About The Position

Route's Solutions Engineering department is the technical backbone of our merchant-facing organization. We partner with merchants and the non-technical teams across Route who serve them whenever the conversation gets technical, from the first demo through launch and across the life of the account. We own the technical scoping and solution design, the implementation of Route's post-purchase products on every storefront we touch, and the technical relationship that keeps merchants thriving on the platform long after go-live. This is a small, high-leverage team that treats AI as a force multiplier by using AI tooling to move faster, diligence deeper, and raise the technical bar on every merchant interaction. The Implementation team specifically is responsible for implementing the Route widget on merchant sites, ensuring seamless integration so merchants can get the most out of Route's products and features. The biggest challenges we tackle are reducing merchant time to revenue, handling complex custom integrations, and maintaining implementation quality across a high volume of merchant onboarding. As an Implementation Engineer you will be responsible for ensuring that Route’s product and features are properly implemented on our partner merchants’ e-commerce stores. Every day matters at Route and you will play a key role in decreasing our merchant partners' "time to revenue" through an efficient and successful implementation. The person in this role will work in a highly cross-functional setting, working in harmony with account executives, support engineers, sales engineers, and software engineers and act as the primary technical resource to ensure Route is properly implemented. This is an opportunity to bring together technical expertise and client partnership in a high-impact way. You’ll work closely with merchants to translate complex web and e-commerce concepts into clear, actionable solutions that drive real business outcomes. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a client-facing environment, takes ownership of results, and enjoys bridging the gap between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.
