We’re in an unbelievably exciting area of tech and are fundamentally reshaping the data storage industry. Here, you lead with innovative thinking, grow along with us, and join the smartest team in the industry.

This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

THE ROLE

As Everpure (formerly Pure Storage), we are transcending traditional storage to deliver the Enterprise Data Cloud, a unified architecture designed to fuel the most ambitious AI and HPC projects on the planet.

Based in the heart of the METCA region - a global epicenter for innovation driven by Saudi Arabia’s HUMAIN initiative and the UAE’s Stargate supercluster - this role puts you at the forefront of a $170 billion technological shift. As a Pre-Sales Systems Engineer, you won’t just be selling infrastructure; you will be architecting foundations required to turn regional sovereign AI visions into production-scale realities.

By leveraging our recent acquisition of 1touch for automated data discovery and our industry-leading performance-per-watt, you will position Everpure as the undisputed AI Data Partner of Choice. In a region where power constraints and data residency are paramount, your mission is to show METCA’s largest enterprises how to bridge the gap between fragmented silos and high-velocity AI pipelines. You will be the technical catalyst accelerating our brand, ensuring that as the Middle East leads the global AI race, they do so on a fabric of Everpure intelligence.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Strategic Advisory & Evangelism: Conduct discovery workshops to identify high-value AI use cases (Localised LLMs, Predictive Maintenance, etc.) and evangelise Everpure’s value to both "boots-on-the-ground" data scientists and C-suite decision-makers.
• Architecting the AI Factory: Collaborate with Field Architects to design end-to-end pipelines—from data ingestion and labeling via 1touch to model training and inference—optimised for FlashBlade//S and AIRI®.
• Technical Execution (PoV): Lead engineering sizing sessions and execute high-impact Proof of Value (PoV) pilots that demonstrate superior performance in distributed storage and HPC frameworks.
• ROI Modeling: Translate complex technical metrics (e.g., training time reduction, throughput-per-watt) into measurable business outcomes, such as faster time-to-market and reduced OpEx.
• Ecosystem Integration: Build and present content (webinars, deep dives) alongside alliance partners like Nvidia, cloud providers, and channel partners to cement Everpure as the AI Data Partner of Choice.

What You Bring: The Expertise

• Tenured Leadership: 10+ years of enterprise experience building and deploying AI/ML or HPC solutions, with a proven track record of meeting multi-million dollar quotas.
• Deep Technical Stack: Mastery of AI frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow), orchestration tools (Kubernetes, Slurm), and high-performance compute environments (GPU, ASIC, FPGA).
• Modern Data Fluency: Expert-level knowledge of the analytics landscape, including Spark, Snowflake, Kafka, MongoDB, and Elastic Search, and how they integrate into a virtualised or containerised data fabric.
• Communication Prowess: A "lead-from-the-front" reputation as a respected technical evangelist capable of distilling complex distributed computing concepts into actionable strategy.
• Regional Mobility: Ability to travel 50-60% across the METCA region to support high-touch customer and partner engagements.
• Educational Foundation: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, or Engineering, or equivalent deep-field experience
