About Engine

At Engine, we’re transforming business travel into something personalized, rewarding, and simple. For too long, managing travel and spend has been overwhelming and fragmented — we’re here to change that. We believe the future of travel should be seamless and powered by technology that delights customers at every step. That’s why we’re building a platform that brings together corporate travel, a powerful charge card, and modern spend management in one place.

To make this vision real, we’re looking for exceptional, mission-driven people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel.

More than 20,000 companies already rely on Engine to support over 1 million travelers and billions in annual bookings each year. Cash flow positive with rapid growth, we pair exclusive Engine-only rates, industry-leading rewards, and intelligent automation to help businesses save money while delivering world-class personalization and convenience.

Backed by Telescope Partners, Blackstone, and Permira, Engine has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing travel and fintech platforms in North America, with honors including the Deloitte Fast 500 and Built In’s Best Places to Work.

Your Mission

We’re seeking a Principal Solutions Engineer, Product Partnerships to serve as the technical point of contact for partners and customers during launch and go-live, while laying the groundwork for a scalable Solutions Engineering function.

This is a first-in-role, senior hire. Initially, you’ll be deeply hands-on—owning technical discovery, integration design, and launch execution. Over time, you’ll evolve the operating model, playbooks, and team structure needed to build a best-in-class SE organization from scratch.

You’ll work at the intersection of Product, Partnerships, Engineering, and early Support, ensuring our APIs and integrations deliver real-world value for partners and customers—and that technical execution scales with Engine’s growth.

Lead technical discovery, solution design, and implementation support
Guide partners through API usage, authentication, data models, and integration patterns
Own technical launch readiness and sign-off, ensuring performance, security, and scalability standards are met

Post Go-Live Technical Support

Provide post-launch technical support for partner and customer accounts until a dedicated support team is established
Triage, troubleshoot, and resolve integration issues in collaboration with Product and Engineering
Identify recurring issues and translate them into product, platform, or documentation improvements

Product & Platform Feedback Loop

Serve as the technical translator between partners and internal teams
Deliver structured, actionable feedback to inform API roadmap, platform strategy, and developer experience
Partner closely with Product Partnerships and Product leadership on technical direction

Enablement & Playbooks

Build and maintain technical launch playbooks, reference architectures, and integration patterns
Create and iterate on partner-facing technical documentation and enablement materials
Enable internal stakeholders with clear technical context and guidance

SE Org Design & Scale

Define role scope, engagement models, success metrics, and tooling
Establish best practices for a repeatable, scalable launch and integration motion
