You'll run discovery to map their existing systems, define the integration architecture, coordinate development work across agency partners and internal engineering, and keep delivery on track from first demo to go-live. Think part technical architect, part delivery lead, part trusted advisor.\nYou'll travel to creator offices and venues globally, sit alongside their operations teams, based in their offices at times and solve the real-world problems that surface when complex businesses move onto a new platform.\nYou won't necessarily be writing production code day-to-day, but you need to be technically sharp: comfortable reading APIs, evaluating architecture decisions, reviewing what agencies deliver, and holding your own in a room with engineers. The problems you'll solve are rarely the same twice, and you'll need to learn fast, adapt constantly, and stay close to the product as it evolves.\nThis role sits within the Customer Success team and works cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Sales.\nWhat You'll Do\nSupport Pre-Sales\nPartner with Sales on complex deals where technical depth is needed to win - joining discovery calls, scoping requirements, and helping build the commercial case for Easol.\n\nConduct technical discovery with prospects to surface complex requirements, assess platform fit, and identify integration needs early, so there are no surprises post-signature.\n\nDesign and deliver solution narratives and product demonstrations tailored to a prospect's specific operational setup and commercial goals.\n\nFeed structured insights from pre-sales back to the Product team so that recurring prospect needs and market gaps are captured and prioritised.\n\nLead Enterprise Deployments\nOwn end-to-end technical delivery for enterprise creators post-sale - from scoping through to go-live.\n\nRun technical discovery with creator teams to map their existing systems (PMS, channel managers, F&B/POS, identity, data warehouses, BI tools) and define how they integrate with Easol.\n\nDefine the technical architecture for each engagement and coordinate delivery across agency partners and internal engineering - managing scope, quality, and timelines.\n\nWork with Easol’s engineering team to extend the API surface where enterprise needs go beyond existing endpoints.\n\nTravel to and embed at creator offices and venues globally for extended periods. This is the core of the role - you go where the work is.\n\nHand over to the ongoing Customer Success team once creators are live and self-sufficient, with clear documentation of what was built and how it works.\n\nBe the Platform Expert\nBuild and maintain deep knowledge of Easol’s platform, its architecture, capabilities, configuration options, integration points, and roadmap. You’re the person who knows what the platform can and can’t do.\n\nFeed structured insights from the field back to Product: recurring pain points, unmet needs, and integration patterns that should become first-class features.\n\nSpot commercial opportunities within accounts - revenue optimisation, conversion uplift, operational efficiency and surface them to the wider team.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nExperience\nA background in solutions consulting, technical implementation, professional services, or forward deployed engineering at a B2B SaaS company, ideally in travel, hospitality, events, or commerce.\n\nTrack record of managing complex technical deliveries end-to-end with real customer teams: scoping, coordinating builds, launching, and iterating.\n\nExperience supporting enterprise pre-sales: joining discovery calls, scoping requirements, and contributing to deal closure on technically complex opportunities.\n\nExperience managing delivery through agency partners or contractors, not just internal teams.\n\nTechnical Fluency\nStrong understanding of web platforms, REST APIs, webhooks, authentication flows, and data pipelines. You don’t need to be a full-time developer, but you need to scope work accurately, review technical output, and earn the respect of engineers.\n\nFamiliarity with data and analytics tools (e.g. GA4) and CRM/marketing integrations (e.g. Klaviyo).\n\nComfortable with version control (Git), deployment workflows, and working directly alongside engineering teams.\n\nProblem-Solving & Communication\nExcellent discovery skills - you ask the right questions to understand what a creator actually needs, not just what they say they want. You map requirements against platform capabilities and identify where the gaps are.\n\nYou can run a detailed technical requirements session with an engineering team in the morning and present a progress update to a founder over lunch. You adjust your language to the room.\n\nCommercial awareness - you understand how technical decisions affect revenue, retention, and growth, and you can connect the dots for non-technical stakeholders.\n\nYou maintain a productive feedback loop between the field and internal product and engineering teams. Insights from your deployments shape what gets built next.\n\nMindset\nGenuine curiosity about how businesses operate. You take pride in knowing a platform inside out and being the person others turn to for a definitive answer.\n\nSelf-directed and comfortable with ambiguity. This role changes shape with the pipeline, and you need to prioritise and context-switch with confidence.\n\nWilling and able to travel extensively - including extended on-site stays, when the work demands it.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5728,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commerce","Events & Ticketing","Travel & Tourism"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T10:18:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.212,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":154,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T18:23:36Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/easol-forward-deployed-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/easol-forward-deployed-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T18:23:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":27911,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2137214},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2137214"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Feasol-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Feasol-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Feasol-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/easol-forward-deployed-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Feasol-forward-deployed-engineer"}]}
