Job FieldConsultancy , ICT / Computer

The Junior Presales Consultant supports enterprise sales engagements by designing robust, future-ready infrastructure solutions that integrate on-premise virtualization, container platforms, and hyperscaler cloud environments. The role works closely with sales teams, engineering teams, and technology vendors to translate complex enterprise requirements into clear technical architectures, competitive commercial proposals, and winning tender responses.

The consultant will contribute to solution design for enterprise data platforms, hybrid cloud infrastructure, container orchestration environments, and modern AI-ready data stacks, ensuring performance, security, scalability, and cost efficiency.

Responsibilities.

Hybrid Infrastructure Architecture

Design end-to-end hybrid solutions combining on-premise virtualization environments such as VMware and KVM with hyperscaler landing zones across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.

Support the development of scalable infrastructure architectures that enable enterprises to operate seamlessly across private and public cloud environments.

Develop technical solution documentation explaining architecture decisions, scalability models, and deployment approaches.

Modern Data Infrastructure Design

Architect infrastructure platforms optimized for enterprise database workloads, including Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.

Support the design and sizing of infrastructure required for emerging data platforms such as Vector Databases used in AI and machine learning workloads.

Ensure storage performance, compute sizing, and network architecture align with high-throughput data processing requirements.

Container Platform Engineering

Support the design of enterprise container platforms built on Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift.

Design cluster architecture including storage orchestration through CSI (Container Storage Interface) and namespace-based multi-tenant environments.

Work with engineering teams to ensure container platforms integrate securely with enterprise storage, networking, and security frameworks.

Commercial Presales Engineering

Develop detailed Bills of Materials (BOMs) that accurately reflect the infrastructure required for proposed solutions.

Prepare pricing spreadsheets and cost models that support competitive yet profitable proposals.

Collaborate with procurement and vendor partners to obtain pricing, technical validation, and configuration recommendations.

Tender & Proposal Development

Support the preparation of RFP and tender responses by developing technical architecture narratives, diagrams, and infrastructure specifications.

Create professional architecture diagrams that clearly communicate complex migration, modernization, or hybrid cloud strategies.

Ensure proposals align with both client requirements and vendor best practices.

Vendor & Strategic Partner Engagement

Work closely with technology partners including infrastructure vendors, storage providers, and cloud platforms.

Leverage vendor relationships to obtain technical guidance, architecture validation, and preferred pricing structures.

Maintain awareness of emerging technologies across cloud, data platforms, virtualization, and container ecosystems.

Required Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

1–4 years of experience in presales engineering, infrastructure architecture, systems engineering, or enterprise IT solution design.

Exposure to enterprise infrastructure environments, including virtualization, storage platforms, or cloud environments.
