Solutions Engineer

The opportunity ✨

Waitwhile works to eliminate the 1 trillion hours that people spend waiting in lines every year. Our platform is trusted by over 10,000 companies worldwide and has helped more than 250 million people enjoy a radically better waiting experience at places like IKEA, Louis Vuitton, Costco, Tribeca Film Festival and more.

We are looking for a Solutions Engineer in Europe to join our mission to eliminate waiting and improve customer journeys. Here's what you can expect:

• This is a very hands-on, technical role, that is much broader than a typical ticket-based support position. Our Solutions Engineers partner with our customers to tackle the challenging technical issues they face in innovative ways. In this role, you will be directly responsible for helping people integrate Waitwhile into their workflows, innovate new creative solutions and and serve as the bridge between our customers and our product teams in Europe.
• This opportunity is for folks who truly love problem-solving and troubleshooting, with the end goal of empowering our customers’ to reach their objectives and address any challenges with our product. We want people that have an eye for improvement and efficiency, someone who wants to work at a place where they’re encouraged to bring ideas and feedback to the table on how things could be better for both our customers and team.
• This position is based in Stockholm at our beautiful bright offices on Kungsgatan 32. We're an in-person company and prefer that you work from the office at least 2 days per week as we believe the best product gets built together, live.
  
  

What you’ll be doing 🚀

• Brainstorm with Product Managers, Designers, Engineers, Sales and Support members to conceptualize customer solutions and implement Waitwhile in the most optimal way.
• Debug complex issues with an understanding of both our own codebase and the many technologies employed by our customers
• Solve technical problems for customers on a daily basis via chat, email, video calls or live in-person.
• Build tools that will help increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the Support and Success team
• Influence the direction of the Waitwhile product through daily communication with our customers and consistent collaboration with our product teams
• Create and update technical documentation based on customer interactions and best practices
• Continually research and learn the current and future best practices of using Waitwhile - and stretch our platform to its full potential to support advanced use-cases.
• Respond to advanced product and technical questions, RFPs, and security questionnaires in a precise and timely manner
• Partner with our customers for API integrations and make improvements to our Developer Hub (developers.waitwhile.com) with new guides and tutorials
  
  

What Skills You Need 📖

• Solid basic knowledge of programming. You don’t have to be an expert in one of the languages we use (JavaScript, Angular, React) but you should be proficient and have an active interest in learning them
• Computer Science degree or 4+ years in an Enterprise Sales Engineering role (or similar) in a SaaS environment.
• Understanding of web technologies and concepts (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, APIs, etc.)
