

  • Proven experience responding to RFPs/RFQs and building technical proposals
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for business stakeholders
