Full Job Description
Job Title: Sr. Solutions Engineer

Location: New York, NY (In-office 4x per week "Grand Central")

Company: Kizen, www.kizen.com

About the Role

We are seeking a dynamic Sr. Solutions Engineer to join our growing team. This role will require strong pre-sales experience, along with strong technical implementation experience. In this customer-facing role, you will partner with customer technical teams to drive successful post-sale implementations. Reporting directly to the VP of Solutions (insurance & financial services), you will leverage your technical expertise in enterprise solutions to showcase Kizen's value, solve complex customer challenges, and deploy production ready solutions.

Key Responsibilities

What You'll be Doing
  • Owning the technical architecture of client solutions - reconciling competing business, technical, and data requirements into a single coherent design that's actually buildable on the platform
  • Leading technical implementation end to end - spending the majority of your time hands-on in Kizen configuring, integrating, testing, and iterating, not just designing on paper
  • Transforming client needs into powerful solutions using our low-code platform
  • Configuring scalable solutions for clients within Kizen, executing their business requirements
  • Guiding clients through the entire deployment journey, from kickoff to go-live
  • Owning the solution post-go-live, troubleshooting issues, debugging integrations, and ensuring it runs reliably in the client's real environment
  • Working with APIs, automation tools, and data pipelines to build seamless integrations between platforms
  • Partnering directly with client development teams on integration design, data flow, and technical implementation
  • Cleaning and transforming data to ensure every field lands in the right place, at the right time
  • Building test plans and validating solutions against requirements before and after go-live
  • Operating in ambiguity and uncovering undocumented requirements and unstated constraints that only surface during implementation
  • Identifying solution gaps and translating them into clear, prioritized feedback for the product team
  • Leading business discovery and translating complex requirements into clear, actionable technical documentation
  • Delivering hands-on training to help clients unlock the full potential of Kizen
  • Continuously identifying areas to improve processes using real-time data insights
  • Tracking tasks, reporting progress, and proactively clearing blockers to keep things moving fast
  • Comfortable occasionally supporting pre-sales scoping and technical conversations as an early team member
Requirements

Minimum Requirements - What You Bring
  • 5+ years in SaaS implementation, solution delivery, solutions engineering or hands-on technical consulting
  • Successful lead pre/sales activities with enterprise clients.
  • Experience architecting data models and system integrations (APIs, ETL processes), particularly between systems like EMRs, CRMs, ERPs, etc.
  • Hands-on experience with data transformation (Excel, Python, ETL/API work)
  • Hands-on technology implementation skills (configuring, testing, iterating SaaS solutions)
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across integrations, data pipelines, and APIs
  • Comfortable reading documentation and tracing data through unfamiliar systems to diagnose issues
  • Demonstrated ability to write clear business and technical requirements
  • Takes end-to-end ownership. You measure success by whether the client's solution works in production, not by whether the design was sound
  • Able to operate independently and drive a deployment forward without a playbook or a team to lean on
  • Solid understanding of business processes, operations, and workflow optimization
  • Able to work credibly with both business stakeholders and technical/engineering teams, translating between them
  • Fast learner able to quickly ramp into new industries and use cases with confidence and curiosity
  • A knack for teaching others - whether it's running a training or creating killer documentation
  • Proactive mindset: you don't wait for problems to come to you - you go find them (and fix them)
  • Obsessive attention to detail - you take pride in precision
  • A growth mindset: you're hungry to learn, adapt, and level up every single day

Ideal Candidate will have:
  • Experience in regulated industries like healthcare, (insurance or financial services preferred)
  • Successfully led enterprise engagement starting at pre/sales to driving successful implementation.
  • Strong technical foundation with the ability to discuss architecture, APIs, and integration patterns fluently
  • Fluent in SQL, Excel wizardry, or Python scripting. Prompt engineering experience is a plus
  • Understanding of AI, ML, and automation concepts (we can teach this!)
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and modern software development workflows
  • A deep love for tech, data, and using both to drive better outcomes
