About The Position

Let's be honest - most business software just isn't fun to use. It's clunky. It's complicated. And somehow, it costs a fortune. But what if it didn't have to be that way? At Freshworks, we believe business software should be as easy and delightful as the apps you love in your personal life. That's why we build powerful, intuitive, and refreshingly simple software that helps companies wow their customers and empower their teams - without the headaches. We're growing fast and we're on the lookout for a passionate, people-first leader to join our Solution Engineering team in North America.
