Responsibilities

Help drive the adoption of Cisco's data center, cloud, and AI-ready infrastructure solutions.
Partner with customers to understand their modernization goals.
Support the design of tailored platform architectures.
Demonstrate how Cisco's compute, networking, and cloud-native technologies accelerate business.
Build awareness, foster education, and drive energy for platform modernization, cloud-native infrastructure, and AI-ready data centers with internal teams, partners, and customers.
Act as the link between technical teams, account teams, and partners/customers.
Showcase infrastructure solutions and articulate their value.
Contribute to architectural discussions.
Play a key role in the design and promotion of modernization solutions.
Solve customer challenges.

Requirements

3+ years of technical presales, solutions engineering, or relevant hands-on infrastructure experience across compute, storage, and data center networking.
Hands-on experience with virtualization and platform modernization (e.g., VMware/VCF, RedHat OpenShift, Nutanix, KVM, hypervisor migration strategies).
Familiarity with enterprise storage concepts and platforms (e.g., NVMe, NFS, object storage; NetApp, Everpure, or comparable).
Solid understanding of data center networking fundamentals (L2/L3, VXLAN/EVPN, fabric design) and how compute, storage, and network integrate.
Foundational understanding of Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure — core concepts, deployment models, and how containerized workloads are managed.
Proficiency with infrastructure automation and scripting (e.g., Python, Ansible, Terraform) and version control (Git/GitHub).
Excellent presentation skills with the ability to deliver engaging workshops to both technical and non-technical audiences on infrastructure and modernization topics.
Experience with the Cisco data center portfolio (UCS, Nexus/ACI, Intersight, HyperFabric) or comparable competitive platforms.
Exposure to cloud-native networking and eBPF technologies (e.g., Cilium/Isovalent), GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Flux), Helm, and service mesh.
Familiarity with AI-ready infrastructure: GPU compute, high-performance fabrics (RoCE/InfiniBand), AI/ML reference architectures (e.g., Cisco + NVIDIA), and storage for AI workloads.
Familiarity with data center observability and monitoring tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ThousandEyes, Splunk).
Understanding of infrastructure security and zero-trust principles in data center / cloud-native environments (segmentation, workload identity, policy enforcement).
