• Troubleshoot complex storage, backup, recovery, performance, and connectivity issues.
• Work closely with VLCM Account Managers, Solution Architects, and other engineering resources during the pre‑sales process, including solution design and technical validation.
• Develop scopes of work and assist with estimating the engineering effort required for customer projects.
• Provide technical demonstrations, presentations, and proof‑of‑concept support when needed.
• Follow vendor and industry best practices for data protection, resiliency, security, and infrastructure design.
• Maintain strong technical knowledge of Ever Pure and Cohesity solutions and stay current on new products, features, best practices, and certifications.
• Develop knowledge and expertise across additional storage and data protection technologies supported by VLCM.
• Document customer environments, configurations, project work, and recommended solutions.
• Serve as a trusted technical resource for customers and take ownership of technical issues through resolution.
• Collaborate with other VLCM engineers across data center, virtualization, networking, cybersecurity, and cloud technologies.

• Strong hands‑on experience with enterprise storage and/or data protection technologies.
• Experience with Ever Pure storage solutions is strongly preferred.
