This is an engineering role with a customer axis — not a sales role with a technical veneer. Solutions Engineers at Esper build things: integration tooling, validation frameworks, automation pipelines, provisioning scripts, custom device configurations, and proof-of-concept implementations that solve real customer problems. They also run technical evaluations, validate hardware compatibility, respond to security questionnaires, and advise deals on technical feasibility.
The team operates as a customer-facing engineering unit — shipping code that directly enables customer deployments, building custom integrations, deployment automation, reference implementations, and tooling that bridges the gap between Esper’s platform and a customer’s specific environment.
Day-to-day, this role involves using agentic AI workflows to accelerate development and research; validating and integrating OEM hardware into Esper’s platform; writing integration code and automation scripts for customer deployments; leading technical evaluations for enterprise prospects; responding to security questionnaires and RFPs; and serving as the technical point of contact for OEM partners and enterprise customers throughout the sales cycle.
Qualifications
Requires two years of experience in:
Using agentic AI tools (such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot Workspace, or custom agents) as part of daily development workflows, including spec-driven development and multi-step agent orchestration;
Debugging and troubleshooting complex technical issues across multiple systems, including reading logs, tracing state machines, and isolating variables;
Writing and shipping code — tooling, automation, integrations, or production features;
Communicating technical concepts clearly in both written and verbal form to non-technical stakeholders and technical engineers;
Working independently in ambiguous environments without detailed specifications or runbooks.
