Job Description

Description

Location: Virginia/ Northern Virginia

Travel: This remote role is expected to travel up to customer sites, up to 50% of the time in the DC  area and eastern seaboard. 

 

We are looking for a competitive, self-motivated individual to join our sales team covering the DC area and eastern seaboard. This role blends technical expertise with entry-level product sales and is ideal for a Senior Sales Engineer or Solutions Architect interested in transitioning into a full-time sales position.

You will use your technical knowledge and relationship-building skills to work with vendors, partners, and system integrators to deliver optimal solutions for customers. On the sales side, you will be mentored by a 20-year sales veteran who transitioned from a technical background to a successful enterprise sales career.

 

Why you should join us: 

This is a unique opportunity. Unlike many companies in the data protection market, Spectra Logic has remained privately owned and funded, operating with a strong entrepreneurial spirit. You’ll find a challenging, fast-paced, flexible, and creative work environment where integrity and honesty are fundamental.

We offer a culture of growth and opportunity. Our product portfolio—including award-winning tape libraries, disk-based backup systems, secondary storage, and our hybrid storage platform BlackPearl—has never been stronger.

Who are we looking for: 

  • You’re a self-starter who loves to tinker and explore new technology.
  • You have a strong technical foundation and enjoy continuous learning.
  • You value both teamwork and individual accountability.
  • You connect easily with others and have strong interpersonal skills.
  • You’re ready to move from a technical role into full-time sales.
  • You’re comfortable presenting to both small and large groups.
  • Knowledge of modern APIs like S3, ReSTful, Microservices architecture, ObjectStorage…
  • You believe in work-life balance—and so do we.

 

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years in a pre-sales or similar customer-facing technical role
  • Experience in High Performance Computing (HPC)
  • Familiarity with cloud-based protocols, services, and terminology.
  • Knowledge of parallel file systems (e.g., Lustre, GPFS)
  • Experience with archive storage solutions
  • Federal market experience
  • Strong planning and time management skills

 

Helpful Experience:

  • Understanding of cloud data storage concepts
  • Ability to articulate the value proposition of a solution
  • Familiarity with the data storage, backup software and data archives
  • Knowledge of HPC workflows and ecosystem.
  • Working knowledge of S3, ObjectStorage, NAS systems and ZFS
  • Understanding of backup and archive methodologies
  • Exposure to data migration strategies; scripting experience is a plus
  • Knowledge of storage arrays, networking protocols, and multi-platform enterprise connectivity
  • Strong writing, verbal, and presentation skills
  • Experience networking with partners, resellers, and end users
  • Ability to create and manage quotes, revenue tracking, and gross profit analysis
  • Experience with prospecting, lead generation, and developing sales timelines

 

Education:

Preferred: Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical/business field

Alternate: Degree in another field with relevant technical experience

 

Compensation: $180,000-205,000 Total Cash at Target (a mix of base +commissions) 

 

 

Benefits:Spectra Logic provides a casual work environment, competitive salaries, and a compensation structure that rewards contribution and hard work. Our full benefits package includes 401(k), medical, sick pay, life, AD&D, flex spending accounts, and company paid short and long-term disability.
