Aided by an extensive ecosystem of partners, Cohesity makes it easy to secure, protect, manage, and get value from data — across the data center, edge, and cloud. Cohesity helps organizations defend against cybersecurity threats with comprehensive data security and management capabilities, including immutable backup snapshots, AI-based threat detection, monitoring for malicious behavior, and rapid recovery at scale.
We’ve been named a Leader by multiple analyst firms and have been globally recognized for Innovation, Product Strength, and Simplicity in Design.
Join us on our mission to shape the future of our industry.

Cohesity’s Professional Services team is looking for a hands-on architect who can design, document, and validate end-to-end deployment architectures that customers, partners, and internal teams can consistently implement. This role blends deep system design, customer engagement, field validation, and enablement. You will create scalable blueprints, improve deployment practices, and serve as the technical authority across architecture, integration, and system design.

HOW YOU’LL SPEND YOUR TIME HERE:

Customer Engagement & Collaboration

  • Deliver architecture and professional services to customers.

  • Build strategic relationships with key customers and Cohesity teams.

  • Partner with Product Solutions, engineering, SEs, tech marketing, and support to align product capabilities with customer requirements and ensure smooth knowledge transfer.

  • Engage directly with customers to understand their organizational needs and map Cohesity’s solutions to their objectives.

Architecture & Delivery

  • Design and validate deployment architectures, including sizing, performance, integrations, and migrations.

  • Develop reusable blueprints, runbooks, best practices, and templates.

  • Support deployment execution and ensure design fidelity across delivery teams and partners.

  • Conduct field validation and beta testing of new procedures.

Practice Development & Enablement

  • Convert deployment designs into training content and deliver hands-on training to customers, partners, and internal teams.

  • Create high-quality documentation and knowledge base articles.

  • Continuously refine deliverables as new products and features are released.

Process & Alignment

  • Maintain JIRA user stories to ensure alignment across product, engineering, and delivery teams.

System Design & Architecture

  • Deep System Design: Build end-to-end architectures across services, applications, data stores, and integrations, producing implementation-ready diagrams and sequence flows.

  • Design Principles: Apply scalability, separation of concerns, loose coupling, and resilience to create modular and evolvable systems.

  • API & Integration Architecture: Design REST APIs, JSON schemas, and integration patterns (sync/async, event-driven, retries).

  • AuthN/AuthZ: Implement OAuth/JWT, RBAC, scopes, token flows, and secure identity boundaries.

  • Data Architecture: Design efficient SQL schemas and queries; understand NoSQL modeling and storage decisions.

  • Independent Technical Execution: Research new technologies independently, make clear trade-off decisions, and defend architectural choices.

  • Security Architecture: Apply security-by-design principles including access control, auditability, and data protection.

WE'D LOVE TO TALK TO YOU IF YOU HAVE MANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in CS/Engineering or equivalent experience.

  • 10+ years of professional IT experience.

  • Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support decision making.

  • Hands-on experience with:

    • Virtualization (VMware, Hyper‑V, Citrix)

    • Linux/Unix

    • Oracle and SQL

    • Storage platforms (Isilon, NetApp, Pure)

    • Data protection, disaster recovery, data management

    • Public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)

  • Proficiency in Python, Ansible, ServiceNow, and architecture tools such as Visio.

  • Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills; strong ability to teach and enable others.

  • Strong organization, project management, and deadline-driven execution.

  • Ability to leverage AI tools to streamline workflows and support decision making.
