By bringing together bright, motivated creators, wherever they live and work, we are leveraging humanity’s diversity of experience and background in order to understand the challenges facing our food supply, and solve them together. Come join us, and help build the type of business you’d like to be a part of.

We are a socially conscious, distributed team. We give you the opportunity to solve challenges in the global food industry while living where you’re most comfortable and working in areas where you can help foster and grow the community that you are a part of.

We believe in transparency, diversity, merit and fostering a culture of empowerment, personal impact and career growth.  As a Solution Engineer you will be working closely with sales, engineering and customer success to ensure new customers are successful in our platform. Success in the role will require excellent communication skills as you will be both customer facing and working with our software engineers. Given that data is core to our customer success, the Solution Engineer will be responsible for getting customer data in and out of  our platform. Part of your responsibilities will also be working hand in hand with engineering to prioritize, design and implement new data integrations. The role is highly technical in nature and the best candidates will have software development experience,experience with APIs and integrations and the ability to see the “bigger picture” on how Crisp can fit into the customer’s existing technology stack.

• Customer focused. Our customers are at the forefront of your day.  You prioritize our customers’ voice to ensure their needs are met.

• Work smarter and harder. You often identify a problem, create a solution and bring it to a state of completion - with others, or even on your own.  You find ways of eliminating or automating stuff that is uninteresting or wasteful.

Crisp’s Tech Stack

• Statically typed, modern languages. We use Kotlin, TypeScript and React for the UI, and GraphQL with Apollo to communicate with our backend. Knowledge of these specific technologies is not a requirement. If you’re willing to learn, we’re willing to help you along the way.
• Continuous deployment. Code is never far from being deployed to production, because if it’s not in production, it’s not solving problems in the real world. Our branch time spans are short, and features under development are hidden behind feature flags.
• Start-up mode.  The team is still small, and the product is fresh.  You’ll be able to exert a large amount of influence, and contribute to decisions that will determine the future of the product and the team.
