For over 25 years, more than 100,000 organizations and a vast partner ecosystem have relied on Commvault to reduce risks, improve governance, and do more with data. The Senior Solutions Architect - Databases and Cyber Resilience serves as an overlay specialist for complex customer engagements involving on-premises, cloud-hosted, and cloud-native database protection across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as traditional databases such as MSSQL and Oracle. This role combines trusted-advisor customer engagement, solution architecture, technical validation, and cross-functional influence to help customers design resilient database protection and recovery strategies that preserve business continuity after outages, human error, or cyber incidents. The ideal candidate brings 5-7 years of relevant experience guiding customers, partners, sales teams, and internal product or engineering stakeholders on modern database protection patterns, recovery design, cyber resilience controls, and testable recovery outcomes for production-scale environments. Success in this role requires both broad platform fluency and a deep understanding of how backup, recovery, security, observability, and architecture decisions interact in database environments. What you'll do... Advise customers, partners, and field teams on resilient architectures for databases, including services commonly used across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI, such as Amazon RDS and Aurora, Azure SQL Database and Cosmos DB, Google Cloud SQL and BigQuery, and Cloud Spanner. Translate business continuity, recovery time, and recovery point requirements into practical protection architectures, recovery workflows, and validation plans that support rapid and provable recovery after disasters, operational mistakes, or cyberattacks. Lead deep technical discovery, design, and sizing discussions for complex opportunities, balancing scale, performance, security, operational simplicity, and cost across hybrid and cloud-native database estates Shape solution patterns that incorporate layered security controls such as encryption, identity integration, logging, and isolated recovery options to strengthen resilience in modern environments. Partner with account teams as a trusted technical advisor during discovery, workshops, architecture reviews, proof-of-value efforts, and executive-level customer conversations focused on data resilience outcomes. Build customer confidence by explaining platform capabilities, architectural considerations and trade-offs, competitive differentiation, and recommended protection approaches for mission-critical database workloads at scale. Enable sellers, partners, and customer technical teams through presentations, whiteboarding sessions, design reviews, and repeatable field guidance on database protection and cyber recovery use cases. Support customer recovery-readiness initiatives by helping define drill scenarios, success criteria, and evidence-based validation approaches that demonstrate recoverability under realistic failure and attack conditions. Serve as an internal subject matter expert on Commvault's support for databases, including broad coverage across cloud database services as well as on-prem and hybrid database platforms. Mentor field architects, solution engineers, and partner teams on reference architectures, competitive positioning, risk identification, and technical objection handling for database protection and cyber resilience opportunities. Collaborate closely with product management, engineering, professional services, and support teams to communicate field requirements, customer pain points, platform gaps, and enhancement opportunities for emerging database services and recovery capabilities. Develop reusable technical assets such as design patterns, qualification frameworks, recovery testing guidance, and architecture standards that improve execution consistency across the field organization.
