Senior Solutions Engineer at Flatfile

Latency is the enemy of productivity and progress. That’s why we’re building an AI-powered data exchange platform that allows the most important enterprise data to flow from source to destination 100x faster than before. 

We’re seeking a talented, customer-obsessed solutions engineer to join our team at this pivotal moment—someone who understands that our customers are key to our success, and delivering solutions is key to theirs.

This exciting role sits at the forefront of what we do at Flatfile. As a Senior Solutions Engineer, you'll work closely with customers, driving the technical implementation of our platform to ensure seamless integration into diverse client environments. By collaborating with our Product and Engineering teams, you'll design, configure, and deploy solutions that fully leverage Flatfile’s data onboarding capabilities. While technical implementation is at the core of this role, you’ll also engage directly with customers to refine integrations, ensuring their unique needs are not only met but exceeded.

This role reports to: Jevon Wild, Manager of Solutions Engineering

• Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

• Senior Solutions Architect

Flatfile is experiencing rapid growth, especially among larger clients with complex data integration needs. We’re excited to bring in a Senior Implementation Engineer who can help us meet these demands by refining and scaling our technical implementation processes. This role is pivotal in ensuring our customers experience a smooth, efficient integration of Flatfile’s platform, directly impacting their success and satisfaction with our solutions.

As a Senior Solutions Engineer at Flatfile, your core responsibility during the pre-sales phase will involve the creation of proofs-of-concept (POCs) that are technically sound and aligned with potential customers' needs. This requires a deep understanding of customer requirements and becoming intimately familiar with their data-importing workflows. With this understanding, you will demonstrate the ability to effectively explain how Flatfile's solutions can address their unique challenges. Your work here is foundational, setting the stage for successful customer relationships.

Transitioning to post-sales, your focus will shift towards guiding customers to their desired end-state implementations. This entails ensuring that the solutions and strategies proposed during the pre-sales phase are appropriately executed, culminating in a seamless and effective integration of Flatfile's solutions into the customer's operations. Your role is critical in making sure that the initial promise of the POC translates into tangible results for our customers.

The main challenge in this dual-phased role is embodying the full-stack capabilities of a Solutions Engineer. This unique position requires not just the technical expertise to develop and implement solutions, but also the continuity of care to accompany the customer through the entire journey without the traditional hand-off to another team. This approach demands a blend of technical proficiency, problem-solving skills, and a customer-first mindset to ensure success and customer satisfaction.
