Customer Engineer
About The Position
As a Customer Engineer at Column, you’ll get the chance to work with some of the coolest companies in fintech and help them understand how to build solutions/products using our APIs and data model. This is a super cross-functional role where you’ll partner with team members across our engineering, business, operations, finance, and compliance teams to support customer implementations and drive payment volume through Column (and help grow our business as a result!). You'll also contribute to gathering and synthesizing product feedback, identifying gaps, and supporting the development of product requirements while learning how we prioritize new feature development with our engineering team. This role requires more technical aptitude than the average Customer Engineering position - you'll need to understand our technology deeply to be an effective partner to our customers. You'll also assist in building internal tooling to improve operational efficiency, with significant opportunities to take on more responsibility as you grow. This role will work alongside our team in our Presidio-based office (4 days in-person/week) and reports to Column’s Head of Solution Engineering.
