Solutions Engineering Mission

Solutions Engineers are the trusted advisors of the customer. By identifying various areas of applicability, defining value by adoption, and helping leadership see the business outcomes by expansion, Solutions engineers are responsible for making a compelling case for product growth within the customer organization.

You will partner with our Customer AI Engineers (CAE) and Strategic Account Executives (SAE) in our more complex and technical engagements to grow the accounts at an enterprise scale.

The Solutions Engineering team serves as the technical leaders throughout the pre‑sales and post‑sales customer success journey. They possess a deep, fundamental understanding of the product and its connection to the customer’s aspiration through occasional PoVs.

Your mission is to understand our clients’ requirements and technical challenges, and to design and implement solutions that leverage the full potential of our platform to enable them to achieve their localization goals.

The SE team is uniquely positioned to understand market demands for workflows, features, and direction, while also being technically adept at identifying product gaps that users may encounter.

Solutions Engineers serve as a critical bridge between Product & Engineering teams and customer‑facing teams, ensuring the product stays ahead of competition and aligned with market trends.

• Representing Smartcat at Customer and Industry Events — Serve as a Smartcat technical expert at conferences, webinars, and customer onsite visits.

• Bug Triaging and Platform Improvement Requests — Serve as the technical bridge between customers and the Product team. Collect feedback, identify product gaps, and advocate for enhancements that improve customer experience and expand Smartcat’s capabilities.
• Technical Documentation — Create, organize, and maintain detailed technical documentation to ensure clarity, consistency, and scalability across Smartcat.
• Develop Deep Platform Expertise — Become a subject‑matter expert on the Smartcat platform. Master its core value proposition, integrations, AI capabilities, and end‑to‑end workflows. Continuously expand your technical knowledge to advise customers on best practices, innovative use cases, and optimal solution design. Act as a trusted advisor internally and externally, helping teams and clients unlock the full potential of Smartcat’s technology.
