What You’ll Bring • 3+ years of experience in a Solutions Architect, Implementation Consultant, or similar hands-on technical delivery role. • Strong working knowledge of data protection, backup and recovery, and disaster recovery concepts and technologies. • Experience designing and implementing solutions across virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V), cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), and enterprise storage. • Demonstrated ability to translate customer requirements into detailed technical designs and execute those designs in production environments. • Strong troubleshooting ski
