Some fun facts about us, Kustomer is the core platform of some of the incredible customer service brands like Ring, Sweetgreen, Rent the Runway, Glossier, Away, Glovo, and UNTUCKit. We were founded in 2015 and are based out of NYC.

About the Role

Do you enjoy problem solving complex business problems facing companies every day? What if you had a next generation platform that could solve that goal? What if you could work for a company that is changing the way that companies interact with their customers? What if you could work alongside the best and brightest in the industry to craft innovative solutions and transformational strategies? All this in a driven, collaborative and rewarding environment... Sounds like fiction, you say? Absolutely not! Here at Kustomer, we call it Solutions Engineering.

The Solutions Engineer (SE) is responsible for all technical, solution, and competitive aspects of the Kustomer sales cycle. SEs must be both sales focused and technically savvy. They must be successful selling to SMB executives, and convincing C-level and director level executives of the technical merits of the software solution. The SE will work, in conjunction with Sales, Marketing, and Product Managers, to be the technical bridge between our AEs and their prospects. The SE will take ownership of the prime technical relationship with our prospects to drive customer satisfaction by proactively managing and delivering technical information to our customers both onsite, online, and via telephone. This is a remote position supporting the West & Mountain regions that will require travel in the future. The selected candidate can live anywhere within Pacific time zone.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Working closely with Sales teams, your peers, and product management to deliver the appropriate solution and establish credibility and trust with the customer
  • Evangelizing Kustomer platform value to customers (including business & IT executives)
  • Business requirements assessment and delivery of findings including key pain points, proposed solutions to meet business needs, and ROI where applicable
  • Development of a technical sales strategy
  • Configuring and effectively demonstrating our solutions in a way that closely reflects each customer's business (tailored demonstrations)
  • Mapping RFI/RFP requirements to software solutions
  • Scoping, managing and executing customer pilots and Proof of Concepts
  • Solution scoping abilities - using our existing solution and influencing new product development
  • May involve handling sensitive personal data

Your qualities:

  • 2+ years of related experience, preferably in the CRM, Contact Center or CX space
  • Hands-on experience with application architectures (e.g, REST API, JSON Payloads, Kustomer Workflows, React, and Node JS) 
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, persuasion, presentation and writing skills
  • Outstanding problem solving skills, including the ability to meet a business requirement with a technical solution
  • Must be willing to work in a fast paced startup environment with multiple roles
  • You possess a bachelor's degree or relevant professional experience
  • In the future, you're okay traveling for 30% of the time.
  • Obvious passion and people skills

An Insider's view of Kustomer

What are some social events your company does?

We've started a tradition we refer to as Kamp Kustomer - a yearly in-person retreat where we come together in fun locations like the Poconos to reconnect, build trust within our teams, and collaborate. It's a great chance to unwind from the daily routine and we always return with renewed energy and focus.

Catherine

Senior Technical Writer

What projects are you most excited about?

I am eager to work on the most complex use cases of our clients. These opportunities are where I can best demonstrate my skills and the power of the Kustomer platform. As a customer service-focused platform, Kustomer offers endless possibilities, and it’s rewarding to see the memorable customer service experiences our clients are able to create.

Megied

Solutions Engineering

What are some things you learned at the company?

Something that I’ve learned during my time at Kustomer is the power of embracing your team’s knowledge. As professionals in the workforce, we’re often pushed into thinking that we need to know everything and work in a silo. Everyone at Kustomer embraces collaboration and supporting each other through their projects. It’s very special in that way.

Lauren

Customer Success Manager

What unique initiatives do you have that encourage innovation?

Kustomer's new path forward brings generative AI advancements to the platform. Generative AI's new approach to building personalized context in our features leverages inputs and outputs within our data. A core tenet of ours is building these features in a responsible and ethical way by respecting privacy and security principles above all else.

Patrick

Software Engineering Manager

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

The People/Talent teams are working hard to add 50+ people to Kustomer in 2023! The challenge of finding great teammates who can help us be a better company than ever before is no small feat. We work hard to ensure that everyone we hire brings something unique to our Krew and is excited to work with others in order to make our vision come to life.
