Senior Solutions Engineer

At Authorium the Senior Solutions Engineer will leverage their extensive technical proficiency to understand customer needs and configure a solution in the Authorium Platform to meet those specifications. In collaboration with the Professional Services team, they will address customer technical inquiries and facilitate the transition of existing customer processes to our platform. Furthermore, they will cultivate professional relationships with clients to understand their challenges, ensuring the implementation process aligns with their unique needs.

At Authorium, we’re well aware of the impact the government can have on people’s lives. We won’t rest until every government has access to the modern technologies the private sector takes for granted. The barrier here is legacy procurement processes that can be byzantine in complexity. Authorium makes products to modernize legacy procurement processes and as well as to pioneer greater agility in procurement.

We are looking for a Senior Solutions Engineer to understand customer needs and present solutions accordingly as we grow Authorium to the next level. This role will include up to 25% travel for on-site customer work.

We are looking for someone who is extremely ambitious, curious, and hungry to make a big impact in the lives of our customers (the government officials responsible for changing residents' lives through innovation in procurement). You are someone who possesses both a high level of customer empathy and technical mindset. You are resourceful and aren't afraid to push yourself outside of your comfort zone in order to solve a problem. In this position, you’ll be an integral part of the Professional Services team, helping deliver big customer wins and providing a voice for improvement of our offerings.
