Remote – North America or LATAM | Full-Time | Canals AI
About CanalsCanals is a bootstrapped, profitable startup transforming wholesale distribution (a trillion-dollar industry) with AI. Our platform integrates seamlessly with the systems distributors already use, automating tedious tasks and reducing failure points in moving physical goods across the globe.
We’re a 55-person, fully remote team operating at millions in ARR and growing rapidly — all without outside funding.
We’re hiring a Solutions Engineer, helping distributors implement, integrate, and scale successfully on Canals. You’ll play a key role in onboarding new customers, ensuring their systems connect smoothly with our platform, and serving as a technical partner to Customer Success Managers post-launch.
This is a highly cross-functional role — part technical problem-solver, part educator, part process builder. You’ll work directly with customers to translate business needs into configuration and integration solutions, while also serving as a go-to product expert for our internal teams.
If you love APIs, databases, and the challenge of helping non-technical users unlock powerful tools, this role is for you.

Act as a technical subject matter expert during customer calls, explaining complex concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Investigate and resolve integration and data issues using APIs, SQL, and platform logs.
Collaborate closely with Engineering to debug, escalate, and document technical issues.
Contribute to the creation of internal tools, setup templates, and technical documentation to streamline future implementations.
