JOB SUMMARY
We’re hiring a Solutions Engineer to join our Enterprise Sales organization supporting our Minnesota territory. It's no secret that behind every great sales rep is a Solutions Engineer who makes the magic happen. In this role, you’ll own the technical relationships with enterprise customers while your Client Executive counterparts manage the business side, and together, you’ll drive serious results. You’ll go deeper and wider inside existing accounts, architect solutions that solve real problems, and yes, you’ll need to get out there and help hunt down net-new logos too. You’ll help customers modernize their on-prem and hybrid environments, strengthen disaster recovery strategy, get AI-ready, and build infrastructure that’s designed for where they’re going, not just where they are today. It’s a role that blends technical depth with real business impact, where no two days look the same.

- Support protect/expand and whitespace opportunities, helping your reps grow existing accounts and land net-new logos

- Deep technical knowledge of on-prem storage technologies (block, file, SAN, NAS) and how they connect to everything around them, storage makes the whole environment come to life, and you get that
- This is a fun organization and very fun region, being a team player, believing in the art of whats possible, not getting caught up on the small things, are just as important as the technical skills, we get to show up everyday happy to work hard for those around us - and we plan to keep it that way
- Familiarity with hybrid cloud architectures, virtualization, and data protection/disaster recovery solutions
- Excellent discovery skills, you know how to ask the questions that uncover what customers actually need, not just what they say they need
- Ability to design and architect solutions for the present while planning for future growth, you’re thinking two steps ahead
- Experience working with channel partners; other companies might call this role a Sales Engineer, but here Solutions Engineers are the SMEs who own the technical win
- Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to translate technical capabilities into business outcomes
