Technical Solutions Engineer

The engineering team is responsible for all technology for Bestow and the Bestow Platform. We serve employees, consumers, and enterprise customers. As well as building software, we integrate and manage many thirdparty products used by employees and as part of the platform. Our major functional teams are product engineering, infrastructure, IT, data & analytics, martech, and program management. Engineering works closely with product management and design to define and prioritize the product roadmap.

The Bestow Partner Support Team is a highly visible and essential cog in the engineering org. We work with all the engineering teams and in all stacks to pinpoint, analyze, and fix as many bugs as possible without escalation to give as much time as possible to the rest of the org to create new products instead of having to fix issues with existing products. We also work directly with our partner’s engineers to ensure integration stays in optimal condition. Our influence plays a key role in our relationship with our partners.

This role reports to our Partner Support Manager and is open to Remote (US)
