Partner with account teams to qualify deals and shape technical strategies for clinical, research, and regulated workloads including medical imaging, genomics, drug discovery, and clinical trial data
Design architectures that meet the realities of regulated environments: data sovereignty, audit trails, DR, HA, and secure multi-site collaboration
Build credibility with healthcare IT, research informatics teams, compliance officers, and clinical application owners
Build and maintain the healthcare technical toolkit: reference architectures, compliance briefs, solution documentation, and competitive positioning
Qualifications:
8+ years in a customer-facing technical role (Systems Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Healthcare Solutions Engineer) at a software, storage, or tech company, including 4+ years focused on healthcare, life sciences, or pharma
Strong grounding in unstructured data storage for regulated environments: imaging performance, lifecycle management, secure access, and archival, including NFS, SMB, and object
Working knowledge of healthcare data workflows: medical imaging (DICOM, PACS, VNA), EMR, genomics and bioinformatics pipelines, clinical research data, or pharma manufacturing - as well as HIPAA, HITECH, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, and data retention requirements
Track record leading complex pre-sales engagements end to end in regulated environments
Comfort engaging clinical, research, IT, compliance, and executive audiences in the same room
Candidates with the following additional experience will be highly regarded:
Experience with HL7, FHIR, medical imaging informatics, genomics file formats (FASTQ, BAM, VCF), or research data management platforms
Background supporting health systems, IDNs, pharma R&D, biotech research, or CROs
Familiarity with cloud and hybrid architectures for regulated data, and AI/ML in medical imaging or drug discovery
Working knowledge of CTMS, EDC, LIMS, or drug discovery computational platforms
