This exciting role sits at the forefront of what we do at Flatfile. As a Senior Solutions Engineer with HCM specialization, you'll work closely with enterprise customers in the HCM space including ADP, 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 may be listed at other companies as:

Why are we hiring for this role now?
Flatfile is experiencing rapid growth, especially among larger clients with complex data integration needs. We’re excited to bring in a Senior Solutions 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.
The job
As a Senior Solutions Engineer at Flatfile, your initial focus will be implementing Flatfile within ADP. This entails implementing the solutions and strategies proposed during the pre-sales phase, culminating in a seamless and effective integration of Flatfile's solutions into the customer's operations. You will be designing and writing solutions documentation to ensure the initial promise translates into tangible results for our customers. Additionally, you will assist in growing our HCM customers as new opportunities arise. You will be the technical advocate responsible for building POC’s and demos as additional use cases arise.
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.
Consider playing if the following sounds like you:
Platform Implementation: Lead the configuration and customization of Flatfile’s data exchange platform, ensuring a smooth integration into customer workflows and systems
Solution Design: Partner with customers and internal teams to create tailored solutions using Flatfile’s SDKs, APIs, and transformation hooks that address complex data onboarding challenges
Technical Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve technical issues during the implementation phase, ensuring that data is accurately mapped, validated, and transformed
Custom Data Workflows: Design and build customized data pipelines to automate data cleaning, validation, and mapping processes, ensuring adherence to required format.
Internal Collaboration: Work closely with Product and Engineering teams, providing feedback on customer use cases and identifying opportunities for platform improvements
Customer Interaction: Collaborate directly with customers during setup to understand their technical requirements, ensuring a smooth implementation experience.
Standout candidates will have:
- Experience in ADP implementation or data conversion
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering, solutions architecture, or technical implementation roles
- 2+ years of experience in customer-facing technical roles
- Demonstrated proficiency and deep, production-level full-stack experience in TypeScript and/or JavaScript
- Strong understanding of APIs, data serialization formats (CSV, XML, JSON), and software integration best practices
- Experience working with cloud-based infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud)
- Familiarity with data transformation and validation processes, and handling structured data imports and exports
- A knack for solving complex technical problems and translating customer needs into elegant solutions
- A startup mindset—adaptability, proactiveness, and a desire to improve processes and systems
Pass on applying if:
- You’re looking for a role with detailed playbooks and instructions—here, you’ll help define and build them
- You prefer highly structured environments and aren’t comfortable with ambiguity. At Flatfile, you’ll often have to seek out answers and make decisions without all the information at hand
- You thrive in slower-paced environments. Flatfile moves quickly, and priorities can shift as we adapt to new challenges and opportunities
- You don't have hands-on coding experience. Technical expertise, especially in JavaScript, is non-negotiable.
- You like to have specific playbooks and criteria already made for you. While we’re on our way to building this out, we’re not quite there yet (but we are close!).
- You have no experience in the SaaS space. Understanding SaaS dynamics is crucial for this role.
- You're uncomfortable with putting your sales hat on with prospects and growing customers. A key to success in this role will be your ability to assist in closing new business, as well as expanding current customers.
What tools will you use?
- In this role, you’ll leverage TypeScript/JavaScript for solution development, Flatfile’s APIs and SDKs for integration, and cloud services such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for deployment.
- Additionally, you'll use internal collaboration tools like Slack and Jira to communicate and coordinate with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success teams.
