The Role

As a Senior Solutions Engineer, you will lead the technical design, architecture, and delivery of customer integrations and implementation projects. You’ll act as a trusted technical partner post-sale, ensuring each customer’s data sources connect cleanly to PAXAFE’s internal model.

You’ll design solution maps, identify long-lead items, surface dependencies, and build phased implementation plans that de-risk deployment. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role where you’ll balance technical depth with clear communication — helping both customers and developers achieve alignment.

What You’ll Do

· Lead technical discovery sessions with customers to uncover data sources, dependencies, and system constraints.

· Create solution maps and architecture diagrams linking customer systems and data fields to PAXAFE’s internal schema.

· Develop phased implementation plans, identifying long-lead items, critical information, and risk mitigations.

· Define API contracts, webhook schemas, transformation logic, and validation criteria for integrations.

· Coordinate with Product, Data, and Engineering to sequence deliverables and manage technical handoffs.

· Participate in customer implementation calls, guiding technical conversations and ensuring readiness.

· Use Linear for progress tracking and Figma / FigJam for solution mapping and documentation.

· Document reusable integration patterns and lessons learned to scale future projects.

· Support quality assurance and troubleshooting for live integrations as needed.

Who We’re Looking For

· 5+ years in a technical role such as Solutions Engineer, Integration Engineer, or Technical Consultant within a SaaS or data-platform company.

· Experience designing and implementing data integrations, REST APIs, webhooks, and relational database models (PostgreSQL, Supabase).

· Familiarity with Azure, Python, Postman, Prismatic, GitHub, and JSON-based data workflows.

· Strong communication skills — able to translate between technical and non-technical audiences.

· Ability to ask the right questions to extract technical details from business stakeholders and coordinate vendor setup for automated data flows.

· Experience managing multiple concurrent projects with attention to sequencing, scope, and delivery quality.

· Comfortable operating in a fast-paced startup environment that requires adaptability and initiative.

· Bonus: Exposure to life sciences, pharma logistics, GxP, or IoT ecosystems.
