• Strong hands-on experience with VCF, NSX, vSAN, VCF Automation and Operations, VKS, and general Kubernetes.
• Experience with AI is a huge bonus, and will be a key differentiator in your success in this role.
• A deep understanding of cloud-native applications, containerization, and microservices architecture.
• The ability to design and implement complex solutions that meet customer needs, and to communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A track record of driving revenue growth through technical sales and solution architecture.

The Work:

As a Solution Architect, you will:

• Interact with the broader VCF Division and BSG sales team to provide feedback on the receptiveness of our offerings.
• Track and report progress of individual workstreams associated with our incubation framework.
• Become the initial field facing SME on new offerings and work with the BSG sales team and Advanced Services Business Development Managers on initial sales campaigns.
• Train a smaller group of Sales SMEs to gain capacity and work with our Training Department to build Learning Journeys.
• Develop acceleration plans that may include a larger eco-system of 'routes to market', such as Partners, Resellers, and Systems Integrators.
• Conduct product specific demos, workshops and Proof of Concepts with customers.
• Attend weekly Forecast calls and provide updates on Pipeline creation, deal closures, etc.
• Collaborate with peer Solution Architects to help design and maintain real-world and cutting edge infrastructure to help support the team's learning, validation and workshop activities.
