## About the role

A deep technical seat in Solutions Engineering: API and integration architecture, enterprise deal qualification, and the standing partnership with Engineering and Product. You're the single owner for qualification and demo strategy on the highest-MRR, highest-leverage deals, and the escalation point when a teammate hits a genuine product or integration gap rather than a configuration issue. The role spans every route to market, but most people anchor one. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's Degree or 7+ years of relevant work experience in a comparable senior technical, solutions-architecture, or implementation role
- Deep fluency in Salesforce (or a comparable CRM) and Gusto's integration stack — able to diagnose root cause across systems, not just within one
- Proven ability to scope and resolve genuinely ambiguous technical/API problems, and to tell a real product gap apart from everything downstream of it
- Track record of designing and implementing complex, integration-heavy solutions for enterprise-level customers
- Comfort operating as the technical point of contact directly with Engineering and Product, including writing escalations that hold up as real bug reports
- Demonstrated mentorship — able to set the technical bar for a broader team, not just clear your own queue
