Hi, I'm Joe, Head of Customer Success at Whippy. I'm hiring a Solutions Engineer to design and build the solutions our customers run their business on. This isn't a pre-sale demo role. After the deal closes, you own the customer: you scope their problem, build the workflows, AI agents, and integrations that solve it, and grow the account from there.
This role is for someone with 2-5 years of experience who's ready to own a book of customers end to end.
Some things you'll do- Design and build solutions in Whippy without engineering: workflows, AI voice and text agents, automations, and data syncs back into the customer's ATS.
- Scope technical requirements with customers, translate them into a working build, and test and verify every piece before it goes live.
- Own the customer after go-live, from onboarding through renewal and expansion, as their single point of contact and trusted technical advisor.
- Juggle multiple customers and projects at once, and prioritize based on impact.
- Pick up the phone. Reach out proactively, ask the question instead of guessing, and get ahead of problems before they turn into escalations.
- Own your gross and net revenue retention, and get rewarded for beating targets.
- Tie usage to business outcomes, and report value back in the metrics customers actually care about.
- Spot expansion signals and hand warm leads to sales when usage outgrows the contract.
- Turn wins into case studies, references, and testimonials that help sales win the next customer.
- Tell customers the truth, steering them away from work that won't move their business and toward the work that will.
- Advocate for the customer. Feed what you hear to product, sales, and engineering so we build the right things.
- Experiment and iterate. If you have an idea to do something better, do it and document what you learn.
Our customer success valuesThis is a high-performance environment, and I'll coach and support you through it. You'll be challenged, coached, and you'll always know where you stand. CS is a team sport, so it's okay to ask for help, experiment, fail, and pivot. A few things that are true here:
- Everyone is a builder. Our team builds in the product without engineering, and the best product ideas come from you, the person closest to the customer. We use AI to move fast, but we own our work, verify every fact, and don't ship slop.
- We lead with expertise, not order-taking. We get curious about the why behind every request, and we say no when no is the right answer.
- We work like owners, not clock-watchers. We care about outcomes, not hours. We take initiative, pick up the phone, and work obsessively on the problem in front of us.
- CS is a revenue engine, not a cost center. We treat it as the growth engine of the company and pay for results.
What we're looking for- Communication above all. This is the number one predictor of success in this role. You overcommunicate by default with customers, your team, and me. You're clear in writing and on calls, you set expectations, and you never leave people guessing.
- Fast and proactive. You process information quickly, ask for what you need instead of waiting, and show up to every call prepared.
- Curious, coachable, and low-ego. You're a fast learner who wants feedback, digs into the why behind every request, and gets better quickly.
- Comfortable getting technical. You don't need to code, but you're the kind of person who enjoys taking a tool apart, figuring out how it works, and building something useful with it.
- Strategic and commercial. You see usage and growth, not just tickets, and you're comfortable owning a number and an upgrade conversation.
- Opinionated about customer experience. Good strategic advice needs well-formed views, so have them.
- Self-directed. You take initiative, stay organized without being told, and run your own book without anyone managing your calendar. Calm under pressure.
- 2-5 years in solutions engineering, sales engineering, technical consulting, or another technical customer-facing role at a SaaS company. If your path is unconventional and you can explain how it'll help you succeed in this role, I welcome you to apply.
- Bonus points for experience in the staffing industry or with TempWorks, Avionte, Aqore/Zenople, Crelate, or Bullhorn.
- Based in Latin America or the US, with fluent written and spoken English, and able to work Eastern hours (we start at 8am ET).
You'll thrive here if...- You're technical and love to build.
- You're entrepreneurial. You treat your accounts like your own business and get energy from building from scratch.
- You're a consultative problem solver. You dig into the why behind what a customer asks and recommend the right solution, even when it's not the one they came in asking for.
- This sounds like fun to you: a customer wants to launch a complex, time-sensitive campaign across calls and texts, isn't sure how to structure it, and their team is stretched thin. You roll up your sleeves, map their goal to the product, and build it with them.
- You thrive in a fast, evolving startup and you're excited to help build a customer success program from the ground up.
LocationThis is a remote role open to candidates based anywhere in Latin America or the US. Our workday starts at 8am ET, so you'll need to work Eastern hours.
CompensationCompetitive compensation based on experience, including monthly performance bonuses and more.
Hiring Process- A 30-minute call with me to get to know each other better.
- You'll receive a take-home assignment that assesses your technical and strategic skills, and you'll present it to me on a one-hour call. This is your chance to showcase your skills.
- A 30-minute call with our CEO, David.
