About Us: We’re the leading European alternative to the hyperscalers. We empower businesses of all sizes to leverage our Public Cloud, as a foundation and accelerate their cloud transformation. Join our rapidly growing team and help shape the future of European cloud computing!
The Opportunity: We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Cloud Solution Designer (also known as a Cloud Architect) to join our technical presales team. In this pivotal role, you will be the bridge between customer business needs and technical cloud solutions. You will work directly with clients to understand their requirements, design robust, scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures, and guide them through the successful adoption and implementation of our cloud platform and associated cloud services.
This is an exciting opportunity for a technical expert with a passion for solution design and direct client engagement.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
- Client Engagement & Requirements Gathering: Partner with sales and account teams to engage directly with prospective and existing clients. Conduct in-depth discovery sessions to understand their current IT landscape, business objectives, technical challenges, and non-functional requirements (e.g., performance, security, compliance, availability, cost).
- Solution Design & Architecture: Design comprehensive and optimal cloud solutions leveraging our platform and services, integrated with our European alternative to the hyperscaler. Develop architectural blueprints, design documents, and migration strategies.
- Technical Deep Dives & Proofs-of-Concept: Lead technical workshops, deliver tailored presentations, and collaborate with Sales Engineers/Implementation teams to develop and demonstrate proofs-of-concept (PoCs) or pilots that validate proposed solutions.
- Cost Optimization & TCO Analysis: Design solutions with a strong focus on cost efficiency and provide Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis for proposed architectures, ensuring long-term value for the client.
- Security & Compliance: Ensure that all designed solutions adhere to best practices for cloud security, data governance, and relevant industry compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001).
- Roadmapping & Implementation Guidance: Create clear roadmaps for cloud adoption and migration. Provide architectural guidance and support to implementation teams (internal or client-side) throughout the project lifecycle.
- Thought Leadership & Best Practices: Stay abreast of the latest cloud technologies, industry trends, and architectural patterns. Contribute to the development of best practices, reference architectures, and internal knowledge sharing.
- Presales Support: Support the sales team during the presales phase by providing technical expertise, answering RFIs/RFPs, and building technical credibility with clients.
