- Advise customers on best‑practice integration approaches and implementation strategies
- Support Business Development by clearly communicating carrier availability, supported programs, and technical feasibility
- Collaborate with Engineering to confirm technical requirements, edge cases, and delivery timelines
Integration Support & Technical Triage
- Act as an escalation point for integration‑related tickets, reducing friction across Account Management, Operations, and Engineering
- Help define, support, and improve SLAs for technical tickets and customer integrations
- Identify recurring integration issues and drive root‑cause resolution with Engineering
- Streamline technical workflows to reduce back‑and‑forth and improve time‑to‑resolution
Documentation, Enablement & Scale
- Create and maintain high‑quality technical documentation, including FAQs, integration guides, and implementation resources
- Analyze common integration questions and convert them into scalable documentation and knowledge‑base content
- Improve internal enablement by aligning Sales, AMs, and Ops on accurate technical messaging and expectations
Cross‑Functional Leadership
- Partner closely with Engineering to align technical realities with customer‑facing messaging
- Provide feedback on product gaps, integration friction, and roadmap risks
- Support clearer communication around product changes, launch timelines, and roadmap updates
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience as a Solutions Engineer, Sales Engineer, or Technical Presales role in a SaaS environment
- Strong experience with APIs, integrations, and technical system design
- Proven ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences
- Experience supporting customer integrations, implementations, or onboarding
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including technical documentation
- Highly organized, proactive, and able to operate independently in ambiguous environments
Nice to Have

- Familiarity with carrier integrations or complex third‑party ecosystems
- Experience creating presales architecture diagrams or technical enablement materials
- Exposure to ticketing systems and SLA‑driven support models
