Solutions Engineer (Consultant)

As a Solutions Engineer at Cerve, you'll work directly with customers to understand their challenges and deliver solutions that solve real problems. You'll own projects end-to-end, from initial discovery through to production deployment, while collaborating closely with our engineering and product teams.

• Customer Delivery & Ownership: Lead customer engagements from technical scoping through implementation. You'll be the primary technical point of contact, translating business requirements into working software and ensuring successful outcomes.
• Solution Design & Development: Design and build integrations and custom solutions that connect our customers' systems with Cerve's platform. Balance pragmatic delivery with long-term maintainability, knowing when to move fast and when to build for scale.
• Hands-on Engineering: Write production code across the stack. Build backend services, work with APIs, and develop frontend interfaces as needed. You're comfortable picking up whatever technology the project requires.
• Technical Communication: Explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Document solutions clearly and ensure customers can maintain and extend what you build.
• Quality & Reliability: Deliver solutions that work in production. Implement appropriate testing, monitoring, and observability based on each project's needs.

This role creates positive change by building solutions that reduce waste, improve food security, drive growth and optimise operational efficiency in the global food system through data democratization and connectivity.

• 5-8 years designing, developing and delivering software in consulting, agency or customer-facing roles.
• Hands-on experience building data products and integrations. Working with APIs, SDKs, and messy real-world data sources (CSVs, legacy databases, non-standard formats).
• Generalist technical experience: Strong fundamentals across backend and frontend, comfortable picking up new technologies quickly (we use Go, Python, and React, but aptitude beats specific experience).
• Production experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred) and databases (SQL and NoSQL).
• A track record of owning projects end-to-end, from customer conversations through to deployment.

No specific compensation, perks, or culture highlights mentioned in the job description.

At Cerve, our mission is to power a digitally-enabled global food system. We believe that creating a sustainable and resilient food system hinges on making data accessible and transparent.
