What We'll Love About You

• You have at least 3 years in a revenue-driving, customer-facing technical role - solutions engineer, sales engineer, support engineer, or related
• Ecommerce knowledge & past experience required, Shopify ecosystem highly preferred
• Experience working with top-tier Shopify/ecommerce brands (enterprise in this space typically means high-GMV DTC or omnichannel retailers - not Fortune 500 scale)
• You exemplify a "customer first" attitude
• You are technical, comfortable with front end web technologies (JavaScript, CSS, etc.) and can create proof of concept product integrations using well-documented APIs
• You're genuinely energized by AI - not just open to it, but excited by where it's headed. At Postscript, this isn't optional: we build our product with AI, sell AI-powered features, and use AI daily in how we work. You already use AI tools in your own workflow, you can speak to AI capabilities with real credibility in front of a prospect, and you'd rather be experimenting with what's possible than waiting to be told it's safe to try
• Email marketing platform experience is a plus, especially if you've navigated deliverability, segmentation, or cross-channel orchestration
• You are detail-oriented, naturally curious, and strive to be an expert in anything you spend time on
• You're a strong cross-functional collaborator who can navigate relationships with Product and Engineering independently, not just alongside a manager
• You're an excellent communicator, able to quickly translate complex technical ideas for both technical and non-technical audiences, on the fly, in remote and in-person settings
• You work well under pressure and can confidently present to both executive and day-to-day stakeholders at our customers
• Comfortable wading through the unknown - investigating and verifying answers to complex, undocumented questions is energizing to you, not draining
