Senior Technical Design Architect

The role

As a Senior Technical Design Architect, you will design and deliver customer solutions that connect Pure Storage data services to enterprise infrastructure and application environments. The role is primarily focused on storage, data migration, data protection, DR/BCP, and platform integration, while expanding into cloud-native and delivery automation capabilities

Role emphasis: the role is primarily centered on enterprise storage infrastructure and data services, while also expecting the ability and motivation to develop practical capability in cloud-native technologies and automation-led delivery. You are not expected to be a Cloud Native expert on day one; however, you should have more than a superficial understanding of the fundamentals and demonstrate the curiosity and commitment to apply and deepen this capability, including in Portworx-related project delivery
