What You'll Do

  • Own customer onboarding end to end, including discovery, integration, configuration, testing, and go-live.

  • Translate operational requirements into data models, configurations, and product capabilities.
  • Share customer implementation insights with engineering to inform product improvements.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 3 years in forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, implementation engineering, technical onboarding, or a similar customer-facing technical role.
  • Experience owning customer onboarding from discovery through deployment and go-live.
  • Technical fluency with APIs, data models, SQL, and integration debugging, with the ability to read and write code.
  • Hands-on experience building or troubleshooting integrations across EDI, ERP, inventory, accounting, and freight systems.
  • Ability to map purchase-order-to-cash workflows and turn complex operational needs into clear technical solutions.
  • Experience in consumer packaged goods, supply chain, logistics, or ERP integrations is valuable.
  • Strong systems thinking, ownership, and comfort working through ambiguity and complex customer challenges.
