Our modular, API-first platform helps businesses streamline spending, improve cash flow, and integrate payments into their financial workflows. Designed for industries with complex payment needs, such as travel and fleet, Pliant enables greater efficiency, control, and profitability.
We serve two primary customer segments:

About the Role
As a Solutions Engineer remote (m/f/d), you'll be a key technical consultant and enabler for our customers and partners, helping them successfully adopt and scale Pliant's platform. You will work with an ambitious team of Solutions Engineers, and collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Partnerships, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering to deliver smooth onboarding, strong integrations, and high-quality technical guidance.
What You'll Do
- Own technical onboarding & integrations: Plan and drive customer/partner onboarding, integration timelines, and go-live readiness for API-based setups.
- Support Sales & Partnerships (pre-sales): Handle technical discovery, solution design, demos, RFP/questionnaires, and proof-of-concepts for enterprise opportunities and partners.
- Be the integration "problem solver" during the onboarding (post-sales): Troubleshoot integration challenges, reproduce problems, propose workarounds, and coordinate with Product/Engineering to resolve blockers quickly.
- Enable and train developers & operators: Run workshops and training sessions, help customers build confidently on our APIs with best practices, examples, and clear guidance.
- Build reusable assets: Collaborate with our technical writer to produce and maintain reference architectures, integration playbooks, checklists, and internal enablement material to improve consistency and speed across implementations.
- Bring customer feedback into the product loop: Capture structured feedback, identify recurring pain points, and help translate field insights into product and documentation improvements.
What You'll Bring
- 5+ years of relevant experience in solutions engineering/architecture, sales engineering, or technical consulting.
- Strong technical experience with APIs and integrations (REST, JSON, webhooks, authentication concepts like OAuth/API keys, Postman/cURL).
- Comfortable with one programming language (e.g., TypeScript, Python, Java) to build lightweight prototypes, integration validation, and test workarounds with REST APIs.
- Strong communication skills across demos, solution design, and technical enablement with both engineers and business stakeholders.
- High-ownership, service-oriented mindset, comfortable driving end-to-end solutions, unblocking others, and systematizing learnings into repeatable assets.
- Experience building repeatable processes (intake, triage, enablement assets) to scale our services across many stakeholders.
- Experience owning complex customer/partner integrations end-to-end, coordinating multiple stakeholders and driving timelines to completion.
- Fluent in English.
Bonus points
- Fintech/payments/cards experience.
- Experience with ERP or accounting integrations (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, DATEV, Xero, QuickBooks) and related data flows (accounting reconciliation, exports, etc.).
- Other European languages are a plus.
