Mission

Overview of role

We are looking for a highly motivated Solution Engineer (SE) to support growing our strongest markets in managing and integrating all the ERPs out there that our wholesale customers are using. You will be part of our customer success team and accompany our customer success managers in basically all new closings in multiple markets in Europe. In addition, you will work close with integration developers (IDs) and out CTO. Your feedback from new integrations will be substantial for further developments on Orderlion’s integration capabilities. This role blends relationship management, technical expertise, and project leadership to drive successful outcomes for both clients and Orderlion. Do you love working with tech, diving deep into data, building relationships, have a true passion for making customers successful, and want to be part of revolutionizing an entire industry alongside an experienced entrepreneurial team? Read on and join us at Orderlion!

Core tasks

• Manage multiple integrations between Orderlion and 3rd party software: Your main todo is to manage & communicate all our integrations with 3rd party software, especially ERPs. Orderlion already integrates with 50+ ERPs and more are added every week. We need your support to manage all these integrations, communicate with our partners, align on tech todos and possible roadblocks.
• Manage relationships: You are the main point of contact for all these software partners. You build relationships with them, maybe even meet them at events, and more.
• Design interfaces: In light of all these ERP integrations, you will design the best ways to exchange data - in which formats, using which methods (e.g. file based exchange vs APIs) and find the common denominator between our data models and the ERPs data structure.
• Gather information & prepare everything for our integration developers (IDs): When the most important facts, documentation, … is there and aligned with the 3rd party, the handover to our IDs is done by you to actually make the new integration a reality and provide immediate value to the new Orderlion wholesaler.
• Testing new integrations: When new integrations are put live onto our staging environment by an ID, you will be in charge of testing the new integrations and provide feedback. If small details are missing or broken, you align with the ID and the ERP accordingly.
• Process Improvement: Collaborate with your team to continuously improve our internal processes for a high level of efficiency and automation.
• What you will NOT be doing: It is not your job to actually program our interfaces accordingly (after all, we are not looking for a developer here, but a Solution Engineer!). For this, you will work very closely with our integration developers (IDs). That being said, having some code writing skills and a general understanding how programming languages work and “how to read” code is definitely a plus.
