Job Description
Solutions Architect (Systems & Storage)
At DataVizion, our Solutions Architect splits time roughly 50/50 between presales solution design and post-sales project implementation. You sit with the client, understand the business problem, architect the systems and storage solution, and then you build it. You own the outcome from whiteboard to go-live. When you tell a client something will work, you're the one who proves it.
Why DataVizion
We're a technology partner our clients trust with the infrastructure their businesses run on. That trust is earned by people who design well, build what they design, and stand behind it. You won't be a cog in a massive org chart. You'll be the technical authority on your engagements, with the autonomy that comes with it.
What Your Days Look Like
Presales (about half your time)
- Partner with our sales team on client conversations, discovery, and technical qualification
- Design systems and storage architectures that solve real business problems: compute, virtualization, storage, backup and recovery, and cloud
- Build detailed technical specifications, blueprints, and proposals clients can actually understand
- Run proof-of-concept testing and make honest recommendations, including "not yet" when that's the right answer
- Translate technical depth into plain language for non-technical decision makers
Implementation (the other half)
- Lead the hands-on deployment of the solutions you designed
- Ensure data flow and interoperability across the full IT ecosystem
- Build in security from the start: protecting data, systems, and infrastructure is part of the design, not a bolt-on
- Monitor performance post-deployment and make proactive improvements
- Keep documentation accurate so the next person (including future you) isn't guessing
What You Bring
- Proven experience as a Solutions Architect or senior engineer with a systems and storage focus (server infrastructure, virtualization, SAN/NAS storage, backup and DR)
- Proficiency in cloud technologies such as AWS and Azure
- Strong working knowledge of security, networking fundamentals, and infrastructure best practices
- The ability to juggle multiple projects at once without dropping details
- Excellent listening, negotiation, and presentation skills. You'll be in front of clients constantly, and how you communicate matters as much as what you know
Location
You must live in Nebraska or Iowa. This role involves frequent onsite travel to client sites across the region. It's a relationship business, and we show up in person.
What You’ll Get:
- Flexible work schedule
- Unlimited PTO
- Health, Vision, Dental, and Supplemental Insurance Plans
- HSA (including monthly employer contributions)
- Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
- 401k profit-sharing plan
- Employee Assistance Program Services
- Professional development opportunities
- Team celebrations
