Remote, Oregon, United States LightEdge Solutions Full time

As a trusted voice of technical expertise in our core product fields of Public Cloud, Private Cloud, Power Systems, Server, Network, Security, and Automation, the LightEdge Solution Architect Team guides our clients and our organization toward excellent technology and business outcomes. LightEdge is looking to augment this team with two additional people to help grow LightEdge in 2024 and beyond.

The Solution Architects work with our Account Executives to build relationship and cultivate opportunity within new prospects as well as existing clients. The Solution Architect helps identify business concerns and technology challenges, as well as uncovering areas for optimization and improvement that the client may be unaware of. This requires not only a deep technical knowledge of LightEdge solutions, but a broad knowledge that spans the five key domains of the LightEdge service offerings, as well as the practical knowledge that comes from a career of "doing."

SAs also love learning, teaching and sharing knowledge. They pay attention to the industry and what is going on, and are always looking to add to their knowledge through training. They conduct trainings and give talks for the organization as a whole, as well as ensuring they are constantly building each other up. They also produce training and demo material for clients, including written as well as video. SAs are OK with being wrong or saying "I don't know, but I'll find out," because that's an opportunity to learn something new. They correct and are corrected with professionalism and kindness.

SAs are also proud product evangelists. We believe in the company and the products we sell, and work with marketing to produce marketing collateral (such as product guides and white papers) and participate in events (such as webinars and marketing videos.) They also work with our product team to ensure that the voice of the client is heard in the product process, sharing feedback around ways to improve or augment existing products, or insight as to what products we should be on the roadmap.

We are not looking for the "perfect" candidate that brings strength in all five areas, but for candidates to the team that strengthen the team as a whole by bringing unique perspectives and strengthen specific areas. We presently are seeking a candidates with this expertise:

- Public Cloud to bring experience working with hyperscale platforms such as AWS or Azure. Preferred canadiate should have a minimum of Solutions Architect – Professional Level on AWS and/or Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification. Knowledge of the AWS Migration Acceleration Program and/or Azure Migration Program would be advantegous. A strong background in evaluating customer environments, using the AWS and Azure calculators, and estimating and pricing customer configurations. Additional experience with Google Cloud, Alibaba, or Oracle Cloud would be helpful with many of the public cloud customers that we work with.
