Job description

The Role

We're seeking a Customer Engineer to serve as the technical backbone of our customer relationships, supporting them from initial implementation through long-term success. In this role, you'll work directly with technical customers to design and deploy solutions, tackle complex integration challenges, and ensure they realize meaningful value from our platform. You'll also be a critical link between customers and the product team.

What You’ll Own

• Customer Implementations — Design, deploy, and optimize solutions tailored to customers' technical environments and business needs.

• Technical Consultation — Serve as a trusted advisor to customer engineering teams as they navigate complex implementation challenges.

• Customer Success — Promote onboarding, drive adoption, and ensure long-term success through proactive engagement.

• Product Feedback — Recognize trends across customers and communicate insights back to the product team.

• Technical Troubleshooting — Investigate and resolve integration issues, implementation barriers, and technical inquiries.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration — Partner with engineering, product, and GTM teams to enhance the customer experience.

• Documentation & Enablement — Create resources that empower customers and internal teams to operate more efficiently.

What You’ll Bring

• Solutions engineering, customer engineering, implementation, technical consulting, or developer support experience

• Strong technical foundations — APIs, integrations, and modern software architectures aren't foreign to you

• Direct experience working with technical customers in complex environments

• Clear communication across a range of audiences — from a junior engineer to a VP of Engineering

• A pattern recognition instinct. You notice recurring problems and do something about them

• Ownership mindset — you stay with a problem until it's solved

• Experience with APIs, integrations, developer tools, or enterprise software is a strong plus
