-   Partner closely with customers to deeply understand their ERP environment, data structures, accounting workflows, and success metrics.
-   Serve as the bridge between customers and our engineering team - gathering requirements, translating feedback into product insights, and surfacing unmet needs.
-   Analyze AI performance using evals, with a strong affinity for SQL and working with complex, real-world customer data
-   Build playbooks, onboarding frameworks, and training materials to create a scalable foundation for customer success

## Requirements

### **What we’re looking for**

-   2-3+ years in solution engineering, consulting, or forward deployed engineering with enterprise customers.

-   Hands-on problem-solver with a proactive, can-do approach.
-   Thrives in fast-paced, early-stage environments with high autonomy.
-   Passion for making AI a practical, everyday tool for real people.

## Benefits

-   Competitive salary
-   \\Career-defining growth: Big ambitions mean rapid progression, expanding responsibilities, and access to our San Francisco & YC network.
-   Competitive pay & meaningful equity: Share in the upside of a YC-backed, fast-scaling company.
