Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Solutions Engineer to bridge the gap between our development team and our brand partners. This hybrid role combines hands-on technical expertise with client-facing responsibilities to ensure smooth onboarding, successful integrations, and a best-in-class customer experience.

You will act as a trusted technical advisor to our retail partners, owning the pre-sales technical process, managing onboarding, and translating complex brand requirements into scalable solutions. Your developer background will enable you to dive deep into our platform and integrations, while your excellent communication skills will help you confidently present technical information to non-engineering stakeholders.

If you enjoy solving complex technical problems and thrive in presenting and collaborating with diverse stakeholders, this role offers a unique chance to drive impact both inside the company and with our brand partners.

• We’re embracing AI development tools and look for measurable gains from using them. If we achieve 2x speed regularly, we consider that a success.

Who We’re Looking For

• Key Skills: Typescript, Python, React & AWS
• Experienced software engineer or developer with a solid understanding of backend and frontend technologies, APIs, and integration patterns
• Proven track record in a client-facing technical role such as solutions engineer, pre-sales engineer, technical consultant, or developer advocate
• Comfortable communicating complex technical concepts clearly and confidently to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience working with e-commerce platforms and integrations, ideally including Shopify, BigCommerce, or similar
• Strong problem solver with the ability to independently manage projects from concept through delivery

• Familiar with A/B testing, analytics, and growth-focused product development
