About the team
The Solutions Engineering team at Metronome is a technical group that sits at the intersection of everything Metronome does: sales, account management, product, R&D, and operations. 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.
What you’ll do
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. If this excites you as much as it excites us, let’s talk.
