Forward Deployed Engineering, Portworx

Excerpt from the original posting

Everpure (NYSE: P) has evolved from storage pioneer to data platform, closing fiscal 2026 with $3.7 billion in revenue, its first billion-dollar quarter, and accelerating growth into FY27. Our strategic agenda spans the companies defining the next era of technology - hyperscalers, AI labs, the AI hardware supply chain, data platform providers, and the broader AI ecosystem.

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 

Portworx is building a Forward Deployed Engineering team to embed directly with our most strategic customers during their highest-stakes Kubernetes storage deployments. You'll be the technical bridge between complex customer infrastructure and Portworx itself: shaping production architectures, advising through critical rollouts, and turning field experience into structured product feedback that shapes our roadmap.

This is a consultative role. The customer's teams operate their own environment; your job is to make sure the decisions they make are the right ones. That means the value you bring is judgment and depth rather than execution: knowing which architecture holds under load and failure, which assumptions in a proposed design are wrong, and what a given storage fabric, hypervisor estate, or network topology will and won't support.

Most of this work sits in the customer's own data center. Our largest and most complex deployments run on customer-owned compute, Fibre Channel and IP storage fabrics, established virtualization estates, and enterprise network designs that predate Kubernetes by a decade. You need to be genuinely conversant below the Kubernetes layer, at the server, the HBA, the switch, and the array, because that is where these deployments succeed or fail and where the customer's infrastructure leaders will test whether you're worth listening to.

This is not a support role and not a pure pre-sales role. You'll own engagements end-to-end: from solution validation before you ever get on a plane, through architecture design, production readiness, and a clean handoff. You'll leave behind documentation and decision guidance that make the next customer's journey faster.

Just as important as the technical substance: this is a relationship-building role. Day to day you'll work alongside the customer's platform and infrastructure teams, mostly their senior engineers, leads, and architects. Y…
