at Choco

🏢 About Choco

Choco is a mission-driven company uniquely focused on streamlining supply chain communication to reduce food waste and enhance sustainability in the restaurant industry. Their technology directly addresses inefficiencies in food ordering and inventory management, making this role impactful beyond typical tech positions. Working here means contributing to both business efficiency and environmental sustainability goals.

About This Role

This Solution Engineer role involves designing and delivering seamless integrations between Choco's platform and customers' core business systems using low-code technologies like n8n. You'll own integration projects end-to-end while partnering with Sales to accelerate deals and with Product to evolve the platform based on real customer insights. Your work directly enables customer success and revenue growth by making Choco's sustainability solutions work within existing restaurant operations.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve collaborating with an Account Executive to prepare technical insights for an upcoming sales call, then designing an n8n workflow to integrate a new customer's inventory system with Choco's platform. You'd likely troubleshoot an existing integration issue, document best practices for the global team, and participate in a product feedback session sharing real customer insights from your integration work.
