About Hologram

Hologram is building the future of IoT connectivity, delivering internet access to millions of connected devices worldwide. We process over 5 billion transactions per month across our global infrastructure—this isn't just another app, it's the invisible backbone powering everything from fleet tracking to smart city infrastructure. We tackle challenges of scale, reliability, and performance that few companies face.

What Makes a Hologrammer?

We look for people with insatiable curiosity and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. Hologrammers are the type who dig deeper when things break, ask 'why' before 'how,' and aren’t satisfied until the solution is bulletproof.

You'll love working here if you:

Value tenacious ownership of outcomes: You don't just resolve tickets, you immerse yourself in the customer's use case, identify root causes, and follow through until their IoT devices are online and stable in production.

Crave genuine technical challenges: You want to solve problems that keep critical IoT systems online: diagnosing complex connectivity issues across networks, devices, and protocols, and ensuring customers' deployments work reliably at scale.

Relentlessly pursue growth: IoT technology evolves rapidly, and so do we. You embrace new challenges, quickly master emerging protocols and configurations, and share knowledge to elevate customers and teammates.

Solutions Engineer IAbout this role:

The Solutions Engineer I acts as a technical advisor and problem-solver, playing a key role in helping our customers succeed with Hologram. This role focuses on ensuring that IoT deployments get online and stay online. It is a customer-facing, post-sales technical position responsible for onboarding new customers, troubleshooting connectivity challenges, and guiding users through every phase of the deployment lifecycle—from initial provisioning to full-scale production.

Responsibilities:
  • Execute successful customer onboarding, partnering cross-functionally to ensure seamless deployment
  • Guide customers through SIM provisioning, device configuration, and connectivity setup
  • Diagnose and resolve SIM, device, and network-level connectivity issues in collaboration with internal teams
  • Own Level 2 (L2) support escalations, ensuring timely resolution and clear communication with customers
  • Work hand-in-hand with customers to scope, debug, and resolve technical challenges throughout the deployment lifecycle
  • Understand a wide variety of customer use cases, and align technical solutions with both business and functional requirements
  • Escalate complex or systemic issues while maintaining ownership and customer trust
  • Maintain and improve internal tooling, including AI-driven support tools and Documentation (internal and external).
  • Advocate for customers internally, surfacing product gaps, technical pain points, and feedback to improve the overall platform experience
Requirements:
  • Solid understanding of cellular networks, IoT devices, various Radio Access Technologies (RATs), and communication protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP, MQTT)
  • 2+ years in a customer-facing technical role (e.g., Solutions Engineer, Technical Support Engineer or Technical Consultant)
  • Experience working with scripting languages (e.g., Python or Ruby), SQL, and REST APIs
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics to non-technical audiences
  • A strong customer-centric mindset with a focus on solving problems and driving value
  • Proven ability to quickly learn and adapt to new technologies and technical concepts
You Might Be a Great Fit If You…
  • Enjoy solving complex, technical problems that directly impact customers
  • Have a curious, self-driven mindset and aren’t afraid to dive into logs, APIs, or device configurations
  • Thrive in customer conversations and can translate technical details into clear, actionable guidance
  • Are comfortable working across teams — from support and sales to product and engineering
  • Want to be part of a fast-moving team where your input shapes both the customer experience and the product


Target Salary Range: $95,000 - $120,000 + New Hire Equity grant (RSUs)
