Bottom line, we own the technical side of the customer lifecycle from the very first discovery call through demos, POC, technical scoping, and handover to our post-sales groups. We act like a producer to get the show running with Metronome. This role will train you to grow across these vectors. As a member of the Solutions Engineering team, your first month will be: * Learning to tell a clear value story about how and where Metronome solves challenges and creates opportunities in a modern monetization stack. * Assisting in planning, building, and running customized demos of Metronome for buyers with many different personas (engineering, product management, operations, finance, etc). In your first 3 months, you can expect to: * Become proficient in what discovery is and using it to understand what challenges our prospects face * Travel to meet prospects in the field. Workshops, conferences, on-sites - we believe in meeting our customers in-person whenever possible. Anywhere in the world. * Land deals for some of the most exciting names in software, from startups to enterprise SaaS. In 6 months you'll be: * Owning knowledge areas, projects, tools, and market segments in the Solutions Engineering team. * Running tight Proofs of Concept with clearly-defined success criteria that get us to the technical win. * Representing the Solutions Engineering group as a deal team member on your own. * Handling detailed scoping to ensure that customers are set up for success post-sales. In your first year you'll have: * Built relationships with people at our prospect organizations, from day-to-day operators to C-Suite executives. * Designed integrations of Metronome into prospect systems and acted as a pricing and packaging consultant, influencing the direction of our future customers. As a fast-moving unit within Stripe, there's a lot still to figure out and tremendous room for high-agency people to have impact and make a difference.
