Join an early-stage AI company serving the consumer packaged goods sector as a technical partner to customer operations teams. You will own implementations from initial discovery through go-live, helping customers improve their wholesale workflows and shaping product capabilities through insights from the field.

What You'll Do

  • Lead customer onboarding from discovery and integration through configuration, testing, and go-live.
  • Work with operators to map purchase-order-to-cash workflows and determine how the platform should support their needs.
  • Build and troubleshoot integrations across EDI, ERP, inventory, accounting, and freight systems.
  • Translate operational requirements into data models, configurations, and product capabilities.
  • Share implementation learnings with engineering and help turn customer feedback into product improvements.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 3 years of experience in forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, implementation engineering, technical onboarding, or a similar customer-facing technical role.
  • Experience owning customer onboarding end to end, from discovery through deployment and go-live.
  • Hands-on experience integrating EDI with ERP, inventory, accounting, and freight systems, ideally in CPG, supply chain, logistics, or wholesale operations.
  • Working knowledge of APIs, data models, SQL, and integration debugging, with the ability to read and write code as needed.
  • Strong systems thinking and comfort navigating ambiguity, operational complexity, and changing priorities.
