Qumulo's cloud data platform manages exabytes of the world's most demanding data, unifying files, objects, and every workload across edge, core, and cloud. About the Position: This is the technical lead focusing on Qumulo's healthcare, life sciences, and pharmaceutical accounts. You'll partner with Sales and customers across the full cycle, from discovery through proof-of-concept, designing storage architectures for clinical care, research, and regulated environments. The work is hands-on with the people doing the work: healthcare IT directors, research informatics teams, compliance officers, and clinical application owners running PACS and VNA systems, EHR platforms, genomic pipelines, and clinical trial data. You'll translate their requirements into solutions that perform at scale and hold up under HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and GxP. Responsibilities:

- Own the technical relationship on healthcare and life sciences opportunities, from discovery and demos through POCs and architecture sign-off
- Partner with account teams to qualify deals and shape technical strategies for clinical, research, and regulated workloads including medical imaging, genomics, drug discovery, and clinical trial data
- Design architectures that meet the realities of regulated environments: data sovereignty, audit trails, DR, HA, and secure multi-site collaboration
- Build credibility with healthcare IT, research informatics teams, compliance officers, and clinical application owners
- Build and maintain the healthcare technical toolkit: reference architectures, compliance briefs, solution documentation, and competitive positioning

Qualifications:

- 8+ years in a customer-facing technical role (Systems Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Healthcare Solutions Engineer) at a software, storage, or tech company, including 4+ years focused on healthcare, life sciences, or pharma
- Strong grounding in unstructured data storage for regulated environments: imaging performance, lifecycle management, secure access, and archival, including NFS, SMB, and object
- Working knowledge of healthcare data workflows: medical imaging (DICOM, PACS, VNA), EMR, genomics and bioinformatics pipelines, clinical research data, or pharma manufacturing - as well as HIPAA, HITECH, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, and data retention requirements
- Track record leading complex pre-sales engagements end to end in regulated environments
- Comfort engaging clinical, research, IT, compliance, and executive audiences in the same room

Candidates with the following additional experience will be highly regarded:

- Experience with HL7, FHIR, medical imaging informatics, genomics file formats (FASTQ, BAM, VCF), or research data management platforms
- Background supporting health systems, IDNs, pharma R&D, biotech research, or CROs
- Familiarity with cloud and hybrid architectures for regulated data, and AI/ML in medical imaging or drug discovery
- Working knowledge of CTMS, EDC, LIMS, or drug discovery computational platforms

The annual pay range for the role is USD $260,000 - $270,000 OTE plus equity. Individual pay depends on various factors, such as role level, relevant experience and skills. Pay ranges are reviewed and typically updated each year. Offers are made within the pay range applicable at the time. Benefits & Perks:
