We are seeking a Solution Engineer to join our Professional Services team who thrives on solving operational and technical problems for customers. This role is heavily focused on solutioning, executing, implementing, and optimizing against customer strategies and business needs.

• Lead the technical solutioning for net new integrations, including discovery, technical design, build, test, and go live support.
• Act as the liaison between the customer and Field Nation Technical Delivery teams, ensuring integration specifications align with your designed workflow.
• Understand basic root-cause analysis for API errors and webhook failures to assist in rapid resolution during implementation.

Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

• Collaborate with Sales, Customer Experience, Program Management, and Engineering to execute simple to complex projects (implementations, integrations, etc.), identify and mitigate risks, and drive consistent outcomes and results.
• Confidently present, advocate, and defend technical plans and ideas to internal teams and customers, while remaining open to feedback.
• Work under moderate supervision with latitude for independent judgment.
• Continuously update training materials and share program trends/insights with the wider team to drive department improvement.
