About the role:
Curri is seeking a Solutions Engineer to own the technical side of every enterprise deal — discovery, integration scoping, demos, and RFP responses. This is Curri's first SE role: you will build the playbook from scratch, free Engineering from sales cycles, and become the trusted technical voice across the Revenue org. Real integration design work, a direct line to Product and Engineering, and full ownership at a company winning enterprise share in a logistics market being rebuilt at scale.
What you will do:
Own pre-sales technical discovery and demos for enterprise opportunities, tailored to each prospect's stack and use case.
Lead integration scoping and design (APIs, TMS/ERP/WMS, custom workflows) and produce clean handoff documentation for Implementation.
Own RFP, RFI, and security questionnaire responses; build and maintain a reusable library.
Design and run proof-of-value pilots, including success criteria and outcome reporting.
Drive sales enablement — train AEs, build battlecards, maintain the demo environment.
Bring technical gaps and integration requests from the field back to Product and Engineering with clear prioritization.
What you need to have:
API and integration fluency — reading docs, writing calls in Postman or curl, and explaining REST, webhooks, and auth to non-technical buyers.
Discovery and scoping instincts to ask the right technical questions and translate them into clear integration designs.
Executive presence with VP and C-suite buyers — calm, credible, and articulate under pressure.
Demo craft to build tailored presentations that land, treating every demo as a product.
Cross-functional range across Sales, Engineering, Product, and Customer Success.
Bonus points for:
Having read Curri's API docs ahead of time and arriving with thoughts on integration patterns or gaps.
Founder or operator experience — having built or shipped something yourself.
Prior experience with construction, industrial, or distribution buyers.
A natural instinct for coaching and leveling up the AEs around you.
What is in it for you?
First SE at Curri — full ownership to define the playbook, demo environment, and scoping process.
Direct influence on the Product and Engineering roadmap based on what you bring back from the field.
Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits (health, dental, vision, 401K).
Fully remote with occasional travel.
A high-growth, mission-driven environment where your work has direct and measurable impact.
