This is not a quota-carrying sales role. You will work alongside senior engineers, product leaders, and ecosystem partners to support strategic solution design, technical validation, and scalable client engagement. You will develop into a trusted technical advisor by learning how IBM Storage solutions power hybrid cloud infrastructure for AI, data-intensive AI workloads, next-generation applications, and mission-critical customer environments. This role is an opportunity to grow into a future solutions engineer capable of driving measurable customer outcomes and contributing to IBM's broader storage and hybrid cloud strategy. Roles and Responsibilities * Support senior engineers in client discovery, requirements analysis, and early technical qualification. * Participate in client conversations focused on emerging technologies and challenging solution opportunities, providing research, demos, or technical collateral. * Conduct lab validation, proof-of-concept (PoC) setups, solution testing, and basic architectural documentation. * Contribute to the creation of repeatable solution assets, including configuration guides, validation briefs, and internal knowledge articles based on client solutions. * Support the integration of successful client solutions into broader solution roadmaps and go-to-market (GTM) assets. * Assist with operational tasks for partner programs, enablement sessions, ecosystem onboarding, and curated demos. * Support the analysis of solution adoption, customer and partner activity, and technical enablement metrics. ## Related Videos - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Generating code with Angular schematics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/129-generating-code-with-angular-schematics) - [Data Fabric in Action - How to enhance a Stock Trading App with ML and Data Virtualization](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/253-data-fabric-in-action-how-to-enhance-a-stock-trading-app-with-ml-and-data-virtualization) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [What does the history of data storage tell us about the future?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/495-what-does-the-history-of-data-storage-tell-us-about-the-future) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [6 Emerging Technologies We’ll Learn About in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/381-6-emerging-technologies-we-ll-learn-about-in-2025) - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know)
