Presales System Engineer, Territory - PACA (Remote: Marseille or Aix-based)

THE ROLE

Everpure, Inc. (formerly Pure Storage) is adding a Systems (Presales) Engineer to our Commercial district in France, covering the PACA region from Marseille or Aix-en-Provence.

This is a field presales role for someone with 5+ years of hands-on SE experience who enjoys owning a territory. You will partner with several Account Executives across a mixed portfolio: large regional accounts where you drive the technical agenda, public-sector organizations in health, social services and heavy industry, and a long tail of mid-sized companies where speed and pragmatism win.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the technical relationship across your territory: discovery, architecture, demos, proofs of concept and technical closure, on Everpure's Enterprise Data Cloud platform.
• Take the initiative in large accounts: build activity, find new use cases, and create opportunities rather than wait for them.
• Sell outcomes, not boxes: position services and consumption models (Evergreen//One, storage-as-a-service) credibly with IT and finance stakeholders.
• Work day to day with your Account Executives and with channel partners in the region.
• Own technical responses to RFPs and RFIs.
• Contribute to a national SE team that shares knowledge and wins across districts.

WHAT YOU BRING – REQUIRED

• 5+ years in a field presales / Systems Engineer / Solutions Engineer role, ideally with a territory or multi-account scope.
• Solid general infrastructure culture: compute, virtualisation, networking, data protection, and how they fit together in real customer environments.
• Experience selling services, subscription or consumption models: you can explain the commercial side as well as the technical one.
• A senior, autonomous way of working: you take initiative, drive activity in large accounts, and manage your own agenda.
• Curiosity: you learn new technology quickly and like finding new use cases for it.
• Based in or near Marseille / Aix-en-Provence, with a driving licence.
• Fluent French and professional English.

NICE TO HAVE

• Enterprise storage experience (SAN, NAS, object, data protection). Valuable, not required: a dedicated onboarding quarter covers it.
• Background at an infrastructure, data-protection or open-source vendor, or at a services company.
• Existing relationships with IT teams in the PACA region.

LOCATION & TRAVEL

• Home-based in the Marseille / Aix-en-Provence area.
• Expect to be with customers around half your time or more. Travel is regional, so you are home in the evening, with occasional trips to Paris for team meetings.
