Fulltime
Den Haag
Solutions Engineer at AM-i
AM-i is in a high-growth phase, doubling year over year and serving hundreds of dealership locations, selling into a complex automotive landscape. We offer a deep automotive vertical SaaS platform including integrations to many other systems. You can help making our growth phase a success by making the delivery of our platform well prepared and executed.
As Solutions Engineer, you cover the full arc from the first technical conversation to live deployment. Pre-sales, you take accountability for deal closes from a system/technical viewpoint and remove any blockers along the way. You create a full understanding of the prospect's system landscape, navigate their organization to find the right technical contacts, and tee up the deal for mutual agreement. This is all captured in a detailed system implementation plan. Post-sales, you take co-ownership of the deployment, getting involved where the onboarding team needs more technical guidance. The onboarding team owns the process, basic configuration, mainstream integrations. You step in where they lack the technical knowledge.
As the ideal candidate, you always understand what happens under the hood, you know how to map a dealer's technology environment, you like collaborating with customers directly, and you're the person who picks up the phone instead of waiting for an email. This role reports directly to the CRO and works in close collboration with the Sales and Onboarding teams.
1. Pre-Sales Technical Engagement
Qualify technical feasibility early and eliminate integration risk before closing. Ensure we sell what we can deliver fast and at scale
Lead technical discovery with prospects: understand their DMS, data feeds, OEM connections, and IT setup
Navigate the customer organization to identify and engage the right technical stakeholders
Deliver compelling product demonstrations tailored to the customer's specific environment
Don't wait for updates: pick up the phone to keep the project moving along
2. System Landscape Mapping & Integration Planning
Map the customer's full technology environment: DMS supplier, OEM data connections, advertisement integrations, and internal IT contacts
Identify integration dependencies and risks early in the engagement
Translate the system landscape into a concrete implementation plan with clear ownership and timelines
Align internally with Product and Onboarding on what is technically feasible and in what timeframe
3. Post-Sales Deployment & Implementation
Take ownership of the technical aspects of customer deployments from contract signature through to go-live
Execute integrations and configurations that go beyond standard onboarding steps
Coordinate with customer IT contacts and third-party vendors to resolve integration dependencies
Keep deployments on track — proactively chase blockers, follow up on open items, and flag risks before they become problems
4. Customer Technical Relationship
Be the trusted technical point of contact for customers during and after deployment
Act as the internal voice of the customer on technical matters: surface issues and improvement opportunities to Product and Engineering
Support customers in getting the most out of AM-i by helping them understand and leverage platform capabilities
5. Continuous Improvement
Feed structured insights from customer environments back into Product
Contribute to and improve standardized deployment playbooks based on what you learn in the field

Required
3 to 7 years in a technical customer-facing role: solutions engineering, implementation consulting, technical pre-sales, forward deployed engineering, or similar
Demonstrably tech-savvy: comfortable with system design, APIs, data flows, and integration concepts. Being a developer is not required, having a builder mindset is great
Track record of navigating complex customer organizations to find the right technical stakeholders and drive outcomes
Hyper-proactive communicator: you make calls rather than send emails to keep things moving along
You are a driver of outcomes (not a passive consultant). If something blocks progress, you solve, escalate, or reroute immediately
Experience working alongside sales teams in a pre-sales or deal-support capacity
Structured thinker who turns complex technical environments into clear plans and timelines
Preferred
Experience in automotive retail, dealership software, or vertical SaaS
Familiarity with DMS systems (e.g. Incadea, Keyloop, Autoline) or OEM data environments
