THE ROLE
The OEM Solution Architect is the technical counterpart to the OEM Growth Product Manager, responsible for the technical architecture, integration, certification, and lifecycle management of Everpure’s most strategic OEM relationships, including but not limited to Telco, Healthcare, and AI Infrastructure. This role owns the end-to-end technical solution lifecycle between the OEM, relevant third-party technology alliances, and Everpure — ensuring joint offerings are architecturally sound, interoperable, and built to scale.
Reporting into the Everpure Solutions Engineering organization, this role partners closely with the OEM Growth Product Manager in the Enterprise Line of Business — who owns the programmatic, commercial, and operational dimensions of these relationships — to translate partner and end-customer requirements into validated architectures, drive certification and interoperability, and ensure technical roadmap alignment across Engineering, Product, and Alliances.

- Own OEM solution architecture: Serve as the primary technical owner and liaison between OEM partners, third-party alliance partners, and Everpure.
- Manage the end-to-end solution lifecycle: Own documented reference architectures that integrate Everpure storage with the full-stack components required by each OEM solution.
- Lead certification and interoperability: Drive technical certification and interoperability testing with OEM and third-party partner engineering teams, in partnership with Everpure Engineering and CX, to establish and maintain approved solution status.
- Drive technical alliance relationships: Establish joint technical roadmaps, recurring architecture reviews, technical governance, and escalation paths with OEM and third-party alliance engineering counterparts.
- Translate requirements into technical direction: Convert OEM partner and end-customer technical requirements into architecture specifications and engineering backlogs, driving alignment across Product Management, Engineering, and Alliances.
