What you'll do

  • Run technical discovery calls to understand prospects' pricing models, billing infrastructure, and integration requirements
  • Lead and own product demos — building bespoke demo environments tailored to each prospect's use cases, not off-the-shelf scripts
  • Manage technical evaluations and cloud trials end-to-end: configure demo data, set up trial environments, run technical workshops, and stay close to the prospect throughout
  • Write clear, honest deal debriefs that capture what landed, what's at risk, and what actions are needed — shared with the AE and founder team
  • Surface and work through product gaps creatively: propose API-level workarounds, validate feasibility with engineering, and frame limitations transparently without losing deals
  • Produce competitive technical analysis and maintain battle cards as Lago's market position evolves
  • Partner with AEs on commercial strategy: know when to push for a close, when to escalate to a founder, and how to sequence the conversation
  • Lead onboarding for new customers — both their engineering teams (API integration, event schema, webhooks) and their finance and ops teams (plan configuration, invoice flows, reporting)
  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact through the implementation phase, owning the customer relationship until they go live
  • Conduct proactive check-ins and syncs throughout implementation to unblock customers and prevent issues before they escalate
  • Identify expansion and optimisation opportunities within existing accounts as usage matures
  • Partner with Customer Success and Support to ensure a clean handoff after go-live
  • Feed recurring implementation pain points back to Product and Engineering to inform roadmap prioritisation

What they require

  • A strong technical generalist who can read API documentation, write a curl command, debug a webhook, and explain the result to a VP of Finance in the same afternoon
  • A natural deal-shaper — you understand commercial dynamics and help AEs close by removing technical blockers, not by just answering questions
  • Someone who writes thorough, clear post-call debriefs without being asked: every prospect interaction generates signal for the team
  • Comfortable with ambiguity: you don't have a perfect answer for every gap, but you're good at finding one that keeps the deal alive and serves the customer well
  • Genuinely curious about how billing and pricing systems work — the nuances of metering, aggregation, invoice generation, and revenue recognition interest you
  • Proactive about internal tooling and process: if you can script or automate something that saves the team time, you do it
  • You're not someone who reads from a slide deck and escalates anything technical to engineering
  • You're not indifferent to whether a deal closes or a customer goes live — you feel ownership over both outcomes
  • You're not a siloed individual contributor — you share context freely, write things down, and loop in the right people early
  • You're not passive in post-sales: a customer who's stuck is a customer who churns, and you move quickly to prevent that
  • 5+ years in a Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, or technical pre-sales role — ideally in a developer tools, API-first, or infrastructure SaaS company
  • Strong technical foundation: comfortable with REST APIs, JSON, SQL, and working through integration architectures
  • Demonstrated experience running complex evaluations and POCs with enterprise or mid-market prospects
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; fluent in English (French is a significant plus for European accounts)
  • Track record of collaborating closely with AEs and founders in a fast-moving sales environment
  • Ability to manage multiple active deals and customer implementations simultaneously without dropping the ball
  • Preferred: Experience with billing, usage-based pricing, fintech, or revenue infrastructure
  • Preferred: Background in post-sales implementation or customer success engineering
  • Preferred: Exposure to open-source products or developer communities
  • Preferred: Experience presenting to both engineering and finance/executive audiences
  • Applicants must be based in Europe. Applications from other locations will not be considered.
