Top 3 Apply Now

Highest-probability roles this week

  • SHI Strategic SE — JD is literally your resume. $160K–$260K remote. Apply at builtin.com/job/solutions-engineer-strategic/7458017

Pure Storage Note

Pure Storage rebranded to Everpure

All Pure Storage job postings now appear under the Everpure brand on Greenhouse. The CT Enterprise SE role (job 8042530) is the only live NE-adjacent Pure/Everpure seat right now. The old "Systems Engineer, Commercial – MA" LinkedIn listing is closed — do not apply to it.

Rubrik Reality Check

No NE commercial SE seats open

Rubrik's careers page was fetched directly Jul 17 2026. US openings are CA, OH, NC, TX, and US-Remote Federal/AI only. No NE commercial SE seat exists today. Best current Rubrik path: GSI Global SA – Cognizant (US Remote) or set a job alert on rubrik.com/company/careers.

Veeam Strategy

No NE SE seat — but pipeline is right

Veeam's nearest US SE seat is MN (Jan 2026). Apply to it anyway — Veeam frequently reassigns territory post-hire for strong candidates. Also apply to the Lead Solutions Architect (Greenhouse 4856683101) which is architecture-heavy and remote. Set alert at careers.veeam.com for "Northeast" or "Massachusetts."

VAR Approach

SHI, Blue Mantis, ePlus, Presidio, CDW, and Connection all hire from referrals and partner vendor relationships. If you know any AMs or SEs at these firms from past VAR work, reach out directly before applying cold — a warm intro jumps you ahead of the ATS queue at every one of these companies.
