Location: London / Hybrid
Department: Cloud Sales & Consulting
Employment: Part-time / Full-time
About the Role
Data Sole is looking for a Cloud Pre-Sales Solutions Architect to support customers in designing secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud infrastructure.
This is a technical consulting and sales role. You will work directly with prospective customers, understand their business and technical requirements, translate those requirements into an appropriate Data Sole cloud architecture, and support the sales process from initial consultation through to solution proposal.
What You’ll Do
You will:
- Conduct technical discovery and cloud consultation sessions with prospective customers.
- Assess workloads, performance requirements, availability, security, and expected growth.
- Design solutions using VM instances, virtual routers, IP addresses, networks, storage volumes, snapshots, and backups.
- Recommend load balancing, Kubernetes, and VM autoscaling where appropriate.
- Determine appropriate CPU, RAM, storage, and network requirements.
- Design high-availability and disaster-recovery approaches.
- Prepare cloud architecture recommendations and technical proposals.
- Estimate service quantities and infrastructure costs.
- Explain complex cloud concepts clearly to technical and non-technical customers.
- Work with the Data Sole sales team to convert qualified opportunities into customers.
- Hand successful projects over to the appropriate technical team for deployment and support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate has experience in cloud infrastructure, solutions architecture, technical pre-sales, IT consulting, or systems engineering.
You should have good knowledge of:
- Cloud/IaaS
- Virtual Machines
- Networking
- Virtual Routers
- IP Addressing
- Storage
- Snapshots
- Backup & Disaster Recovery
- Load Balancing
- Kubernetes
- Autoscaling
- Cloud Security
Experience with platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, OpenStack, VMware, or similar infrastructure environments is desirable.
Previous experience in B2B technology sales, pre-sales engineering, customer consulting, solution design, proposals, or technical demonstrations would be particularly valuable.
What Success Looks Like
A customer may arrive with a requirement such as:
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
"We need a highly available infrastructure for our growing e-commerce platform."
Your role is to assess that requirement and translate it into a practical Data Sole architecture—for example, determining the appropriate instances, networks, IP addresses, load balancers, storage, backups, and autoscaling configuration—then clearly explain the recommendation and support the customer through the commercial decision.
Ideal Experience
We are particularly interested in candidates with approximately 3+ years of relevant cloud, infrastructure, systems engineering, or solutions experience, although strong candidates with less experience and demonstrable technical capability are encouraged to apply.
Cloud certifications are advantageous, but practical knowledge and the ability to communicate with customers are more important.
