CSI drivers and NAS gateways); - Support the handover to Delivery and Customer Success and stay involved in the first deployments in production; - Feed field feedback back into Product and R&D;: gaps, feature requests, roadmap priorities; - Contribute to internal knowledge: reference architectures, sizing tools, white papers and competitive battle cards. What you’ll need - 3-5 years of experience in a customer-facing technical role (Solution Architect, Sales/Pre-Sales Engineer, Professional Services or similar); - Strong knowledge of object storage and of the S3 API (buckets, IAM policies, versioning, object lock, lifecycle); - Solid understanding of distributed systems and data-protection schemes (erasure coding, replication, failure domains, durability/availability trade-offs); - Experience with Linux operating systems and with containerised workloads (Docker, Kubernetes); - Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, TLS/PKI, HTTP, APIs, load balancing, VPN); - Experience with storage hardware sizing (CPU/RAM/disk/NIC, RAID, JBOD) and with virtualisation or bare-metal environments; - Knowledge of identity and access management (local users, LDAP/AD, SAML/OIDC, 2FA); - Ability to run a customer meeting autonomously and to present technical content to both IT managers and Clevel stakeholders; - Full proficiency in Italian and English (written and spoken).
