3d•$165,000 - $185,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Laurel is seeking a technically skilled Implementation Engineer to support clients' ongoing technical operations and critical system transitions. This role involves ensuring seamless integrations between Laurel and client Practice Management Systems (PMS), ERP platforms, and other business-critical systems, resolving complex technical issues, and guiding clients through high-stakes system migrations. A key focus is supporting clients within complex ERP environments, with experience in other enterprise ERP systems being highly valuable. This hybrid role combines DevOps monitoring, technical troubleshooting, ERP and PMS integrations, and client-facing support. The Implementation Engineer will act as the escalation point for internal teams when integrations fail, systems go down, or data is not flowing correctly. Responsibilities include investigating issues across Laurel, SAP S/4HANA and other ERP environments, Practice Management Systems, APIs, and related integration layers to identify root causes and coordinate resolutions. While much of the work is behind the scenes, direct interaction with client technical contacts is expected for diagnosing issues, coordinating fixes, supporting system migrations and ERP transitions, and ensuring smooth billing operations.
