Own customer implementations end-to-end and build the post-sales function from scratch alongside the founders and engineering team\n\nLooking for: 2+ years of experience in technical, customer-facing, or implementation roles. Strong coding fundamentals, clear communication, and high ownership\n\nCompensation: €50-70k + ESOP\n\nBased in Madrid, working in person from our office in Madrid\n\n--\nOver the last few years, we’ve built a product customers genuinely love. More than 200 companies have implemented Invopop using only our API docs and support channels.\nAs we move upmarket, larger enterprises need more hands-on technical support to design, build, and launch their integrations successfully. That’s why I’m looking for a Founding Solutions Engineer to help us build the post-sales function from scratch.\nYou’ll work directly with engineering teams at some of the world’s fastest-moving tech companies to get them live across multiple countries. You’ll debug integrations, answer hard technical questions, design rollout plans, and help customers move from signed contract to production launch.\nYou should be technical enough to read logs, reason about integration architecture, and write quick scripts when needed - but also pragmatic, organized, and comfortable working directly with customers.\nYou’ll report directly to me initially and, over time, help shape how implementations and technical onboarding work at Invopop.\nAbout Invopop\nInvopop helps global companies like Qonto, Hyundai, and DeepL issue and receive invoices across more than 30 countries through a single API.\nIn the next five years, more than 40 countries, including the entire EU, will mandate that businesses send invoices electronically in XML format and report them in real time to tax authorities. This reduces fraud and enables companies to automate invoice processing instead of relying on OCR. There’s only one catch: each country has defined unique standards, forcing global companies to build dozens of local integrations-or integrate once with Invopop. :)\nInvopop was founded by Sam Lown, co-founder and former CTO of Cabify, and Juan Moliner (ex-BCG), based on Sam’s experience dealing with this problem at Cabify\nWe’ve raised €2.8M from top-tier venture capital firms, including YCombinator (W23), and have been named the Best Startup at South Summit 2024 and Madrid's Hottest Startup of 2024 by Wired.\nYour mission as Founding Solutions Engineer\nYour job is simple: help customers launch successfully with Invopop.\nThis includes:\nOwning Enterprise customer onboarding from contract signature to production launch\n\nWorking directly with customer engineering teams to design and debug integrations\n\nHelp customers think through rollout plans and implementation approaches\n\nAnswer technical questions during the sales process alongside the commercial team\n\nImprove API docs and build ERP connectors based on your learning\n\nBuild the playbook for implementations and technical onboarding\n\nWho we're looking for\nMust-have:\n2+ years of experience as software engineer or post-sales technical support\n\nExcellent written and spoken English\n\nComfortable reading API docs, logs, HTTP requests, and JSON/XML payloads\n\nAble to write code or scripts when needed\n\nStrong communication, ownership, and structured thinking\n\nComfortable working directly with customers and driving projects forward\n\nNice to have:\nFamiliarity with fintech, ERP, billing, tax, or compliance systems\n\nSpanish\n\nWhere you'll work\nWe’re in Madrid (Calle Guadalquivir, El Viso), 5 minutes from Nuevos Ministerios.\nNo fixed schedule. We expect at least 3 days/week in the office - high-context work moves faster in person.
