Customer Solutions Engineer

The Opportunity

As the Customer Solutions Engineer on the Nexla team, you focus on post-sales customer use case discovery, articulation, implementation, and value delivery. You will be a critical business contributor by architecting and implementing customer use cases from pilot stages, to production, to renewal, and expansions.

You must be a strong communicator with a positive attitude, and have the ability to understand the needs of customers and translate them into solutions that solve problems with a remarkable user experience. When customers encounter the manner in which you engage with them, and the way in which you design and implement solutions to address their needs, you become a key contributor to achieving or exceeding the customer’s objectives. You will often find that you will need to get creative with how to fit in and map complex customer use cases to the capabilities of Nexla today, while giving Product and Engineering teams any feedback on the gaps you may uncover.

That said, getting first-hand interaction with customers and problems they are trying to solve also makes you a key influencer for the product roadmap. Some of what you develop may also make its way into the product. Your creativity however, will always take the lead in helping you use existing capabilities to map the best flows and workflow models you can. When you run into specific roadblocks, you will always have the Nexla Product and Engineering resources to back you up as well.
