Engineering designs and develops requested product features, fixes bugs within our platform, provides technical analysis and estimation, ensures successful integration installations, manages and monitors the health of our platform, develops automation and tooling for efficient and reliable software development process, and works closely with the Product Support team on customer-reported issue investigations. Engineering works cross-functionally with many other departments in the organization as a team to fulfill Findhelp’s mission of connecting all people in need and the programs that serve them with dignity and ease. The Staff Technical Solutions Engineer plays a pivotal role for our rapidly expanding base of customers and partners that supports people in need across the US. We need someone to provide technical solutioning, superb customer and partner support, and project management and implementation of our technical capabilities while acting as an internal technical subject matter expert and cross-functional team liaison. In addition to delivering our technical solutions, this person needs to be skilled in customer service and passionate about the world of social care.
Responsibilities and Duties:
- Develop and maintain strong customer and partner relationships through communication, relationship building, and technical mastery.
- Drive system adoption by acting as a project manager, problem solver, and partner champion to implement technical solutions with partners.
- Serve as an expert in areas such as integrations, eligibility, or other technical areas of the product to support Customer Success Managers with customer scoping and project delivery.
- Diagnose technical issues and identify solutions to ensure successful implementations.
- Standardize best practices for workflows that solve technical or otherwise complex challenges for customers and partners; advocate externally and internally for implementation of these practices.
- Serve as an internal and external stakeholder for new and impactful technical projects that enable easy access to social care for those who need it.
- Guide vendor partners to scope, develop, and implement new integrations or other technically complex product features.
- Identify ways to improve the software and integration offerings, and work with Product and Engineering to prioritize, develop, and implement enhancements.
Qualifications
- Communication powerhouse: You're an expert at tailoring your communication (whether presentation, verbal, or written) to your audience (you'll be working across internal, partner, and technical teams). You move fluidly between both the technical world, working alongside Engineers, and also the business world, leading requirements calls with customers and partners, including executives. You have experience leading escalated customer or partner situations and directing towards a positive outcome for all parties involved.
- Technically savvy: You’re technically adept, troubleshooting problems to determine the root issue and identify resolutions. You can learn new technologies quickly, using your time efficiently. You can write and run basic or moderately complex SQL queries for data exploration. You have demonstrated experience working with code, databases, integrations (APIs, Webhooks, etc.), SQL, JIRA, Python, Javascript, and/or Google Cloud.
- You build bridges, not walls: You’re not afraid to jump into a problem and tackle it head on, and you’re always willing to help others (in fact, it excites you!). As the ‘swiss army knife’ of roles at findhelp, you stop at nothing to get our customer and partner problems solved.
- Detail oriented: This position requires strong analytical, communication, planning, and project management skills.
- You thrive in ambiguity: You're not afraid of researching stuff you don't know about. This assures you punch above your weight class — ability may be far greater than experience.
- Independent: You're a leader and proactive self-starter and take ownership over your accounts and projects to drive them to resolution, needing minimal direction to determine and work towards the best path forward.
- Organized: You can manage a broad scope of work expertly. You'll have a number of plates in the air, and you can ensure that none of those plates will drop.
- 5+ years experience in account management, technical customer support, customer success, or partnerships. You're experienced working with teams of all levels, from analysts and application owners through executive leadership.
