About the role:
Success Engineers represent Veeam’s deepest technical bench and operate as a specialized overlay function supporting eligible accounts in close partnership with Customer Success Engineers (CSEs), Customer Success Specialist (CSSs), and Sales teams. This role is designed to be pulled into customer engagements when advanced product expertise or domain depth is required to accelerate outcomes, derisk adoption, or support complex expansion opportunities.
The Success Engineer team is intentionally multidimensional and will include:
- Product focused specialists across Kasten, VDC, Vault, and the broader Veeam Data Platform (VDP), and
- Domain experts spanning Security, Cloud, and AI.
Success Engineers blend deep technical credibility with strong customer facing and consultative skills. They engage directly with senior customer stakeholders—including CIOs and CISOs—to assess resilience posture, guide solution design, and influence long term roadmap strategy. By amplifying Veeam’s technical authority, Success Engineers help ensure customers realize maximum value while enabling Sales and CSE teams to operate with greater focus and efficiency.
What You’ll Do
- Serve as a technical overlay to CSEs and CSSs, providing specialized expertise when advanced product or domain depth is required.
- Lead solution design reviews, customer readiness assessments, and risk or maturity modeling engagements across the Veeam Data Platform.
- Engage directly with CIO and CISO stakeholders on resilience posture, risk exposure, and longterm data protection and modernization strategies.
- Support security, cloud, and AIled expansion motions in partnership with Sales and CSE teams, helping shape technical strategy and customer narratives.
- Monitor telemetry, inspection signals, and maturity indicators (e.g., DRMM where applicable) to identify risk, optimization opportunities, and expansion signals.
- Validate architectures and designs to derisk adoption and accelerate time to value.
- Align tightly with Sales Engineering teams on required deliverables and engagement strategy, enabling Sales to remain focused on presales motions while Success Engineers support post sale depth and continuity.
- Operate as a pooled specialist resource across Enterprise and Commercial Named accounts (generally $100K+ ARR), with coverage models aligned to demand and specialization.
- Amplify Veeam’s technical authority in customer conversations by translating complex technical concepts into clear, outcome oriented guidance.
Note: Success Engineers are not the primary owners of onboarding or renewals but provide targeted support where advanced technical involvement materially improves outcomes.
What You’ll Bring
- 5+ years of experience in advanced technical or architecture roles (e.g., Security Engineer/Architect, Cloud Solution Architect, Platform Engineer, MLOps / ML Engineer).
- Strong depth in at least one product area (Kasten, VDC, Vault, or VDP) or one domain area (Security, Cloud, AI), with the ability to collaborate across specialties.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field; advanced degree preferred.
- Relevant industry certifications (e.g., CompTIA Security+, CISSP, cloud or platform certifications); VMCE preferred or willingness to complete posthire.
- Demonstrated ability to engage senior technical and executive stakeholders (CIO/CISO) on risk, resilience, and strategic roadmaps.
- Handson experience with solution design, proofs of concept, telemetry analysis, and maturity or risk modeling frameworks.
- Strong communication, stakeholder management, and cross functional collaboration skills.
- Comfort operating in an overlay model, balancing multiple accounts and priorities with impact.
