Customer Solutions Engineer
As a Customer Solutions Engineer at Sift, you are the bridge between the customer-facing team and the engineering and product teams. You explain complex ideas to customers and relay customer needs to engineering and product. When a customer’s needs and our product don’t fully align, you’re the internal customer advocate who drives critical solution changes and refinements to our offerings.
What you’ll do:
Own the most complex customer issues: Customer Solutions Engineering is a team of highly technical customer-facing experts. You’ll partner closely with our Customer Success Management as the technical liaison to Enterprise/Strategic accounts, and make sure they maximize Sift value.

Support the customer lifecycle: You will be the customer’s technical point of contact throughout their relationship with Sift, while also partnering with our Support team. You’ll understand the customer's business and technical needs. Day to day this involves understanding the nuances of their integration, working alongside Sift’s data science team to ensure the customer’s machine learning model health, meticulously whiteboarding the flow of their data to expand their integration, and being the internal voice of the customer. In short, you’ll do whatever it takes to make the customer successful.
Automate and Optimize: You will apply your deep technical and customer knowledge to help iterate on and improve internal and external processes. For some customers, you’ll write custom queries and scripts to calculate metrics to prove ROI, and optimize recurring processes. Internally, you will automate tasks, and take innovative approaches to problem-solving that will have the power to help guide internal decision-making.
